And at that point, I personally, would have wrote the response "yeah, it was a typo, I meant my highest" and enjoy the fact people couldn't see my red face.

Yes.

i hit 200k a few weeks ago on a game i was "taking easy". i'm hoping the one i have in the works will break 500k, but it's a maso so we'll see. i'm definately stepping up to suicidal next game.

Don't worry about it Seth, I know it must have felt awesome for a moment, and I for one am impressed you owned your mistake. A beer for you!

I don't know how my ToE brothers feel about helping out Geckodons, you do after all compete for the same prey species, just as the Kzinti, but in TA my advice is speed, speed, speed in the colony rush. I don't mean ship speed either, I mean grab planets as fast as possible and grab resources even faster. If your economy doesn't melt down repeatedly then you aren't doing it right. Most of us tend to play cautiously when learning a game, but I like GalCiv TA because it adheres to the dictum of war, "get there the fastest with the mostest". Over the last two months I've gone from initially scoring 35,000 to doing quite a bit better mainly by paying attention to Mumblefratz. He has some excellent advice on these forums. I don't do his starbase array, but read what he has to say about how the score is calculated and then think how you might modify your game play to really rack up the points.

Quite ok actually. DA, Motti and myself all have characters in the Gecko's trying to keep young Seth going.

Just to be clear Seth, and you should know me well enough by now, i wasn't having a dig at you mate, just having a laugh.

I will never forget how good i felt getting 70K in an abundant all giga on DL many eyars ago.

We all have done silly things mate.

Yes I know you guys were having a laugh. Anyways I think that my score will increase every time I play an MV game.

Thats the way mate. I'm sure it will too.

Next aim for 200K, that is nothing to sneeze at under any game parameters.

Neilo.......... i forgot to mention shrewd

i'm both flattered and tempted, but conscious won't allow me, even in the slightest way, to offend KP......  unlike clanlindsey, i require sleep.  what i can and will do, is keep a dead soldier slot open, out of respect for the ToE

Seth......you don't seem to be having a good day.  well, mama said there would be day's like this, just not so damn many of 'em.  

i hate to add to your burden, but i must decline your offer.  with two slots engaged, i have only one left.  any general worth his salt, will keep forces in reserve until the decisive blow.  my troops are committed.

btw:  if you don't make mistakes, your not trying.   you're exuberence helps old fkrs like me stay young.

Hello

Ok , this is font 12 and I will use it from now on. Being a newbie, I'm just glad that everybody is so helpful. I have a question, How do you make a banner and is it  linkable? Please tell me step by step.

@Seth,  you are not  having a bad day. I am.   I have no people in My empire, I haven't broken 100,000 point score yet, good I am, always being attack by greater numbers,

Oh and I am blonde too.

Watch out Gmoonii....Yet another thing that will bother Dys....

A banner can be anything you like really. Download Gimp (it's free) and try some of the banner create tools in there.

To make your image linkable it's much the same code as to show an image but with the following added....

{link="web address of page/site you want to link to"}{img}hosting path of your image for your banner.png{/img}{/link}*

Yellow is path to the image, red is path to the site/page you wish to link.

* Replace all { } with [ ].

Hope that helps mate.

bumping to get the page to show.

@Jacklv...No worries mate. I can respect your thought process, no matter how much your loyalty is misplaced!!!

LAMO!

Well, my latest game blows big time. I don't know why I got a lower score than last time.

Still they are great scores Seth. You've come a long way... and passed me by.
