Somebody told me a certain sea-going predator was leaving. Man, it's not going to be the same around here. But have fun doing some other things and don't be a stranger! You'll always be welcome at the Guardians' Grog for a drink and a joke.
We'll leave a light on for ya.

Here's a Guardian's Corvette we uh "salvaged for ya" Jaws....To exercise your Jaws on. Come visit us on Tortuga once in awhile.
 
| |
|
I wish to say from the Diplomats, and indeed from everyone here that we will miss you, and hope you will continue to drop in here from time to time. I hope your future exploits will be great, and if you find another great game, you will tell us so we can come after you there as well! Goodluck and may your luck forever hold!

Suddenly taps is interrupted when a pirate walks into the middle of the band.
Now a more appropriate send off.
Bummmmmmm bummmmmmm. bummmmm bummmm. bummm bumm bumm bummm bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum... Bawooooom (that's the theme from the movie jaws for those unitiated).

Well I lost one of my contraparts, you will be missed Jaws, things are kind of quiet because almost everyone is involved in the Clone Wars, but you always will be welcome to comeback and scold me once in a while, when I step out of the line. 
Now I can start spamming threads again and driving people nuts and flaming wars and, nahhhhhhhhhhh without Jaws here ain't going to be the same, so now that I am a pirate, I don't have to flame, I will let my cannons do the talking. 
Hey Jaws if you get bored in the island remember that there is a pirate ship anchored waiting for you!!!

Hmmm...two retirements... 
Cypher, we'll hate to see you go. But if the game isn't any fun anymore, it's certainly time to find something that is fun.
I hope that everyone doesn't take Cypher's and Jaws' retirements as a sign that the Metaverse is dying. These two guys have been around a very long time and it's just time to move on. There are many new players coming in and more will be on the way when AP goes public. Then look for more when GalCiv 2 comes out and people get interested in seeing where the story started. By no means should anyone think that there's any slowdown around here. If you have any questions about that, just look at the Galactic Forum and see how many newbies are asking questions! Fact is, since we're not recruiting anybody anymore, the empires are slowing down.
Which brings me to my point. People want to be asked to join an empire. They don't just look at a post in a recruitment thread and decide they want to join an empire. They want to be wanted.
The recruitment rules may make a few people happy but I think we need to look at this subject again. We can't sit idly by as the current trend continues.

Well I got chewed up when I oppose to stop the recruiting and now we see the consequences, it was more active around here when you could go to other threads and start asking people to join your empire, but the will of few people took control over everything under the name SPAM, do you all remember how I was bashed for spamming???

Now, don't take my comments the wrong way. The still needs to be some limits on recruiting. My point is that instead of everyone completely restricting their recruiting, we need to add a blurb at the bottom of our posts in the Galactic Forum (which is allowed but nobody does!). People just took the recruiting restrictions way too far and instead of limiting recruiting, it effectively killed it.
I don't want to go back to a noob posting a question and 50 ppl inviting them to join their empire! I just want to see somebody answer the question and at least offer membership to them!!!!
| |
|
I agree with you 100%. Now what was the question you need help with?
Do you want to join GROSS????

It's true. That's how I originally joined the Fellowship. Ray asked me.

Then we're agreed. G.R.O.S.S. members will offer the noobs membership and the rest of the 50 people can stop posting.
