Thanks for the welcoming...very good and ethical up to now but after being a member of T of E for a few hours beginning to think evil thoughts.

In beautiful Monterey Bay area on Calif. Central Coast.

Can't hardly wait to get my T of E tee shirt and mouse-pad.

I've received various empire invitations for awhile now, but I, admittedly, haven’t paid too much attention to them. Lately though, I've felt the need to finally pick one and perhaps help take down some of those old top empires.

After some thought, I decided to join you guys. The Tyranny seems active and friendly (in an evil sort of way!) enough, with great potential for galactic domination, and really who could ask for more?!

So, hey all. Hope to see those boards up again, and talk some strategy. We have top level villainy to perform!

With, CalifDude and I joining today, it's a flood of recruits!

Welcome, both CalifDude and BrutalJ. Embrace your inner evil. Have fun with it. Pour a gallon of scalding hot monkey urine on your neighbors car. Oops, did I say that last one out loud?!

Anyway, enjoy. The benefits of evil far outweigh the "good" feelings you get when you play nice.

And a big thank you Neillo for promoting me to Senator. I am not sure that I deserve it, after all, I did not assassinate anyone to get the job. I am already looking over my shoulder. . . paraniod delusions decending on me . . . scalding hot monkey . . . aaaahhhh.
All better now.

Wow..stupid bloody time zones and mother in laws keeping me away from my evil brethren..

A big welcome to both CalifDude and BrutalJ....Break out the Torian ale guys..we have ourselves a party to throw. We will avail ourselves to Jeff's liquor stocks shall we!!

It is a shame that our forums are down ATM as we do have alot of great Galciv info on there, plus some funny stuff too.

It does not look good for our old forum so...i have just the other night signed up for a new one.....

It is not ready as i was mainly just reserving our name there should we decide to make the move but i will do what i can to get it up and running. Though many...many of our strategy post will be lost forever, but we can, over time delve back into our evil domination tactics once more and help spread the word...whilst shaving a few kittens along the way!!

I will do what i can Motti, i know you are busy mate. I will send you a friendly pm when i am stuck mate, but please, pitch in at your pleasure mate. It is nice having this thread active though.

And a big thank you Neillo for promoting me to Senator. I am not sure that I deserve it, after all, I did not assassinate anyone to get the job.

Steal me Marshalls Altarian beauty slave and we will call it even!

It's just how i reward high scorers mate.

Again welcome guys, now someone pass me the scolding hot monke.....errr uhmm...i mean the Torian Ale

From one of the very few posts by a eAmped admin....

Hi. I see that you've had a lot of questions about what is going on. Sorry for the lack of update but the ISP wasn't workin over the weekend and I didn't have much to report. I wish we had more answers but this is exactly where things stand.

Late last week the ISP had some electric/power issues due to weather. This caused the computers where the database for the forums as well as our backups to go down.

We've been working with them to try to restore the data but they haven't had any luck yet. In the meantime we approached Lefora to help with a temporary solution as you have seen here. They put up the front page and the support forum so at least you had some idea of what was up.

So currently the ISP is going to send the hard drives where our stuff was hosted to us. We will try to get a professional to see if its even possible to retrieve any data.

The summary is that its looking slim that data will be 100% restored. We might get bits and pieces but who knows what those pieces are. So the alternatives are this:

1.

Go somewhere else. I'm assuming some of you have already and I don't blame you.
2.

Wait to see what happens with the hard drives (no ETA on this).
3.

Work with the Lefora folks to re-establish your forum. They have told me they are coming out with a more traditional forum style next week and all new data created would move into the classic look. The Lefora admin on here can answer any other questions related to that.

I don't think the situation looks good. I will go ahead and set up the new forums and if we do recover the old one we can just move the posts over.

Ok now the fun part...pming all the tyranny users that used our forums.....

I report this, not as a threat to the Tyranny, but simply because I'm in awe of this player and he/she really deserves some praise.

This is SpaceTimer, a real one man army. On the Altmeta, he's only 400K behind us or for this player, about one day's work in just ONE GAME. Here's how this ONE character stands against 31 Ranked Tyranny-ers in the Altmeta.

In the Official Metaverse, his score is only limited by the high number of games he has(19). I applaud Spacetimer, I truly do. Bravo!

Note that in the universal category, he/she is 2nd though he only plays small games, while the rest of the people in Universal play Huge and Gigantic. If Spacetimer were to join the Tyranny, we would be instantly propelled to 2nd place in the Altmeta. Even more amazing is that it'd only take one or two of his/her small 2 million pts games to unseat Mumble as No.1 in the Official MV.

Wow, 2mil on small in 2 years. Begs the question of an unknown bug or something. But fantastic score regardless, congrats!

Yes, good scores. He's apparently found something in there. Maybe we'll all find out in the beta reports sometime down the road. Whatever it is, I'll bet it took some effort to find and use it.

@neilo - I've been to the new Tyranny forums. If you'll upgrade me, I can start working on stuff when I can get to it. The forums there seem much faster than the eamped ones. Better load balancing, methinks. I like.

agreed, amazing scores...though, my natural cautious nature would ask about how one managed 2 million points in a small galaxy. I've seen scores like that in huge and gigantic but never in one that small, and that's with looking at players who really know the tricks too. But, this is could all be my ignorance and lack of know-how, i don't want to begrudge a well-played game.

A request to Firebender. Quit showing us this kind of stuff (Spacetimer's super high scores). I already think my scores suck as they are (especially when I look at the scores some of you guys post) and seeing stuff like this is causing my manhood to further degrade. HAHAHA! It kinda sucks that we may lose all the info from the TofE forums, I was just starting to read up on all the old posts you guys had on there. Oh well.
Also a quick welcome to CalifDude and BrutalJ! Neilo did tell you about the mandatory fee for joining didn't he? You have to send everyone in the TofE a 12 pack of their favorite beer (I'll take Corona-thank you)!!

Just Coca Cola, please.

You should've seen my scores. Ever got 4400 pts on a medium in 10 years while on challenging in a military victory? I did. I erased them all though. Plus, I don't even know how to play a map over medium.

Y'know that ultimate homeworld's post at the ToE forums we had. I bet you never saw anything like this.

2 x 300% manufacturing tiles
3 x 100% manufacturing tiles
3 x 100% research tiles
3 x 100% influence tiles
1 x 100% morale tile
1 x 100% farming tile

Look more carefully and you see that there isn't a single normal tile! (except for the spaceport and colony capital) This is for my current Small Suicidal, should make for 25K... I hope.

I saw Spacetimer's scores too and my first thought was that he most likely cheated in some way. 2 million on a small map seems totally improbable. Stardock is aware and may be looking into it.

Maybe Mumble or someone who gets megascores will chime in and shed some light on the possibility of such a score.

Sentient species taste better...

why can't I get worlds like that FireBender? How many planets are you playing with in the setup? It seems, though not always, that rare maps have a higher confluence of resources than larger maps.
