She's a Homemaker Deva here in the states, recently convicted of insider trading or securities fraud or something like that.

One of the benefits of being in GROSS is that we tend to ignore our pirate's side businesses. Renegade picked the right empire for that, obviously. On the other hand, the Guardians have been disposing of Yor sent their way by this criminal mastermind for what seems like ages. Hmmm. What to do?

I could use some of those parts for myself, but since the Age of Greldon reached its zenith, the pickings have been getting pretty slim around here. Well, pirates don't steal from their fellows without darn good reason, so I guess I'll just have to hope Renegade is not through with his dastardly plot quite yet and hope some parts survive the Greldonization process. Afterall, every massacre has its survivors and there are still some junkyards in Guardian space to look in. *Gerakken hauls off a cartload of parts.*

This is obviously a culture thing, but who is Martha Stewart?

People in Britain have never heard of Martha Stewart? Wow, I'm moving over with you guys after I graduate college. She is basically everything that ED descibed her as. Brutally took her company to the top by screwing everybody over, and then got caught. SEC made a point about insider trading by throwing her in prision.

You could start a thread in the Guardian Halls, which could be edited as you go. Theoden could copy it from there to the Guardian website from time to time. You could research the old posts at your leisure, but add new quotes as they happen, more or less. All of this would be entirely at your discretion, of course

I would like to give it a try. I think I should only quote guardians. Short 1 or 2 lines if possible. Humour, wit or wisdom main critera. Game and empire related quotes.

#7929 by Citizen Greldon - 4/12/2004 6:30:10 PM

Take heart, Gerakken. Not all Guardians Greldonize the Yor. I'm certain there will be parts available far into the future. The problem was that the Guardians are so good at what they do, the system couldn't handle the inevitable glut. Thus Emperor Theoden commissioned the development of the Greldonizer. While it's true that I always use this weapon against the Yor, many Guardians, such as Terl for instance, are quite happy to create inventory for you.

Awww, and my occasional glimpses of wit and wisdom get buried forever? But they are in so many threads! I'm hurt. (Just kidding. It was too good of an opportunity to pass up while I was still lurking close by.)

Yes Gerakken, but checking the Meta for all of your quotes would take decades.

It sounds good to me ED. The criteria you specified are perfect!

As the First Knight of the Conclave, I hereby commission exalteddruid as the official "Quote Master" of the Galactic Guardians.

Congratulations ED!

Join the Guardians then, where your occasional wit and wisdom can be chronicled for all time.

Accepted, thus I begin my new journey in service of the Guardians.

Oh! Hey everyone!

#7937 by Citizen Greldon - 4/12/2004 6:49:29 PM

Hi Loth, Bye Loth.

Time to go home...back in a few.

#7938 by Citizen Lothmorg the Black - 4/12/2004 6:55:15 PM

Hi Greldon, Bye Greldon.

#7939 by Citizen Magnumaniac - 4/12/2004 7:32:52 PM

Congrats Exalteddruid - I think you're going to earn these...

Hey, ABT, you're welcome anytime.

It sounds like we should stick to not knowing who Martha Stewart is over here

Please don't send her to us, we're only just recovering from the Bill Clinton "after-dinner speaking tour".

#7940 by Citizen Major Dallas - 4/12/2004 7:34:26 PM

This is obviously a culture thing, but who is Martha Stewart?

Sorry, MagMan--I forgot that this was an "international" news broadcast!

#7941 by Citizen Magnumaniac - 4/12/2004 7:38:06 PM

No problem Major D. "To educate is to enlighten".

I now feel very enlightened!

ED, I'd be glad to nominate the first candidate (if it hasn't already been done). Don't know who it was (and I haven't figured out searching in the threads yet), but about 2 Saturdays ago, one of the Guardians posted that his wife had left mad--presumably because he was once again enthralled in a game of GalCiv. I suggested that he consider buying her flowers and "going for the cultural victory," to which he replied (as best I can remember):

"We believe she has TerrorStar technology and she's not afraid to use it."

That's got to be the funniest thing I've read on these forums so far!

#7943 by Citizen Embird - 4/12/2004 7:45:33 PM

He should sue Stardock, for producing a game known to be addictive.

Maybe they should put warnings on the box.

#7944 by Citizen damoose - 4/12/2004 7:46:43 PM

Converting... Converting... 75 pages ago.

Quoting ones self is in kind of bad taste. However as that is about the only clever thing I have said I might make an exception. I just went back the past 5 pages to get an idea how this job will go. Lot of sand, not many nuggets so far.

#7946 by Citizen Magnumaniac - 4/12/2004 7:58:41 PM

Oh, they're in there - only another 313 pages to go.

#7947 by Veteran the 3rd child - 4/12/2004 8:14:14 PM

Someone should start a collection of the greatest guardian quotes for future reference. So ED, does this mean you accept the position, and what should it be called?

you guys are so into yourselves

#7948 by Veteran Disciple777 - 4/12/2004 8:49:17 PM

Renegade in...

Martha Stewart is the code name used by the mother of many good pirates in the GROSS Empire and other realms, she is like a sacred cow for the pirates, she taugh us how to trade broken pieces of glass and flee market bracelets for gold and precious stones from the inhabitants of the Yor Empire, that is the reason why we protect the Yors, they are our cash-cow and we will not stand aside when our gold producers machines are destroyed for no other reason that they are ugly.

Renegade out!!!

Now lets proceed with our route, full spead ahead into FOTR territory!!!!

#7949 by Citizen Soul Sphere - 4/12/2004 9:04:14 PM

Accepted, thus I begin my new journey in service of the Guardians.

WTG ED, our new quote master!
