DEATH TO FRAKTARDS! That's one hell of a motto. That will be our unofficial one as kryo might have a problem with that as an official motto. And, gods forbid, a diplomat decides to whisper in his ear about our uncivilized behavior and the indisputable fact that "Wheeloffire has no redeeming value"/"wof is an a$$." Welcome to the Empire of Standards, Mistralok. GW, thi
What are your thoughts on the political process? After what I read in the core, I did have to warn people against hijacking the thread. No manifesto here. Considering our pace of posted games, each passing day is certainly mocking the scoring machines. We have 4 games and we're ranked 73. That's amusing.
I know the whole piracy!=stealing mantra. However, let's go all the way on blowing up my otherwise irrelevant comment: If Stardock commissions a privateer to get code by any means necessary, that would be stealing and a host of other crimes. What was the point of being Random Zealot again? I missed it.
wouldn't that make him a privateer in SD's eyes? Only if they were paying him to steal the software of competitors.
Welcome to the meeting area. Write whatever you want. Everyone is armed. This isn't a metaverse scoring machine but members consider the Metaverse important as a way of separating actual players from potential cheaters. This objective statement would be nice if it was the whole story but it isn't... There are a few members of the community with terminal cranio-rectal inversion. They see the world in black and white. They squirt themselves with visions of being a Jedi of th
Wow. I've thought precisely nothing about GC2 for a few months now. Looks like I left some scarred people in my wake. Glad to be such an issue for you that more traditional issues didn't pop up _at_all_. So, in the world of Galactic Civilizations and it's fans, you're dealing with a very progressive group--good and "evil." Rock on. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/
HOBOKEN, Feb 7 (Reuters Life!) - Linguists rejoice: U.S. researchers have found that speaking Pig Latin is actually good for your vocal cords, and despite all those dire warnings from your parents, it won't make people think that you're a terminal fraktard. A study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology showed that people who speak in Pig Latin for a few hours a day over the course of a month improved their "happy fun factor" by about 20 percent. "Speaking in Pig Latin c
Ok... first time back in awhile. Swicord, congratulations on your first metaverse game. You're a credit to the Empire. Evil, glad you're still around. To everyone in this thread that is either (a) an illiterate fraktard or (b) an illiterate fraktard apologist, you have no excuse: contemplate exiting any reality we might share by any means necessary.
Grammar Nazis: I don't think they have a proper place on this forum, or on almost any forum. I've never seen a single person suddenly go from inability to write properly to fully educated eloquence because someone corrected them on a forum. If you go about correcting someone's grammar or spelling, you're probably just going to offend them, if anything. <br
I'm with the OP. It's amusing. All your base are belongs to Yor.
Preventing any post with the characters "anonymous" from entering the database should do the trick. Let them spam all day if it doesn't get into the forum. There is no human monitoring it for counter measures.
I work in the nonprofit sector... the upside is that there are a LOT of good people with piles of money that want to help make the world a better place. Gates is one of those people. When we talk about computer industry practices, Gates is evil. He bases his practices on Go and game theory in general. People who lose the games he sets up are, not surprisingly, upset. However, when it comes to human welfare, the man has big ideas and the money to make them work. He's doing w
You know you've been warned (multiple times). You can either take the advice you've been given, or you can find out just how far (or not) you can push before you get 'pushed' in return. And I'll tell you, it's not very far now at all. I get pushed all the time. It's not like people aren't trying. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smi

Who's really the 'troll' here? The dude who thinks that demolishing resource bases has some kind of rationale beyond being a bug. You.
the real reason that you're still in this forum is that those that make such decisions are far more tolerant of others than you seem to be. I would suggest that their tolerance is not infinite and you make good use of the second chance it seems you’ve been given. I know you have a fantasy where the developers discuss, "what are we going to do abo
It is because you jkeep posting on other threads and have disregarded the warning issued against you. The only thing asked from you is to behave and respect other players. You have any evidence of that? If kryo has a problem with me, I'm certain he won't hesitate to tell me about it. Has it ever occurred to you that I'm still in this forum beca
This game has some very realistic political situations which pretty much mirror our past, current, and future events in one shape or another. The way in which we "rule our empire" in this game is based on what our beliefs are, and those beliefs are/were formed by our political/religious/capitalistic influences and upbringing. This game has surpr
Well, Mr. Mayito, (edited) This thread has been dead for over a week. Kryo took care of justice with a warning. Why you are digging it up again is beyond me.
One post makes you smaller One post makes you tall And the ones where you're called a fraktard Don't mean anything at all Brilliant Jefferson Airplane/Alice in Wonderland reference. Now... conspiracy theory time. Gw's grammar Nazi thread seems to have disappeared. It's the _only_ page not working for me. Go here:<

Are we really going to start calling AI inefficiencies 'bugs' now? No, but with a few more inane comments like that, we'll start calling you a troll. The AI is running a check that results in decommissioning a base that gives it important bonuses and doesn't cost any money to maintain. That's not an "inefficiency." That is a serious bu
True. It can backfire but, like racing to planetary invasion, you can race to advanced trade and at least take some players out of commission. The AI won't trade for lesser technology in addition to not researching lesser technology.
There's the wiki and there's actually visiting the place. There are two gigantic ovens at Dachau. Given what the conditions were when the Americans found it, I doubt the ovens were for baking cookies. Dachau was the experimental camp. Before something went to all camps, it was tried in Dachau first.
The AI doesn't research lesser technologies if it already has greater ones. Until the developers fix it, it's fair game. Research trade Research advanced trade Give advanced trade to everyone without trade Screw everybody that took the bait.
Correct. This goes beyond "no tech trading" into the realm of "nobody can make money except for me."
Not all concentration camps were dedicated death camps. In fact there were only six of those: Auschwitz-Birkenau,,Belzec,,Chelmno,,Majdanek,,Sobibor and Treblinka. And Dachau? Maybe 7?
