The Fate of the Jotoki in AARs GalCiv2 Forums

This story is set in the Known Space universe, which was created by sci-fi writer Larry Niven. It is an account of how the Kzinti became a star-traveling civilization. There was a space-faring species call the Jotoki, who dreamed of creating a star-spanning empire. They were a very inventive and curious species, who learned quickly and rose from primitive beginnings to the grandeur of interstellar travel. They were particularly skilled in the technologies of gravity polarization

[quote]Our most recent round for instance, Metaverse League Round 4 had one very interesting outcome along these very lines that prompted me to write this.

[quote]this could reflect fore-thinking on part of several teams; while changing the rule for future rounds is a matter of debate, i'm not sure if you're suggesting that it be changed now, for this round's scoring. i wouldn't agree with that.

[quote]Nor do i Kzinti, there would be few different ways one could get around what is essential a small problem. But further more are we debating an issue that is not relevant, if no one is playing other games with their MVL character then the issue is mute. so i ask, how many players actually use their MVL character for other games?

Reply to The MVL and the AltMeta in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

Here's how I would vote on the three points: 1. Yes 2. No - especially bad idea 3. No The first two I explained in previous posts, and the third I don't like it because the MVL should not negatively impact how you play the game the rest of the time, by limiting your options. This is not an issue for me personally, because I never really play settings similar to those I have played in the MVL (which is one reason I like it), but for some players it might be a
