The hot summer breeze sweeps through Threadzilla's scales as the oversized, candy red dreadnaught zips along the coast.
*BUMP!*
Kitwarrior is stirred from his dreamy hacienda. "What was that?"
"Grrr RRROWRRRrrr...," TZ responds lazily.
Hegetaga glances in the side view mirror while KW adjusts his shades. Squinting into the mirror, HT announces, “looks like you flattened some kind of skunk, TZ.”
“Nah...” KW leans his head back and gazes at the clouds. “I see feathers coming off the hood. Must have been some bird.” He tilts his head and frowns. “Looks like rain clouds. Let’s put the top up.”
“Rrrrowrrrrrr…” TZ flips the switch and the sky folds away...

Hiya Cypher!
We're having an election too - and we're knee deep in the usual rubbish that comes with it at the moment. The latest is that our Treasury Dept (which is required to publically report on the state of the national accounts prior to an election) is reporting a maaasive surplus - generated by massive taxes - so now we're all waiting to see what yummy election spending promises our candidates come up with...which will of course will somehow become impossible to fulfill after they're elected... 
[In best Homer Simpson voice] "Nuanced, eh?"
I doubt there is a politician ALIVE who understands this word applied to public policy...
Is Political Machine any good? I've just got my broadband internet connected at home - wondering whether to get it....
Oh, and the boxed wine thing? As long as you're DRINKING alcohol, you're always welcome here... Actually, I have a worse problem - Mrs. Wombat is no great drinker, so it's just me...I rely on a recorking the bottle...oh the shame...hope Mrs. Pax and the Pax Platoon are doing well!
Hey - and the Wombats (minus children) are going on a one week trip to Japan soon (special birthday present for Mrs. Wombat) - Hurls has already given me great advice from a recent visit. We've just got two nights in Tokyo and then the bullet train to Kyoto for four nights. Any "must sees" or other advice gratefully received!!
Cheers everybody!!

Heh, I'm actually going to Europe myself in a few weeks, and the plane just happens to stop at Tokyo for a couple days 
| |
|
|
|
Weyr, it's a loooooong way to anywhere from Australia! Japan is one of our easier stops - about 10 hours flight time; Europe and North America are around 24 hours flight time....

Lots of things have happened since january .
I would say that the more important is the release of AP which allows 60K victory with different settings. Gigantic maso military is no longer the only option to score 60K with AP 1.51. Alliance victory in january 2190 is now a viable way to score 60K. And multiple times in a day if some has enough free time
BTW, since your score have been recalculated (you have now 433K), you shouldn't experience a big drop when submitting new games.
And some tweaks has been made since Galciv 1.13. The most important are linked with starbases: the influence bonus is no longer multiplied when having multiple starbases in the same sector. And if money is needed to create/enhance a starbase, you must have it in your treasury.

Fondly, congratulations on the little one. Good work! 
| |
|
| Good to see Stardock are still so commited along with thier unique community to this awsome game! What have I missed? |
|
As it happens I released a news update yesterday called the Metatverse RAG. Check it out here  Link
| |

Don't worry, we wouldn't forget you!
Another thing that seems to have happened is that everyone in the Special Forces has retired from playing GalCiv. Surprising how many people there are on this page, considering.

Hi Ginata!! Congrats on Liam's arrival - hope you, bub and the rest of the family are doing well! Thanks for taking the time to stop by - as you can see, you're missed, and not least by your Emperor! If I remember rightly, contributing a new Metaverse member grants you an automatic 2 million point bonus, so you're ack at the top!
CONGRATS!!!

Thanks for the well wishes folks . . . Matt, Evil, Wombat, Newfy, Phoenix um (I'm sure I knew you in a previous incarnation? didn't I?), Icho, Quack and Kit.
A big X and O to you all!
Motherhood is fun, I don't need sleep, really it's true . . .
Um, I have to admit ehrm . . . I have utterly forgoten how to play galciv! Its a first person shooter upper sci-fi X-box game based on Tolkien, right? Oh dear . . . whats this CD for? Music?
I recall there being like this giant chicken, Mmm chicken . . . um, sorry I digress. And also there was some fella with an ear-ring and tatoo who knew a secret about something important . . . perhaps?
Oh and yes there were these guys called EBZMatrix and Poitus (or something similar) and lots of Pirates, yes I definately remember the Pirates.
In my mind I also strangely recall charecters from the Lord of the Rings movies often appearing in the game with little explaination . . .
Was it all just a crazy dream?
