Welcome aboard Gyb. This past month has been one of the most turbulent in the Metaverse. Your presence in the MWC will hopefully help us stablize our base and push on to #1. As Idle said please feel free to browse over at the home base (hmmm should we call it the Barn).
Dido on the congrats Kryo you have been an amazing player, I had know idea what an asset you were going to be when we appointed you Senator.

Excuse me, but I'm still rather new and don't know much of what I need to do here. I live in Illinois, in the midwest of the US, so I fit the empire's theme [I think]. However, I'm somewhat hesitant to join, because I don't know whether I need permission or not. I don't want to do something wrong or get in trouble, so I'm just asking for permission [and if I need permission] to join this empire...

Regards. ^^;

Nicholas:

Empires here in the Metaverse are either "open" or "invite-only." The MWC is an open empire and is generally very, well, open to new members. Regardless of their geographic locations.

For your sanity, however, I warn you that an appreciation of college football is VITAL to your survival if you read this thread while a member!

#653 by Citizen Lucian Gyiira - 10/30/2003 7:48:11 PM

Ah. ^^ So I can join anytime I like, then! As for the college football thing...I'll take my chances with losing my sanity.

#654 by Veteran surther - 10/31/2003 9:15:57 AM

Nicholas welcome to the MWC. The Jedi master is correct on two counts. We welcome anyone from anywhere and we (or at least I) love college football. Even when my school is doing horrible (ND Grad). So head over to the Barn (home website) and sign up. There are alot of game tips (and a little sports talk) there.

I tried to register on the MWC website but it didn't send me the confirmation email. I tried registering again but it said my email was already registered. So I told it I lost my password and it says it sent it to my email, but the email never arrived. Does the site have a problem with Hotmail addresses, or am I missing something?

#657 by Veteran surther - 10/31/2003 10:11:44 AM

Hmmm, unfortunetly Idle is the gate keeper so he will have to let you know. I am sure he will figure it out. Sorry about the inconvience.

I tried to register on the MWC website but it didn't send me the confirmation email.

I'm under the hood now. I'll get it going again, sorry for the delay.

Well I've though long and hard about this, and I decided that it's about time to take the plunge. As you can see I've moved to the Jedi Republic. I don't really feel like going into all the details again, but I did discuss this with kasualkid before making it official and I can get the transcript if anyone wants to hear the long, drawn out explanation that badly.

Just remember I have nothing against MWC, and I've thought a lot about doing this... May the Force be with MWC, always...

Edit: I was going to just post the chat transcript from me and kasualkid on the members' forum but it looks like idle pulled my access before I could do it. I asked kasualkid to do it for me though so hopefully it will be there for you all to read if you want. If you have any comments toward me, though, put them here since I can't see them over there anymore

All MWC members,

If you've recently joined the MWC and registered on our website

Link but never received a confirmation email, please

Email me and I will remove your inactive account so you can re-register.

An email issue has been resolved and you will now get your confirmations upon re-registering, but only after I remove your old account. So please

Email me.

Thanks and sorry for the trouble,
idle

#663 by Veteran surther - 10/31/2003 12:59:18 PM

Sorry to lose you Kryo, Ironic though since I was just saying how stable the MWC has been through this period of member jumping. Anyway have fun with the Lucas folks you are always welcome back.

#664 by Veteran kryo - 10/31/2003 1:16:09 PM

Thanks for the offer surther

Anyways though, Like I told kid I've been thinking about this since well before the hopping started up... once it did though I decided it would be best to wait to do anything until after it all settled down again

In any case though, MWC seems to be doing well enough for now, what with two new recruits in the past week. Just keep things up while I'm gone

#665 by Citizen Rishara - 10/31/2003 11:07:48 PM

God, does this ****** empire hopping piss anyone else off? What's the point?

Looks like I get the dreaded #666. I agree with your post. While I encouraged people who thought they did not fit to move on, there was a rash of moves done more on temporary playful whims than anything else. Then that led to a chain reaction of people who already had empire issues moving around. This was bad at first, but maybe some good may come of it in the long run. It does bring up the serious issue of whether having a high player score and/or being a very active person in an empire through forums means having a higher standard to meet than a zero point rookie who does not even know what the empire stands for yet.

I am a very avid supporter of empiring in general, having helped several empires in my day, but I do have some expectations. First, research the Meta a bit before just jumping in an empire or creating your own. Compatibility is important. Second, leaving is OK if it is well thought out and there are real issues that cannot be resolved. Joining an empire merely to spite someone else is one of the poorest reasons. Temporarily joining an empire just to make them #1 is also poor. Real frequent empire hopping lead to frustration and mistrust. All of those bad things have happened.

Now we are on the edge of a new age in the Meta. Galciv is going to keep updating and expanding for the near future at least and the Meta will be updated with new recruits as well. So what can us "old timers" teach them? Do we teach them that it is alright to play mercenary and use each other for convenience like some multi-player team games that turn into PK fests or that we are a community in both an overall sense of fellowship that crosses empire boundaries and also in a local sense of loyalty to our team mates in our own empires as well? Just some of Gerakken's thoughts for this night. Thank you for your patience, readers.

Edit: a couple of typos. Gerakken exceeding the speed limit again.

Looks like I get the dreaded #666.

And just missed getting it in on Halloween to boot!

#669 by Veteran kasualkid - 11/3/2003 9:05:34 AM

Domers got thumped again. Only the second time since 1940 that they have been shut out multiple times in a season.

FSU a lot - ND 0

#670 by Veteran surther - 11/3/2003 11:58:15 AM

Yep, they were in the red zone three times. The second and third time they went on 4th instead of kicking the field goal. What can I say, it's a building year.

#671 by Veteran Theoden of Rohan - 11/3/2003 12:14:01 PM

Hey, I feel your pain. UVa was tied with NC State with 42 secs to go in the 4th quarter. They lost 51-37.

Hey, Thinking of joining the MWC...

#673 by Veteran kryo - 11/4/2003 1:19:07 AM

By all means then, go right ahead! I'm sure you'd make a great addition to the MWC!

Dancer, they seem to be in mourning for the Notre Dame football team. You could always look into the Fellowship of the Ring...
