Wow. Philosophy. It's been a long day, so sorry if this rambles a bit. To quote a phrase, "It all depends greatly on your own point of view."
We're working on the whole control of the galaxy thing. Jedi have always taken the long view.
Like all empires, we're trying to provide a forum for people to enjoy the game on a level beyond "something to fiddle with on the PC tonight." That's posting amusing bits, strategies or stories here in the threads; doing the same in the Stardock chat room; posting games to the Metaverse to uphold the honor of the Republic, etc.
Then there's the whole Star Wars phenomenon. It DOMINATED a generation or two, including mine. It's nice to not only pay it an homage here, but also to have a little fun role-playing.
Long term (besides that whole master plan thing), we also want to take more of a leading role in areas outside of the Metaverse and the forums. Meaning, the Web. Yoda has a good basic site up and going that will serve as a foundation. It would be nice to build this into a Star Wars-themed clearinghouse for game modifications, etc. similar to what CDG have already done in a general way. The more participation, the merrier. If any Jedi are interested, it might also be possible to tie in the multitudes of other SW-themed games out there - SW Galaxies, Knights of the Old Republic, etc. With, of course, GalCiv as the crown jewel.
So, the real question is - what do YOU want the Republic to be? Yoda founded this thing, but he's made it clear that everybody has a vote - it's a Republic, not a dictatorship. Welcome aboard!

I have been too long away from this thread. In my absence I've been working on my first masocistic game. It was going well, but then the bottom dropped out. I don't know if I can hold out. Hopefully, if I pull it out, we will get some good points out of this one.

Yep, we're still here. Although as one of the "other" themed empires, we're also feeling the pinch that is affecting Freedom Force. Page 2 for our main empire thread...ouch.
Yoda is taking a fast vacation from GalCiv to try out Knights of the Old Republic and should be back shortly. At least that's the official version. He may well be learning new Force healing techniques or chasing barmaids while drunk - only Gerakken knows for sure.
Qui-Gon:
Good luck, Master. Look out for the guy in the devil mask and the red double lightsaber - I can't cover your back this time.
Wait a minute - is KitWarrior actually Darth Maul in disguise?!? Hmmm....

On second thought, no. Darth Maul didn't talk much. Couldn't be Kit.

Just turned in a Large, Painful that I've been working on for awhile and got it.
Yeeeeee hah!

Which remark - the talking bit or the "Large, Painful" one?
Edit: Moot point with the updated quote - darn pirates keep jumping me!

At 30 hours I'm checking in... been playing that game nonstop for the past few days and I still havn't found that damn Star Forge.... Think I'm close though  . Anyway, let me be the first to tell you all that KotOR is the Best SW game EVER. I cannon over state this, and my praise dosn't come easily... Especially for a SW game. I should be on more frequently some time soon, I am 30 Hrs. into KOTOR now and it is estimated to be a 40 hr game. Check in again later.
PS. I am of course, a Light Jedi. Didn't want you getting any ideas to the contrary... Though that Lightning is quite a trick... yes...
PPS. BTW, the KOTOR Storyline has given me MUCH more to write about for WotW.. Expect some good stories asap after I finish the game!

Go Master Yoda! And remember, don't drink and game....on second thoughts...what am I saying!

Hang tight - you seem to have a critical mass of people who want to support the theme. Our problem is that now, I'm not sure that we can do it with so few, especially if there's dissention in the few that are there. Good luck, and may the Force be with you....

The problem with having so few members (even great players) is that the more games you submit within a 30 day time frame the less points they are worth on the metaverse. That is, 10 people submitting 1 game each is worth way more than 2 people submitting 5 games each.

They will all flip and you will win by military victory without firing a shot!

| I cant bring the game up at work (unfort!), but does anyone know if you can edit the game while playing and disable the alliance/cultural/ect victory conditions? |

Dooku,
I just pulled up an old saved game to check - no dice. 
StBlasius:
Congrats on the promotion to Veteran! Who do you know at Stardock? Can you introduce us?

P.S. Welcome to the Republic, LKS Sierra. It's good to have another Knight join the fray.
