BlueSteel, I find the whole thing of monthly calculations bizarre. I just realised my new month had started when I posted my last game and my score went up by the full amount of the game. Cool when it happens.

Cotal: take care.

You are obviously a member of the inferior sex.

?

I am too! I need a superior to guide me. Any volunteers?

Cotal

Congratulations on all the good games and 100k mark. Sorry you need to travel. Hope all goes well and you make it back to the Gal Civ community soon.

History of the Metaverse Part 2

Found in the Anzac Archives under heading
The Day the earth exploded


After Mankinds initial discovery of the hyperdrive, the United Planets saw that this would ruin their monopoly on the trade routes and that they would no longer be able to infoecr trade embargo's on specific empires. They (unknown to the humans) held a UP meeting, and a resolution was put forward.

Suggested propesition 10032: The Genoside of the culture that call themselves Humans.
Let it be entered into the UP recoeds that the dreign have expressed their views that the humans are a threat to the stability of the Metaverse and that something has to be done to stop them and their recklessness.

Dreign:
Yes and the sooner the better... we must exterminate them..
I call for a vote..

they took a secret balad.. and luckily for the humans it came back as a no vote. and the motion was carried and tabled

When the dreign found out the result they stoped their transmittioin to the UP meeting. Everyone was uneasy as the new technology took hold and became widly spread

Many new empires were found. Including the reingworms,GROSS,the Jedi just to name a few.

Meenwile the dreign were still convinced that the humans had to be exterminated and set out by themselves to accomplish the task.

They launched a doomstar and sent it hurtaling towards earth .

Time passed and on earth (unaware what was comming their way) there was a huge debate going on as to just who would represent earth in the UP council. The Canadians, Eruopians, Japanese, French, Americans, Australians and many other nations thought that they should be earths representative culture and there were many small wars using different technologies to try to intimidate and or iliminate erivals to the task. none of which did very much as they all knew that each other had the same or similar weapons of mass distruction and that any major scurmish would result in the destruction of their home planet, no one wanted this because then there would be no humans around to reep in the great treasures and riches of the Metaverse. It was imperative however to get their share of the riches in abundance then they would need a representative on the council of the united planets.

10 years passed . Earth was no closer to choosing their representative.. Then the Astronomers of earth found a new huge commet heading for earth, It looked like a normal commet but acted differently.. instead of speading up as it got nearer to the sun it was slowing down. It would be close to earth in 2 days. it apeared from nowherehow could they have missed csomething this big entering the Solar System. Thoughts went back to the days of the dinasours and how they were exterminated with an asteroid hitting the earth.

It had been known for over a centuary that this is realy possible and the scars (creaters) on mars,jupiter,saturn bore this theory to be true. So many of the human civilizations had built massive artificial atmosphears.

Then on the day prior to the comet reaching eatrhs gravitational pull the commet appeared to shatter.. many meteors rained through the earths atmosphere causing great distruction and major tidle wayes,earthquakes and volcanic activity.. It was only then that the astronomers realised the trueth.. It wasn't a commet.. but a huge space craft that had taken many years to get to earth and whos size had generated enough gravitational force to attrace many smaller space debries to its surface, thus making it appear to be a commet. the commets tail was actually the exhaust from the massive propultion system.

the humans had been so concerned about who would represent them in the UP council that it hadn't occured to them that anyone would be out to invade them. Now they began to suspect that the Metaverse was not all that friendly and that they had not setup and defence against such an attack... Sheesh What could defend us against something like this.. its massive.. larger than our moon.

On all of the earths broadcasting systems came a transmission.. It looked like a creature that should have been in a zoo, no one could understand what it was trying to say.. then on the screens came something that looked likea test pattern with a rotating arm.. as it rotated lights were disapearing from around the edges. Many of the earths populations fearing the worst asctivated all that they could to try to protect themselves including the artificial gravity and atmosphear systems that had helped reduse damage to their section of earth.

Many scientests noticed that the earth was actually expanding.. that the continental plates were all shifting apart..

Then it Happened.. A bright flash originating from the spacecraft. Scientests tracked where it hit the earth.. it was.. was.. {gulp} right deep inside the san andraus fault.
there was silence for a second prior as the after shock.. all unprotected sections of the earth were imediatly incinerated.. before anyone knew it the earth exploded sending pieces of our humble planet in all directions at different speeds and sizes.

There was no more planet earth... The dreign were happy and congradulated themselves on a job well done.

To cover their backs the dreign imediatly contacted the UP council. and informed them that the planet called earth simply tore apart . That they had sent an envoy to communicate to the earthlings and that the planet couldn't stand the gravitational pull of their craft. They attempted to fein inoscence.. but the UP knew what must have happened.. but they had no proof. The Dreign were fined 1,000,000bc and it was put into a fund to help locate any survuvors (even though they all knew that there couldn't be any.. it was a way to punish the dreign and replenish the UP's treasury since the losses they had been incurring since the invention of hyperdrive)

Time passed.. everyone thought that there were no more humans..

however.. on small fragments of earth civilizations survived.. each thinking that they were the sole survivors of the catasrtophy that had struck their beloved planet earth. Each called their section of earth "Earth" to honour their home planet. many years passed and many civilizations found PQ15 planets in which to transfer their civilizations to.. and start afresh.

