Kit: great to hear from you! Hope you will be around for a bit... :D

Ooh, when did we got the spaceship-comet-blueball thingy?

Btw, have any of you guys ever heard of "Wombat Bitter"? I saw an old sign for it at the SCG, and even google drew a blank.

Although giving Ben a solid whipping with a Bic was painful for me

Theoden:

It was meant mearly to be entertaining. The whole idea there was to have you try to beat Ben into submission, all while saying "Oh, sorry. Don't mean to hurt you..." etc etc.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. :CONGRAT:

Piers- thanks for including me in the story.

I think I could find a permanent opening in Q Branch for you if you'd like it.... :SURPRISED: ;p LOL

Cheers & Beers, Piers

Dear special punks, thank you for not using my rank anymore (it was stirring bad blood in me to see it everyday). I like this flaming blue ball with the space background. :)

Yeah, the comet thingy looks really good! Does that infer that you will burn brightly then disappear silently into the darkness of space? ;)

Piers, if you're looking for an assistant in the Q branch then I'm your Bundy Bear. I'd be happy to help in the brewery too if you need it... I'll be kind of busy tonight crushing some Torian slugs - but I'd be happy to sign on tomorrow.

Wombat- posted my two cents in Command Center.

Cheers,
Cypher

Theoden,

I have a headline for you:
Fellowship suddenly feels very foolish when they suddenly realize Galactic Civilizations is a SPACE themed game. In a recent interview, Ray the Wanderer confessed 'I've know all along that this wasn't a fantasy game but I wanted to offer a support group for any those Renaissance Faire wannabees, and anyway I wanted to be all powerful and find a bunch of toadies, ahh.. I meant followers. It just goes to show that while the Fellowship is persistant, the majority of our members certainly aren't very bright - but that just makes them easier to subvert with the ring. Wanna see my ring?'

Wombie, I'm at work at the moment - I'll stop by the Secret Special Forces War-Tavern in a few hours for the discussion on the applicants.

Oh, I'd say we know Galactic Civilizations pretty well. The big 1 beside our empire name pretty much says it all, doesn't it? ;)

Jealousy is quite a bad vice. Not very attractive at all. LOL

That’s OK Theoden. It would seem that it’s our place to provide the mark the other empires strive to surpass, and as such will continue to provide this incentive for some time to come, I’m sure! ;)

Yeah, I got bored with the stripes - be on the look out for more icon changes coming!

Hmmm...why did these wizards start turning up in our thread? Methinks we hit a nerve ;p

No - it means we'll dominate the skies on a regular basis ;)

So every seventy years you get a week of glory. I guess that's fair.

Nah. I think the party just follows y'all wherever ya go. Then again, what I call a party (booz, insults, chaos) is something completely different for others.

Having these particular robed goons in a thread is what I would take as a compliment. ...no matter what silly noises they’re making. ;)

Love the comet. It reminds me of the brigades of drop bears the legendary Killa Koala used to lead on suicidal mass driver attacks. Brings a tear to my eye, everytime...

Y’all can probably tell me if I have this straight. Since I left:

Aldar started getting recruits.
The ANZACs exploded and then reformed.
Ol’ Blue is now Smeagol.
Currently, the ANZACs are negotiating with Evil Empire about something.
Rainbird changed names and then retired - nuts! (:(
Realms Beyond... came from somewhere... I guess ‘beyond’. LOL
Obi left the Jedis to join y’all.
Kyro left MWC to join JR.

Right? :notsure:

Eh? I thought it went Cotal - something cupid - Ginata.

Rainbird was some other woman from Oz. Was a Republican. Then Evil. Yes no?
