Maybe that's the ticket... play at the easy levels just to get the points, but then I don't enjoy the game at easier levels. Right now I'm up to "tough" in my current game (everyone set to Intelligent). I just completely kicked the Arcean's butt and took all but one of their planets. I'm playing as Pacifists, so naturally I didn't start the war. I just finished it. Before that, the Yor thought they were hot shots. Eventually, they came begging for peace. And even though I am chaotic evil I've got the Altarians to not dislike me. So now it's back to the game so I can decide who to let attack me next.

Hiya farmers! Your thread slipped off the front page - and I couldn't have that! Sorry I've been a stranger lately - don't worry, I'm cookin' up something! idle - kiss that princess for me and go play with those boys. Cheers!

Wild Wombat weren't you with Anzac originally??

                      
#303  by Citizen Wild Wombat - 7/31/2003 1:10:28 AM

surthur - yes indeed - read the old ANZAC and Freedom Force threads for a complete story of goings on. Some of us old ANZACs longed for a change - and ended up forging a franchise with GROSS: the Pirates of the Southern Seas! The Killa Koala formerly known as Drop Bear, ajm and Hurley are all in it. I still have a soft spot for the Children of the Corny, though! Spark up, farmers!

Man the front page of the Metaverse (0-25) looks like a GROSS role call. Those Anzac recruits and Grosses new drive are really pushing them on. Time to role up our sleeves.

Time to role up our sleeves


Absolutely - it wouldn't feel right without seeing that cute rising sun symbol on the Metaverse....under the skull-and-crossbones one, of course....

plephart, idle, surthur - lead your disiciples out of the corn fields and back to their computers!!!

Wow! The MWC still exists?! Good one guys. Anyways, just reminding you that GROSS is still on top, and you guys arent .

Have a terrific day!

Actually they are concerned about more important things. It's only about 4 months now till Michigan crushes Ohio St. Time to start partying.

                          
#308  by Citizen Grathocke - 8/4/2003 2:34:20 AM

Gee! I think this is more like the GROSS thread. Where are all the MWC'ers? I am almost afraid to look at Metaverse, 'cause I know we are getting our hats handed to us. And worse still, the Canadians are sneaking up on us. Come on now, we can't let the Canadians get ahead of us, too! That would be like sacrilege (sp?) or worse. I'm in the midst of a gigantic right now so it will be a few days before I win (overconfident?), but I hope everyone gets a good score in soon. Even if everybody does a measly 5K points, we could get up over 200K. Oh well, wishful thinking maybe.

                      
#309  by Citizen Wild Wombat - 8/4/2003 7:19:36 AM

Grathocke - you're third; not exactly getting your hat handed to you. Stir up those Children of the Corn(y) - I miss them! GO man GO!

                          
#310  by Veteran surther - 8/4/2003 11:33:38 AM

I am also in the middle(late) of a gigantic/tough and all that is left is the screaming. Another days worth of playing at most now that the Dregin have surrendered (yes surrendered) to me. Yes Pontius it is close to harvest time and with the harvest comes football. I can here the echoes stirring and the thunder shaking. We are all brother midwesterners but when it comes to our college football teams....well its a good thing we still have that midwestern heritage to hold us together.

I'm still around too, trying to hang on to my top 25 ranking. Sound off MWC members if you're around, perhaps we can kickstart this empire once again. Oh and as far as football goes, Badgers, preseason ranked at #20, go Bucky! And the Pack is set for another kick butt season, Farve is unstoppable, Super Bowl this year?



                      
#312  by Veteran Captain Jack Sparrow - 8/4/2003 12:08:14 PM

There is no such thing as Midwestern heritage when it comes to football. It's every school for itself.
HAIL TO THE VICTORS VALIANT. HAIL TO THE CONQUERING HEROES. HAIL HAIL TO MICHIGAN THE LEADERS OF THE WEST


And now for the Ohio St. Fight song. HAIL HAIL THE GANGS ALL HERE SO LETS LOSE TO MICH AGAIN Back to reality this year Ohio St. Fans. You had your 15 minutes of fame. It's gonna be Meeeechigan in a romp. LET'S GO BLUE!!!!

I hate to tell you guys this, but in the Terran Alliance, Ohio has been turned into a slave colony.

LMAO!!!! You must be an Michigan Fan Grathocke.

