My new ship is already built, here is a secret screen shot of it http://www.amapi.net/board/files/falcon1_interceptor_958.jpg Link

It is called "BARTAX" (Kling-on for Bartender where is my soup?) Or sort of, Kling-on sup with live goaul makes a very tasteful delicacy.

I will join your empire with this player if JT accepts my challange. Since it is believed that the Guardians have grown feathers and started laying eggs I have created another player. Most games in 30 days wins. If JT wins I will leave this player in Star Fleet and you can have all of the points. If I win this player will quit Star Fleet and become and Guardian thus increasing the Guardian Empire. Should not be to difficult to figure out who I really am. The question is will the challange be accepted? Or will Star Fleet gain the feathers and loose the respect.

Head to Head. If you want to do different things in the Meta heres your chance.

The Magician is awaiting response...

Grown feathers?!? Laying eggs?!? I (chirp) don't know what you're (squawk) referring to?

...A rather nebulously-phrased challenge. It would make more sense to play for points if BOTH players created secondary characters and dueled it out for the MOST points gained in 30 days, the losing character going to the other side. The points would be more equal that way.
...As it stands one player with 1.5 million points is pitted against another who MIGHT reach 100-200k points in a month, but the wager is simply for number of games. A no-brainer for playing the tiny galaxy game with just one opponent under that format. Can finish one of those in ten minutes.
...Some of us have lives here, and are quite limited in the amount of time available to us for this frivolous pursuit.
...A fair match might be entertaining, but that isn't what has been proposed.

#1331  by Citizen Magician of Black Chaos - 2/12/2005 3:27:58 PM

What is not fair? I proposed a simple challange. If you want to add rules then how about this; Maso only. Huge or gigantic only. Alliance or military victory only. Most points in 30 days. Winner to be decided by a representative of both empires or altmeta stats. "Q" wins the points are yours. I win the points go to GG. Our HONOR will be defended if the challange is acepted. BTW I have a life.

If "Q" wants to make another character then so be it. I will not ask him to. His decision alone. I'd be willing to take on anyone in this empire. One on One. Most points in 30 days. I have not submitted or played under this new profile yet. This player isn't even committed to an empire yet.

The only question remaining is who is going to bark and who is going to bite.

Most points in 30 days.
Maso only.
Military or Alliance victory only.
Raw submitted score by altmeta.

If Q dosen't accept... Who in SF acceptes?

Game On.

Well, there are some problems:
alliance wins are faster than military win. So you should have only one type of win
The size of the galaxy, the number of aliens, if minors are here or not, version played (GC or AP), alignement of Aliens might have an impact on games.



                          
#1333  by Citizen Magician of Black Chaos - 2/12/2005 4:18:20 PM

Right now I am looking to get a response out of Q. Any response. Then we can decide the details...

                    
#1334  by Veteran Cosmic Fox - 2/12/2005 8:24:35 PM

No More talk of not submitting games Mayito! Simply contact Cari or Pat Ford.

Interesting challenge. Not sure the point!

Mayito why are you not using your forums for your screen shots?? We made them for this purpose!

I coulds... but i don't want to wreck my futture scores or empire score with drgrading(aging) scores that won't be followed up with more games.. or hurt my current players score (the ony player i have in the metaverse./... I unlike others have only 1 player so everything i do reflects in my score... If you join you join i have nothing to prove.... I'm standing behind what i said all along that monster emperirs arn't the way to go to bring activity to the metaverse... I've stated this all along... and still do... GalCuard came about by players looking to do just that... same as the Foundation , TBA , ... after the first monster party gotr such a big lead... ppl thought that the only way to combat themis with another monster party... instead of trying to spread the wealth of that empire accross multiple empires... these monter parties have in general poached players from existing empires.. thus inflicting double the damage.. which is why a can't condoneor even respect thrir existance... they go against everything i believe in...

Nothing personal... against any one player... its just the mentality of such a monstar empire IS and always will reak havoc and put ppl off joining other empires as they'll think that why bother...

Why bother ... because it'll show ppl the way the metaverse used to be and can be again...

Isn't this what you are trying to do? Gain players from other empires?

Not certain how you poach a player, is that 3 minutes in boiling water, or 5?

Players do what they want. They join the empires that find confort in and synergy with. I for one, don't enjoy Star Wars themes, so I would proably never join such an empire. Others choose on who the see there, etc. Don't knock and empire just because others joined it an it got big.

           
#1337  by Citizen Rog1156 - 2/13/2005 8:06:37 AM

just have fun with the game. There is more to GC then just how fast you can turn out 60k masso games.

What i think anyways whatever

i don't have time to play. it takes me 12-20 hours for a game closer to 20 for military.

So i won't be posting games anymore at least for a few months, i'm bored with it as it is. to date 13games i have yet to lose a planet to invasion and onlt lost 1 planet to culture way back.

