Theoden, thank you very much! I (and I'm sure I speak for 'we') really appreciate your work on the website--particularly considering that intrusive RL thing that keeps getting in the way of GalCiv time! (Speaking of RL, any follow-up word from the interview?)

Thanks, Greldon. In my time zone it was 6, but 2 rolled over to today (you know, Galactic Metaverse Time and all that  ), but now I guess I've got a 2-game head start on today's count, eh? (Cover your ears GH, you weren't supposed to hear that!)

I have see a funny thing: few hours ago, Lothmorg wasn't in the alt meta. And he is now back. Any clue on what happened?

You are all cordially invited to participate in the crowning of Lord SPAM (AKA The Renegade) as Honorary Spammer of the Guardians Empire.
This celebration will take place in the Greldon's private ranch at the foothills of Greldon Mountain National Park in Greldon County, 55 miles North of Greldonsburg.
So all the Guardians are invited to this unique event.!!!!

Nice to see you back Terl.  As you can see, things haven't changed much.

| I've just been quite busy with work lately. |

I know.... they just don't understand the importance of protecting the galaxy from the walking toasters.

Terl, great to see you! Missed you, missed your creative writing, and missed you! (Not unlike "spam, eggs, and spam," I suppose. Wait a minute, now that makes it sound like I'm comparing you to spam! Not my intent! Well, the rule of analogies is that every analogy breaks down at some point--mine just broke down very early!)
[Insert more blubbering like an idiot here.]
It's great to see you!

ED, I knew I was going to get in trouble with you, but I just couldn't help myself! Every time I turned around there were more Yor, and my Guardian instincts kicked in and, well, there you have it! (I could make some asinine mother-in-law jokes, but the truth is I have a great mother-in-law!)
Truth is, was having a blast, and got on a roll! Kind of, "in the flow," if you know what I mean. Want to try something different today, playing around with the other victory conditions, but attempting a 60K with each. (While over at the Senate Halls--shining my Top 100 medal--I noticed that the Guardians have a medal gathering at least one of each of the victory types. Thought it would be cool to play with that! We'll see.)
[Edit: Do you have any idea how long it took me to find 'asinine' in the dictionary?! I was expecting two s's, an 'a' instead of the first 'i', and so forth. Man, it's a great word but like so many others it doesn't exactly spell easily!]

Well, I guess I'll just have the rest then! (Morning, Alex!)

Glad to see Terl is back with his sour attitude as usual but not even that is going to spoil my short lived glory as Spammer number one!!!
Bye Terl.

Good luck... I think a cultural 60K would be possible on a gigantic map (not gonna try it myself until I've got the new PC built, as gig's take forever), but you'll be hard pressed to get 60K from a tech win.
Well I'm out the door for the day - mucho beero courtesy of Hewlett Packard in store for tonight. 
Please don't shout tomorrow morning, I may be a little on the fragile side.

At least we can rest assured that the spam isn't recycled Yor--I had to pick a few feathers out of mine this morning.
Say, anyone seen Renegade's parrot lately?
On a serious note (boy, am I ever gonna get in trouble for introducing a serious note!), got a few questions about the alternate victory conditions. I've already got a few military and alliance victories under my belt. And cultural seems obvious to me (since I used the cultural-turned-off, culture-flipping strategy to get one or two of my early military victories). But I'm wondering how to achieve Beyond Human without accidentally flipping all of my opponents? I don't believe you can turn off military, so do you end up having to 'gift' planets to one remaining opponent until you have completed the tech tree?

Thanks, Terl! And I forgot to ask my other question: is it possible to score 60K on cultural and Beyond Human victory conditions, and if so what needs to be true (e.g., gigantic, maso, all/most wonders, et cetera)?

Ed, thanks! Not certain how I missed that one, but I did.

Well if all the good names were gone and you had to name yourself after John Travolta's character, (who ended up being responsible for the death of his homeworld and locked up in fort knox) in one of the worst Sci-fi movies ever (Battlefield, Earth) well then you might understand Terl's bitterness. Just admitting I watched it gives me a sour attitude.
| Danged pirate restaurants! All they ever have is spam, and the cooks never retire though they say they do |

Perhaps next time, you should order the Arcean Ribs, The Korx etouffe, or the Torianescargot. Or if you hit the fast food joint, the KFD, or the McDrath sandwich. Here's a buy one get one Free Coupon. That's right, with the purchase of 10 entres, if you buy one more, you get one free. Such a deal.
