I'm starting to blame the Altarians for a lot of stuff. I think that they are humans genetically mutated by the Yor...

I'm repeating a question that I asked a few pages ago, and if somebody already answered it I apologize for missing it. I had a system's morale go fairly low and a skull-and-crossbones icon appeared (top right corner of the system, on the galaxy map). I boosted the morale back up to 100 and kept it there for awhile, even wiped out the only other system in that area that belong to someone with a higher influence rating--but I could never get that icon to go away. What does the icon mean and what can you do about it?

The icon means that the system is in danger of "flipping" and joining another empire. Usually, eliminating the other culture's influence and keeping morale up above 50 are enough to hold on to it, but I don't know if the symbol ever goes completly away. Perhaps others here can advise further?
PS: If the planet is doomed to join the other empire anyway, consider getting all the pop off of it, destroying all the improvements and giving it as a gift to another empire and let them fight over it - depending on map placement and value to your position of course...

| a payback is well deserved |
|
I'm on it.

The symbol never goes away. You can get it to go away by letting the planet flip, then flip it back.

Thanks, Greldon and GH. (I even tried using some white-out to cover it up, but the darned system kept moving around on my screen.  Now I suppose I'm going to have to clean my screen as well. Of course, I blame the Yor for that  and will commence payback forthwith!)

| Go get 'em, LW! You'd think they'd know better than to use chemical weapons on a Guardian! |
|
Now we've done it! The Guardians are now invading Yor space to search for chemical WMDs!
| |
|
| G'day on y'all! (A phrase born of a tragic accident in which an Aussie ran head-on into a Southerner. The details are too horrendous to repeat here.) |

Im an Aussie

MC, I know. (No offense intended. I hope my attempt at humor wasn't lost. Misunderstandings often occur in posts because the wrong emoticon is used or the 'tone' is not conveyed properly. I wrote off-the-top-of-my-head, saw that I had combined Aussie- and Southern-speak, and decided to make a joke of it.)
I hope to visit Australia someday. Two of the greatest weeks of my life were spent drinking with 5 New Zealanders who were on university holiday, while we were still in session! Those guys were professional drinkers, I'll tell you--and it was a mistake on my part to try and keep up with them. But like I said, those were two of the best weeks of my life!

| Well they're certainly not on Geta IV...okay, Geta IV is space dust now, but there aren't any WMDs in the dust cloud....no, just dust! |
|
Quick, check Epsilon III next...

Sorry, I used a core detonation and destroyed all the improvements.

Well, no WMDs there (at least not anymore...)

No offense taking Major D what so ever. I didn't even see it as offensive and dont see a need for any apology. But on the subject of offensive posts, some of the stuff I come up with here is on the brink of offensive sometimes, most times Im just trying to get a laugh out of greldon whoever that is, some guy who likes stories I heard?.

I got reprimanded for some of my postings over at the senate hall. Oops.

"Sir?"
"What is it Lieutenant?"
"Sir, we've searched through the debris field but so far have found no WMDs. Although..."
"Spit it out, man! I haven't got all day!"
"We are finding small, oblong-shaped cans."
"Small cans, Lieutenant? How could they have possibly survived the Greldonization blast? That's inconceivable!"
"Yes sir. Quite. They're fairly charred from the blast. They appear to have been labeled 'PAM'."
"'PAM'? Have the Research Centers looked into this?"
"Yes sir, they placed one in a containment field and opened it. It appeared to contain some sort of meat by-product. Since it had Yorian origins, our Scientists are--how can I say this--squeamish, about what it may be. They're continuing their investigations now, Sir."
"Carry on, Lieutenant. And keep me posted on any new developments."

I just took 2nd position in the Average Score behind Loth in the Metaverse, and regained my nice pure good smiley(which is a disguise for the pure, pure evil smiley).

Woo Hoo! 
Wow! Just checked it. Guardians hold the top 3 and 4 of the top 6 there!