                          
#316  by Veteran surther - 8/4/2003 1:04:40 PM

Michigan is due a good season, I will give them that and I live in Glorious Michigan.....but I graduated ND so after they lose to ND I wish them the best for the rest of their season. While her loyal sons are marching onward to victory... Now Pontius you aren't trying to plant any seeds of hostility in our peaceful empire are you??

                      
#317  by Veteran Captain Jack Sparrow - 8/4/2003 1:50:08 PM

Yeah. Your Laydown Irish sure proved their mettle vs SC last year. Whoaaaaaa Nellie.


                          
#318  by Veteran surther - 8/5/2003 9:29:18 AM

The Irish seem to have good days and bad days. Some times they just don't show up like SC and BC, and other days they deal out some major butt kicking like Michigan and Florida State. I just hope they are more consistant this year. They really need a new quarterback. It has been a soft spot for some time now.

                      
#319  by Citizen Grathocke - 8/5/2003 10:51:33 AM

Well, I went to Loyola, and since it is one of those poor little Catholic schools with no football team I have to support SOMEBODY. So, whatever state I am living in at the time gets my vote. Used to be Miami, then LSU, and now Michigan.

You can always pull for MSU, they need more help then the Wolverines.

                      
#321  by Veteran Captain Jack Sparrow - 8/5/2003 12:51:16 PM

You can always pull for MSU,


The Wolverines will tear through Sparta faster than Philip of Macedonia

, they need more help then the Wolverines.


Boy I'll say. Their QB sure lived up to his name. Smoker. Too bad it was crack he was smoking instead of the other team.



                          
#322  by Citizen Wild Wombat - 8/5/2003 7:54:04 PM

I love this stuff! This is the game where the pansies wear helmets and all that armour, right? I love watching it, and baseball, too! Any Diamondback fans out there?

Part 4: LOCUSTS!!!

Second Decent

"Boop tic tic beep?"

"Any crop field will do, Max."

An unmarked corvette descended into a quaint field of corn. For the next 51 minutes and 22 seconds, it sat there peacefully.

Wrath

The indirect approach was called for this time. With sophisticated weapons, the MWC could make short work of a single crazed pirate. But this one had an Evil plan.

Six times an unnoticed red sphere appeared and disappeared in the MWC's heartland. Each instance was followed by mayhem.

"How do these locusts multiply so quickly?!?!" Idle called out to Zoshan.

Zoshan was struggling with his ionized sprayer. It was supposed to kill all harmful insects without damaging the crops. "I dunno!"

"What the heck is this?!?!" Plephart caught one of the Yorian locust-bots in his right hand. "It's mechanical!" The others ceased their spraying. "All ERCs. All ERCs, this is Big Momma. We're dealing with some Yorian technology!"

Across the agricultural landscape, the Emergency Reaction Crews retreated to their staging areas to rearm. And yet... all did not report in.

"Surther!" Kit leaped from the cornhusks at the head MWCer, electric cattleprod/razor stretched outward.

ZZZZZZZZZT!!!

"BLAKH AKH AKH!!!" Big Daddy dropped to the ground. It was a bit tricky with Surther twitching (and Kit's blood-alcohol level rather high) for the mad marauder to shave his victim's head, but neatness didn't count this time. Long before Kit could be discovered, he vanished in a red flash to find his next victim.

"Foolish MWCers. 'From top to bottom, jump in and get your hands dirty.' So predictable." Kit knew how to exploit hardworking values. He knew quite well.

ZZZZZZZZZT!!! Tim was shaven. ZZZZZZZZZT!!! Jon was shaven. ZZZZZZZZZT!!! Zoshan was shaven. ZZZZZZZZZT!!! Idle was shaven. ZZZZZZZZZT!!! Plephart was shaven. ZZZZZZZZZT!!! Kyrofx... had no hair... good thing he wasn't around. ZZZZZZZZZT!!! Jordan was shaven. ZZZZZZZZZT!!! Axels was shaven. ZZZZZZZZZT!!! ZZZZZZZZZT!!! ZZZZZZZZZT!!! They all fell.

Strolling to his corvette, surrounded by the electric buzz of locust-bots, amidst a landscape of destruction, Kit was satisfied. What was the price of a few shaven heads? The decimation of a planet's food supply? Cheap... and the corvette departed.

And here I thought from part 5 that the electric prod was modified to...well it doesn't matter. I blame Quack for my current depraved thoughts.
