Hmmm...your recruitment attempts are admirable, but probably not going to be very profitable in the Halls. It's too bad there are so many inactives in the MWC, you guys would have it made if a few of your overlords would wake up!

That's the trouble. Mebbe I should find an empire that *is* active where I won't be the only one pulling the whole group along

Well, you're always welcome to join us here in the Fellowship!

or, you could submit a couple more evil games and join the Evil Empire.

But I wouldn't lose hope in the MWC just yet. I suggest you stick it out and eventually they'll return to active duty over there.

I wonder what is the percentage of active players for the major empires of the Metaverse.
That would be an interesting stat.

I would define an active player as one who have submitted a game in the recent 2 weeks.

~SDC~

That would be an interesting stat to know. I wonder if idle's stat bot could be coded to choose out the active players in each empire?

Ahhhhhh, a convert . You cannot resist the will of the RING!! hehe

Just out of curiosity Ray, what were your exact picks? Im interested it what you complimented the Pop Growth with.

thanks

Think I'll be a Viraxian for a bit. couslee should take a screenshot of Viraxian in 15th place.

Welcome to the Fellowship, Jack LEagle! I have added you to the Fellowship Roster at this http://www.angelfire.com/rings/fellowshipgalciv

In case you're wondering, I am in the Fellowship, just on vacation at the moment.

Help me kryofx. You're my only hope....

Oky doky folks, time for Update #2.

I got to play for all of an hour last night, Yippee! I did get some things accomplished though. So far I have been able to Keep the Yor at "friendly" by giving them a meaningless tech now and then. Ive also kept them at war with 2 and sometimes 3 other civs at all times. Im not sure how those wars are going for either side though since i dont have any ships at the front sending back any images. I'll fix that soon though since i built Eyes of the Universe a couple of turns ago. Really underestimated wonder on these big maps IMHO. The Yor are currently at war with the Arceans and Altarians (who have formed an Alliance I think) and ive also just bribed them to attack the Torians. The torians have the 2nd biggest military and so I figure that that should keep them busy. We also just past UPN vote the make the YOR give us 3% for 5 years LOL . As I said before, I think the Arceans and Altarians have allied but Im not concerned about them at all, Ive got em beat by a long shot. I am concerened though that the Torians are close allying as well, and they are pretty tough. If I get all 3 of them against me from 2 sides...it could be fun. I say BRING IT ON!!

Ive still got a tech lead over everyone but the Yor and Im gaining on them now that I have 33% allocated to research. I got Hyperspace (speed, Hyper Manu, Hyper Mining), Xeno Propoganda (Prop Machine), Sensors (Eyes), Advanced Repair (Mirco Bots), and then teched through to Nano mining for the econ and to give me several mining modules to build. Its always about this time that Im able to start churning out constructors on a regular basis and this game was no different. Therefore, I needed to research mining modules to have somewhere to put them. So far Ive grabbed 3 econ, 1 infl, 2 morale, 1 mil. There wasnt a single research resource withing range . Im also maintaining my monopoly on the goods/wonders. I just finished by Hyperion Manu Center on my PQ 31 capital and have started building the Propaganda Machine there. Earth is working on Micro Repair Bots while another planet will start Virtual Reality Modules next turn. Since my last update I have added the following wonders (averaging a wonder/good about every 4 turns): Eyes of the Universe, Restaraunt of Eternity, Harmony Crystals (huge for pop growth).

Next on the list:
Im about 3 turns from starting phase 3 which is where I start building a military (wont to get Genetic Mapping firs). The first part of this will be to build a battle axe at every planet while I tech to Dreads. I will spit out a couple battle hammers and maybe a Death Knight along the way just as a show of force. Once I get to dreads, I will put out about 4 of those. I wont build a real fighting force till I get to Rangers and I wont do that until I go through the computer techs. The other ships are too slow or too weak. Before I attack though I will buy up some of the military resources. I havent been able to grab enough and I have 5000 in the bank right now. Then let the games begin

Well that about somes it up. Till next time....

Of course, if you, ric and I joined the Anzacs for a day or two, it might really upset the pirates....

LOL

Good luck with your symbiote implant!

Alex


~SDC~

Hmmm...that's actually a quite intriguing idea, Alex!

Wonder what they do if they fell to third?

Okay, I'm in ANZAC Republic now! LOL I'm beginning to see why Cotal did this a few weeks ago! LOL

In fact we don't even need ric or another high scorer! Of course we'll have to leave it there so the Metaverse review can comment!

Anzac to second.... LOL

It's intriguing what a quarter million points will do! You and I on our own would be in 11th place overall....

Whoa, I just checked in for the first time and I see all these kangaroos in the thread.

Good to hear from you Michael Casey. I'm sorry we don't see you more often, but as you say law school is tough. I have friends in law school now who I never ever see anymore.

Don't worry about the kangaroos - poisoned koala ought to sort them out. Consider it a strategic attack on the pirates! LOL


Alex


~SDC~

Woohoo! This is fun! Watch the pirates go to 3rd! LOL

If ric or vincible joined the MWC the pirates would probably go to fourth!

Mwahahahaha!!!! (I don't think there's an emoticon for an evil snigger yet!)

vincible, join MWC!!

Heh, though if a couple pirates then jumped to MWC or Anzac they'd go to first!

Can't stand the Midwest... but I suppose sacrifices must be made for a good cause.

Then there's no problem - just put the ring back on - but let theoden get a screenshot for his newssheet!

Alex


~SDC~

Oh beggar - it's not quite enough - 21000 short.....

Alex


~SDC~

Dang...are there any more Fellowship hanging around??

I just want to get a screenshot of G.R.O.S.S. in fourth!!

Maybe we could get a Jedi or a Euro to contribute.
