Nicely done Seth.



Don't say that, the Rosie Clones will hear you and come offer you naked pictures of themselves to aid your evil quest!



Hopefully your all sorted out now mate and can get back into the game.

  

That would not be a good thing at all. Cause then I would have to deal a VERY jealous MottiKhan (we all know how much he loves them Rosie clones).

Nelio, KP if ever get the Geckodon Alliance into the top 10, will more people want to join my empire?
PS:Yes i will try to get us into the top 10 by myself.

Perhaps mate, though i don't think position in the MV has anything to do with starting an empire. I think the name, theme and role play of an empire is the most important thing that attracts people to a new empire. Take the ToE for instance, the theme of the empire is in the name, so those who gravitate toward evil in their games may well join or at least consider the ToE just on that premise alone. The role play in the ToE, though understated is that we enjoy devouring others and that we take pleasure from it, not the most appealing notion but i think most take it as the tongue in cheek attitude that it is. The Kzinti are a great example of an attractive empire. KP's charisma aside, the Kzinti Empire is based on a well known and loved piece of science fiction, a perfect "hook" for players and the theme and role play are all there for the emperor and his members to build off.

Another important aspect to any empire is the Emperor and the members themselves. Take a look at an empire that has few members, say around 5. Do you know any of them? Sure there will be exceptions to the rule but an empire with an emperor who has forum presence is going to be attractive straight off the bat then one without. Same goes for the empire's members. An empire with a player base that has a great forum presence will do exceptional where a empire with players who keep to themselves may not fair so well.

Being active as an emperor is a great factor too. Look at AlexAtticus from the HCH or more so, KP. The Kzin have more members then any other empire as did the HCH before them. It's all down to the charisma and persuasiveness of the emperor. The ToE has a rather small member base but is very active, which is what has attracted us more members than anything else. The Toe also was started in the demise of the HCH of which Marshall, Motti and myself were all members, so when that ship was sinking i created the ToE and we came here. Having three very active members in the ToE that were all well known is what got us up the pointy end of the MV. KP used his game skill and recruiting prowess along with a fantastic empire idea to get the Kzin ball rolling. (the little gold medal does all the work for him now )

Sorry for the long winded answer, but will being in the top 10 get you more members, maybe. But being an active and prominent emperor with a "hook" will probably get you more.

Good luck mate.

My latest ZYW. Good enough to edge out KP for 2nd highest and only ~2K short of Mag's top effort.

Great game, neilo! Along with your other ZYWs and my submission last night of a 775k gigantic, we've passed the HCH by 51614 points and will have the 3rd place empire medal when the MV updates.

Congrats to all Evil Tyrannts for such a remarkable achievement by a small sized empire!

Awesome!! But we aren't stopping there(looking at our feline nemesis )

Nice scores, both Neilo and Motti!

I'll be adding in a few more games too once I've got this metaverse issue sorted out.

Nelio i was looking at you character and it says on a couple of your games you used cheats, i don't get it, you can cheat on the meta?

You can still submit the games that have been cheat flagged and as you saw they will show up in the characters games, but the points aren't added in to the totals. It's kind of a double punishment really since you don't get the points for the game, but you still get the score degradation by adding to the total number of submissions you have.

Yea, one of those games was a bug way back, it was DL game, right? There was an econ bug around that time that got me. The 2nd flag was when i started doing the ZYW's and i finished on April 1 not April 8th.

It's a shame that their there but, oh well.





AWESOME!!!!

A huge thankyou and congrationations to all the ToE members!! Who would have thought that after leaving the juggernaught of the HCH when they were in the number 1 position that we would come back to surpase them.

I think it is a great testament to the ToE members that, like you said Motti, the we can reach 3rd on the Meta (and 2nd in the Altmeta) with so few numbers. For comparison look at how we stack up with the other top empires.

Kzinti - 315 Ranked Members.
Diplomats - 129 RM
HCH - 173 RM
Tyranny of Evil - 39!!!!

Hmmm are you sure Motti? The points seem to have increased about 300K but we are still some ways off the HCH. Not far though!!

I track a bunch of MV data daily, and the ToE gined 229,77 points today. I think Motti was looking at his raw score and not what it actually added to his previous score.

The Tyrants will have a medal soon I'm sure!  

Sentient species taste better...

what medal?

which leaves me to use our ultimate weapon,
