and they were still present in the diplo screen because there was that last lingering vestige of them polluting the galaxy?

I think it's more of a matter of the game taking a few turns to recalc...I seem to recall it taking four turns in one game, and the whole time our ships were still fighting until the fifth turn when everything Yor simply disapeared.

That game was where he perfected the infamous "mud-and-tape" offense, whereby his enemies were literally up against the wall!

littlewotts, I just noticed your medal for "wounded in actionm" and it's one that I'm not familiar with. What does that denote?

You get it for submitting 5 losses

#6379 by Citizen Matthew Downie - 4/2/2004 1:42:47 PM

I hear you get a brilliant easter egg if you submit a hundred losses.

How does that effect your Metaverse scoring? In other words, are there any negatives to doing that?

#6381 by Veteran Disciple777 - 4/2/2004 1:52:58 PM

Yes, it goes again your record.

#6382 by Veteran Terl - 4/2/2004 1:57:05 PM

Yes, which is why most people do not submit losses.

Has anyone heard from Lothmorg? It's not like him to not visit the forums for this long period of time. He also hasn't posted a game since Wednesday night. Very strange.

No but I have noticed he has been around less the last couple days. Maybe work is catching up. As for the games, I am surprised.

Were number 1. (Just like to say that) Refinished and resubmitted that game I posted about yesterday and increase my score by 2000 by going from alliance to military victory. I then played another game last night and finished in under 3 hours. That was the 1st time I have managed to do that so am very happy. Really starting to get a feel for the game now

#6386 by Citizen Greldon - 4/2/2004 3:53:31 PM

That's the thing that has me worried. I know how bad he wants the gold, and for him to not submit a single game in two days is really weird. That hasn't happened since he came back while we were all still in FotR.

#6387 by Citizen Magnumaniac - 4/2/2004 3:53:50 PM

WTG ED.

Once it clicks, there's no stopping you

#6388 by Citizen Evil Druid - 4/2/2004 3:55:03 PM

Hope he's just saving them up for a big BOOM assualt on the top.

#6389 by Citizen Greldon - 4/2/2004 3:59:10 PM

Very Nice, ED!!!

Enlightenment is fun!

Well he was around the forums yesterday. ED could be right - he's got a whole bunch of bombs stored on his laptop and he's going to jump from 4th to 1st in one hit

I think you need to get some more games in Greldon to increase that lead - I mean, I'm less than 900,000 points behind you now

Congratulations to, well, to everyone who's done something that deserves congratulations since the last time I contratulated in this thread. That's probably all of you.

And special congratulations for taking the top spot!

Magnum, you may be right.....he's probably got around fifty games saved.....he'll slaughter me....maybe I should just quit....I don't stand a chance against such evil....NOT!

An addendum to the 2190 game date thing: for those rare birds who still submit culture victories (and it seems I am nearly the only one left to do so at times), that is the minimum year that such a victory is possible.

So such is the way of the Meta: finish too early, get half off. Submit a tech victory, also get half off. Throw in a culture win, take about a third off. Alliance is also a discount, take 1/5 or so off. But get full price on artificially forced military victories!

I always wondered why if the powers-that-be truly wanted a Metaverse that reflected all sorts of victories and circumstances so they could improve their game and refine tactics it would turn out to favor people who are earning more points manufacturing only one or two types of the four possible wins. It is a sad legacy us old timers carry: we helped create the Masoverse each in our own ways by action or inaction, and it will never get fixed for Galciv I. Maybe the concept will be refined in a later Galciv incarnation, but the one we got will most likely stay the Masoverse forever.

I'm inclined to agree. Change seems doubtful.

#6396 by Citizen Matthew Downie - 4/2/2004 4:24:58 PM

Change must come from within.

Damn that hotdog vendor!
