I'm here.  I check in once a year whether I need to or not.     

I'm actually in the process of reinstalled GC2....but i wont be setting the world on fire with scores...i'll be playing mostly modded games....

Hiya. been quite a while since I last checked the galciv forum or even played the game.

But recently - for whatever reason - I installed the game again and might play one or another game again. Used to be fun. Couldn't believe it was 2007 when I played the game actively....how time flies. OMG.

All the splendid evilness that once was....the good ol'times of slave whipping and stuff.

Another 4 years gone by already.

*poof

I submitted a game a few weeks ago [e digicons]:karma:[/e]

Just poking my ugly head in to see how the Tyranny is doing.

Too many ghosts, not enough live people.

There is life after all! Now there ^ are a few names i haven't heard from for a while, Embird, Herodias, hope all is well with you both!

Stop putting yourself down Seth..you do that on FB too... If the world is taking a liking to you, you know what i say, Fuck you world!

I shall try and start a game today, it wont me a mumbler or anything, ill prolly play on obscene, and i'll colonize as well, unless i get hit up for some SC2

Mumble, you heard from DA at all? I havent heard from him since September last year, i hope all is well, i knew he was a having a heard time.

I sent him a couple emails and I didn't get any direct response but he did actually create an account over at www.ibprobattle.com but then he never really showed up and his account got "pruned".

Last email I sent him was in February this year but I didn't get a response. I assume you have his email, if not PM me and I'll give it to you.

P.S. Embird, Hope all is well with you and Vulcan.

I do have his email, ty, and i email him about once per month, but like you i get no response. I see on Battle.net he was active about 8 weeks ago, and knowing how into SC2 he was, i'd say he has lost his net connection. If you do hear from him at all, let me know mate, and i'll do likewise.

You lurking Motti? I got heaps of time now mate, if your still running Demigod games, let me know mate!

hey,

can you tell me if there are still any GC2 metaverse games going on lately ?

There are metaverse games being submitted every day. Not as much as there used to be but there's still plenty of activity.

You perhaps may not be understanding what a metaverse game is. A metaverse game is still a single player game but it's essentially a "ranked" game that get's listed in what amounts to a high score list, both in the Stardock supported Metaverse as well as an alternate metaverse AltMeta which was designed and is maintained by Kryo. The difference between the two is primarily in how cumulative games are scored over time and both are useful.

All you need to do to start a metaverse game is to create a metaverse character and when starting a game click the Metaverse button and be online so that the game is "registered" by the metaverse server. Thereonafter you can be offline as you play the game for however long it takes. Once you win the game you need to be online and you can submit the game to the metaverse.

The AltMeta basically takes all the data from Stardocks metaverse and displays it in alternate ways. The one criteria to have your metaverse games included in the AltMeta is to be a member of one of the top 50 empires which is really not all that hard since at this point all you would need would be a cumulative score of 135K or so. You also would need to ask Kryo to include you on the list by putting in a request in the AltMeta Help Desk thread.

Hiya guys

nice to "see" you again!

Oh the stupidness. So I thought "If I play I might as well play an Immense Galaxy, -might be my last game ever after all". But so it doesn't take too long I took rare planets and stuff.

/slaps himself for that stupid idea.

With some more planets - which would have been rather benefical to flipping - I wold have won ages ago. But no....so it  takes ages to invade every single frickin' planet

Just so I have something to do, I declared one shiny day war on every race no matter if they were allies or foes before. That gave some pleasure for a few turns - Until no living thing  beside my evil Insectoids has been caught flying around anymore.

But then, nobody said that being evil is always fun. yikes

But after all, somehow the game isn't as much fun anymore as it used to be.

Hehe......That reminds me of something glorious...errr...unfortunate that happpened not too long ago. I was showing the Snathi ambassador how to build up a massive military force via instant upgrade. Just for anecdotal purposes, you understand. Nothing sinister, I assure you. Well, we all know how devious....errr...clumsy the Snathi are. After rigging the entire weapons system to a single button in the central control room, I >thought< I heard the doorbell ring. Nobody there. Go figure. Anyway, by the time I got back to the CCR, the Snathi ambassador was standing there looking very guilty. You know the look, like a dog who just shit in your dress shoes. After considerable torture...err... coaxing, he reluctantly admitted that he unintentionally initiated an "unfortunate and unforeseeable triggering event" while I was out of the room. Now, I really don't remember leaving BOTH of the detonator keys in their respective switches, but I suppose I COULD have.....

Anyway, 8 weeks later the other races all surrendered their entire territories, so no harm done.

uhmmm, way to go?

Just cruising by to rattle the dust off.  Hi all.    

Stay evil now.