Among those found so far are the ANZACS,the Europians,The canadians, and a few others but not all civilizations have survived.. but more are being found as the metaverse gets explored.

The humans that survived have found many other civilizations out there .. some that believe in magic as opposed to technology.. and a type of religeon that believes that there is one mighty force that governs everything, even another that is helf in order by the power of a ring, the ring that binds and rules many other rings.. Pirates.. Mercenaries and many other new strange beings..

Upon finding these remenants of the earth species called humans the UP decided that each deserves a representative on the coulcil in their own right. 1` for surviving the catastrophy.. and 2 because they each had gone their own way and re-colonized planets on their own as opposed to uniting together ...

So it has been recorded and remembered how the humans entered into the metaverse.

love ya typos, blue! you az taken away my glory, for i iz writing part 2 of rendezvous at kalorama.

This one goes out to you cotal, says evil doin' his best bazza white impersonation

Rendezvous at Kalorama

A Quinn-Martin Production

Act One


Delicate hands smoothed and smothered Pontius, teased his heart into a Burundi beat, hammering out of time. His body churned, his stomach burned, his skin tightened like wet leather in the sun. All this industry, this pressure, the omega machine running after the valve has blown, heat, all heat, produced a single diamond tear in the corner of his dusted eye. He knew it was his time to…….

MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The SS Southern Seas spat out of hyperspace and slid to a silent halt. Sector 3, 4. The Kalorama System.

The Pirates stared. Then they looked. Then they got a bit restless. Then they had a scratch in unseemly places.

“There!” hissed the old crone, pointing the bone again.

The Pirates stared. A familiar hulking shape loomed from the darkness. The ANZAC.

“Bugger me!” roared Killa passionately, “when’s the last time any of you lot swabbed the window?”

Wombat stared at the console. All this folding space here, warping there had given him a rotten migraine. Never mind the tinderloo in his guts. He winced with foreboding. “The gravity’s all over the place. Can’t place a finger on it. It’s like it’s the ANZAC but it’s not.”

The other Pirates nodded sagely. They knew that a thousand of years of civilisation had coalesced in Wombat’s innate and detailed ability to comprehensively read any situation.

“I’m going for a visit”, grimaced Wombat, rising rapidly.

Jaws paled. He’d been tinkering, like any good ANZAC, with the state-of –the-art BeHolden gravity mastering in the little pirate’s room. His sweaty hands tightened around the tiny piece that clearly the intricately balanced machine never needed in the first place.

Wombat slammed the tri-strontium door shut with a clang. Outside, the hastily scrawled warning sign fluttered to the floor:

BEWARE: SWIMMING WITH SPACE SHARKS

Wombat’s screams echoed through the Southern Seas.

TSSSST.

The pirates cracked some cans and sat back.

“No point in rushing anything, hey”, drawled Quack laconically.

“But it be the ANZAC,” hissed the old crone, trying desperately hard to get down to the Pirates’ level, “are ye not curious?”

“She’s not going anywhere”, drawled Killa laconically.
“You’re not wrong”, drawled Jaws laconically.
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” drawled Wombat laconically, but with a hint of irony.

POP.

Out in the blackness, the SS Secret Agent slid to a halt.

POP

The SS Spymaster slid to a halt.

POP

The SS Tour de Force slid to a halt

FLAP FLAP FLAP

Bakka really hated that he was the only one still using solar sails. He made a mental note to move to an empire with more cash.

Wombat was on his feet in a flash. “Right boys!” he roared instinctively. “I was thinkin’ of leavin’ this motley crew to do some soul-searchin’ about competitive scoring systems, but you know what?”

“What?” roared the pirates, suddenly on their feet with their cans raised.

“ Who cares? Win!” roared Wombat triumphantly.

“Huzzah!” roared the pirates, as they all simultaneously emptied their cans and slammed them on the deck.

Wombat flicked his squashed can into the air and into the hand of the old crone.

The old crone grasped the metal disc. Suddenly there was no old crone.

FLASH

An elf-maiden stood before the pirates. Her gold threads shimmered and draped and caressed her beauty. The pirates simultaneously sat down and stood to attention.

“My name is Meningocotal”, she beamed gorgeously, “but you boys can call me Cotal.”

Wombat averted his gaze to the console. His wallet was as a hard as a broomstick and it was aching for a spend. “Strewth!” he gasped heroically, “the ANZAC is making a series of coordinated movements!”

Everyone turned and stared at the incoming message:

YOUR ANZAC ESPIONAGE LEVEL IS NOW MEDIUM

for you blue

thanx for the comments all!

just in case:

TAKE THE BLUE PILL BAKKA!

Steve,

GROSS / POSS (can't remember who it was) Gave the name A.A.S. to the "Anzac's Space Ship" and through out golippili the ASS(mule,donkey,JackASS) was used to help carry the injured from the front line through the valleys back to the medical centers.

So now the Anzacs Space ship proudly bears the name A.S.S.

so i can still call it the ANZAC? (as in ANZAC Space Ship) or shall i just call it the ASS. I can't call it the ASS Space Ship, cos people will think i have a hissing problem...
