I'm afraid that the credit for the gigantic maso win really should go more to getting a nice start than to my own skills.

You don't give yourself enough credit, vincible. If starting location is all there is, lots of folks will be winning at Maso Gigantic.

I'm doing mine the hard way in my game. Pure military invasions. My pop score will undoubtably suffer as hordes of my pop are constantly being sent to the front lines. I may culture flip the Dregs though as they got Tir-Quan.

I may not be the best or most creative writer but at least I contribute on the forums unlike the Canadians or some other empires that are inactive on the forums

Kit struggles to hold Darth Bob back. If only Gengsta had known... but it's too late. The Dark Dragon of Doom had been released!

Run away! Run away!

Correct, Darth Bob (and not about your quality). Participation is what counts most towards the environment. Interestingly, a small thread has sprung up trying to lure the Canucks out - I'd really like to hear from them and the Euros on a regulat basis.

I tried out the 'differing alignment' bonus with my latest game. Me = Good, Them = Bad. It's my understanding the opposite scenario's a little buggy right now.

It's a fairly decent bonus, I think. 13,000 for a Small map at Painful? Not too shabby.

I took Ray's advice (way back in this thread) to heart as well, selling Aphrodisiac and Regenerators immediately to keep the AI populations growing at a healthy pace.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with the results. I want to jump back up to a big map but I'm afraid if I do Stardock will put out another beta, and I'll be stuck finishing up my game before I can test the new stuff out.

It's remarkable how big of a time difference there is on the map sizes. It only took me 4 hours to complete the Small map today (light speed for a plodding builder like myself). It takes me a week to finish a Large map.

Well you've held on to #1 long enough in my When to Congratulate the Number One Overlord: Revised Edition for a congratulations. So congratualtions, Ray! Congratualtions on holding on to the #1 spot!

Um... you did laugh at my "literary critique", didn't you? You know how important approval is for me.

Hope I didn't go overboard... heh heh... pirate... overboard.

(edit: if only i had a brain)

Way to go, H50. Yes, looking at various results, I would say the alignment bonus looks larger than anticipated.

Thanks Kit.

edit: if only i had a brain

You and Gerakken are the two more thoughtful (as in thinker) pirates I have met. Well actually, I've not met too many pirates but you get my point.

Ray, in chat! (getting winded chasing the wizard through different threads) WotW discussion in progress!

#633 by Veteran Killa Koala - 7/27/2003 5:49:23 AM

Yep, congrats Ray! I can see that you have the goal of reaching 100,000 points first!

#634 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 7/27/2003 5:59:59 AM

8 of us were in chat just, Chris.

Yoda, Obi, Blue, EBZ, Wombie, Kit, Ger and myself. Kit computed for me that I would need a 16k game to cross 100 so I'm cranking one right now.

#635 by Veteran Killa Koala - 7/27/2003 6:22:12 AM

Well that is a star studded cast of characters!

After 100,000 do you transcend to Beyond Human?

#636 by Citizen KitWarrior - 7/27/2003 8:22:21 AM

Ray,

I keep going over IceMole's formula and I just can't get it to work for your Metaverse score. It's close for all the ways I'm messing with it, but I can't get the exact same score that's displayed. So... given the inaccuracies, I've calculated that it could take over 19k to push over 100k. It may still be less, but I can't tell since the formula isn't working with your score. Sorry dude.

Good luck! Try to get over 19k?

#637 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 7/27/2003 9:01:46 AM

Kit!!!!!

Now you tell me!

Just played the fastest Large game I've ever played. Four hours.

I've got 19k+ but I'm 30 pts short of 100,000pts !!!

My hands are literally shaking now from the super fast clicks so my destiny has to wait till tomorrow.

#638 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 7/27/2003 9:06:42 AM

Now Kit, this is crtical.

How many points do I need now to get me over 100,000pts?

Don't you dare get it wrong this time round.

#639 by Citizen KitWarrior - 7/27/2003 9:07:48 AM

It's not my fault! I swear! Don't turn me into a cat!

Um... play a little more for a few hundred points?

[Kit makes a mad dash for the woods]

#640 by Citizen KitWarrior - 7/27/2003 9:09:45 AM

[from the woods]

That's just it! I don't know! The formula isn't working for your score!

#641 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 7/27/2003 9:15:52 AM

Actually Kit, this is kinda fun.

Now I get to be kept in suspense as to whether Staffa will now churn out 2-3 games in quick succession to cut me off from 100k.

I honestly don't have the strength and desire to play another game tonight. I will finish my quest tomorrow.

#642 by Citizen Gengsta - 7/27/2003 9:16:13 AM

Hmm, from your the list of your scores, it looks like if you had just waited one more day, you would have had it.

Resubmit the game tomorrow.

#643 by Ambassador Ray the Wanderer - 7/27/2003 9:20:40 AM

Gengsta, do we really have the opportunity to submit our games a second time?

Ok, I'll try that.

#644 by Citizen Wild Wombat - 7/27/2003 9:24:26 AM

Gengsta, do we really have the opportunity to submit our games a second time?

Gengsta is correct, Ray - you get two (and only two) chances. I often have submission probs where I get an 'anomolous' with zero score. Reloading from the last autosave and resubbing saves me. Stardock's own docs state you get two chances to submit.

#645 by Citizen KitWarrior - 7/27/2003 9:26:46 AM

[from far far away]

add points ray...

add points...

#646 by Veteran vincible - 7/27/2003 10:32:36 AM

You beat a Large in four hours? You're a Galciv machine!

#647 by Diplomat HawaiiFive-O - 7/27/2003 12:21:30 PM

Whoo-hoo!

Go Ray!

#648 by Veteran Gerakken - 7/27/2003 3:25:38 PM

The Ringbearer always has a tough road, Ray. Instead of trying to augment your current score for those scant few extra points, shouldn't you just crank out another game? Besides, you have two scores. The official Metaverse score is 99,970, but the score on your player record is only 97,265. Looks like you have to dispel all doubt by raising the lower one to 100K as well. I would expect nothing less from the champ.

And watch out for Staffa. Comebacks are legendary in both boxing and the Metaverse!

#649 by Citizen Gengsta - 7/27/2003 4:49:37 PM

According to my estimation, submitting the game tomorrow should increase his numbers significantly - around 800 points. Sometimes that is even more than people get for new submissions.