I still want to get AP and try that i should also try some mods i guess, but for now

i quit for now, but i'll be lurking have fun all

                    
#1338  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 2/13/2005 8:53:31 AM

Forget it.... I guess i'm just to stupid ... I can't seem to get accross what i'm trying to say... I'm not picking in any empire in particular... If starfleet was that far ahead i'd even be aking is members to do that ui'm suggesting that the top empre is now .. and what i'm askem them to consider doing... but I just bashing my head against a brisk wall... I'm thinking of the metaverse as a whole... not individual empires... This isn'ty the foirst time qwhich i have tried to discuss thisa... and every time ppl take it personally... So now i'm just going to give up trying to make the metaverse more compedative in nature and fun for all... I'm simply going to play my games .. and play the metaverse.... I'm no longer going to try to do anything except for the advancement of Starfleet... and myself... Like all the other empires out there are doing...and look out if starfleet makes it to number one... cause if someone tries to talk me into doing what i'm perposing now then I'll point them back to this and my prevous messages...

So just go and play and have fun... forget everything i've said... untill someone else brings it up....

I don't know why whenever i brting it up i get trampled down... I give up...


                          
#1339  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 2/13/2005 8:58:27 AM

Rog sorry to hear that GalCic is no longer exciting fr you...If its too easy try playing it at harder levels.. they are definatly more challenging...

mayito888 your ship looks really alien in nature... so write up a story of how you came by it etc.. and aquired it...I was expecting you to pick an existing Starfleret ship from a starfleet site.. Like i chose the Enterpwizw

I'm plugging away here... posted my first game in 3 days ... .. I've been sick and busy with RL and working on a webhosting site... more details about that later...

Enjoy Calciv and the Metaverse


                          
#1340  by Veteran Cosmic Fox - 2/13/2005 9:07:10 AM

Rog1156, I lost interest in the game until I picked up AP. Now I use Icho Tolot Mods and love the game.

JT Qwerk been missing for two days. I wonder if Q had something to do with this?

                      
#1341  by Citizen webnavigator - 2/14/2005 3:53:57 AM

I dunno.... wherever you left it? Perhaps in the hanger bay

#1343  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 2/14/2005 8:23:16 PM

Get well soon... I've just gotten over (still getting over) it myself... (I've Had it now for over a week.. almost 2 weeks)

After Chatting to T-Man (Pat) on Irc the other night

I duno if this is good news or what.. but the metaverse has just got a lot fairer.. T-Man(Pat) has just modified the Aging script so that ALL players are now aged properly (in the comming days.. yes thats how long T-Man says that the script takes to run... that a lot of the inactive players scores will be dropping due to this bug fix).. At leasat now everyone will be treated the same Active players or inactive ones... Which has been a major gripe of mine now for many months...

Thanks T-Man for fixing this....

Still one more problem to fix is the splitting of the good, neutral, evil games.... at the moment its only picking up half the Good / evil games... eg: Caotic or pure not both... Once this gets fixed then the metaverse will finaly work as it was designed in the first place...

I'm hoping that T-Man will get some time to look into this soon... Rest assured that I'll be talking to him about this long standing problem


                          
#1344  by Citizen Magician of Black Chaos - 2/14/2005 8:27:40 PM

JT. Check out the Meta page. Lots of retired players took big hits. I first noticed it about 1200 EST (gmt-5) today. Seems like they finally heard us. Or finally got time to do something about it.

                    
#1345  by Veteran Cosmic Fox - 2/14/2005 10:27:25 PM

Yes, we know this as the Metaverse score aging has been fixed finally. Older players who were inactive will notice their scores lowered by a huge degree.

Its a lot more fair this way I feel.

                      
#1346  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 2/15/2005 12:15:36 AM

I just said that... .... I was chatting with him as he was fixing it about it...

i duno why i bother posting things in here or in the galci8v forum.. cause nobody seems to read fully what i've typed

see my msg just above
#1343 by Veteran J.T.Qwerk - 2/14/2005 8:23:16 PM


                          
#1347  by Citizen webnavigator - 2/15/2005 1:48:26 AM

Well thats most certainly good news.
Heh... but if we submitt games it doesnt mean they will dissapear off of our little list right? like no matter how old they are they will be there, but not counted or something towards the 'active' score..... as they age eh?

                      
#1348  by Citizen Evil Druid - 2/15/2005 4:30:42 AM

Finaly,If you don't mind me saying it again the perfect fix would be the ability to sort out retired players. Anyone who has not posted a game in 30 days. I just want the option to sort them out of the individual and empire scores. I cannot not see how that would be so hard as all the information required to do it is already in the data base. If they want the the meta and the game to continue it should be done. I want to see what the people here now are doing not ancient history.

                          
#1349  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 2/15/2005 5:43:41 AM

Yes... there are things that won't be done .. unfortunatly... unless they get more resources (man power... Time... Money...) to update this Metaverse...

The Good news is with GalCic2 the metaverse is apparently going to be completly re-written... Maybe thats your best hope to see this feature on the Stardock/GalCiv site ... you can always go to www.galcic2.com.. and make suggestions there... and who knows once the metaverse is re-written for GalCiv2 then we may even see some of the sorting / selections flow on down to this Metaverse

I'm very pleased to see that its finaly working better... I know its stil;l not perfect.. but at least we are ALL now on an EVEN , Fair Playing field...
