Space Orca's where are you?

Where is TBAY? Where is Meglo? What has happened to the crew?

There are all sorts of new players heading to the metaverse and the top empireis sitting on it's haunches. Active recruiting seems to have paused.

We need to get up (get on up) and get involved.

Syrrus K and myself have both been appointed to the Metaverse council, which is being hosted at the galactic core Galactic Core link . The council is currently attempting to improve teh way things happen within the metaverse, things such as scoring, the way scores are categorised e.t.c... The BC Space Orca's have had the priviledge of being considered as one of the 4 founding empires for this council, which is pretty cool. I was hoping that some of our active members could head on over to the galaticcore and have a look at what we have been planning and trying to achieve.

Also, many of you Orca's may not be aware, that there is an Alternate Metaverse scoring chart, which encompasses a different method of score calculation - the score calculation is based more on active participation rather than manipulation of universe size and difficulty. You should definately check it out sometime! See if you can find your name and check out the banners for the Altmeta (hopefully mine appears below)

Well that's it for me, trying to come up with another tip, however I can't pin anything down to match the caliber of what Meglo had posted in the past.

Go the Orca's!


Link for the Alternate Metaverse

Indeed, WHERE ARE YOU ORCA'S?????

I haven't had much luck getting this email bizzo working via this forum. Syrrus, perhaps we should try and contact as many of the Orca's as we can in an effort to get them involved with things again!?

If I get a chance I will start on that this weekend. It would seem that not even Ras is around at the moment. I would expect that people would be over the x-mas festivus conundrum and be hard at it all again.

Well I am placing the finishing touches on another Gig/Military conquest, which should hopefully propel me into the top 30 and place me within striking distance for a top 25 attack in the next few weeks. Syrrus I might have a chat to you about some strategies in an effort to crank my scores a little higher.

Hopefully we hear from some Orca's soon.

I have been placing bio's of the new cadidates in their voting section Syrrus so if you are still making up your mind about people have a look at what I have written.

Ciao fer now.

Things have shifted a lot, many members are going to the Core now.

We hope these forums will improve with DA activity, but we can only hope.

Come to the Core, most of our discussions are avialable for public comment

Woo Hooo, I believe that by the time anyone bothers to read this post I should have managed to sneak into the top 25! Not bad for a new father of a 7 month daughter!
Top 25 in 6 months...YIPPIE!!!

Go the Orca's! (if there's any left other than Syrrus and myself...)

Hope to see some more posts here soon. Let me know how you are all going with your games submitted e.t.c...

Still haven't heard from TBAY (R u out there dude?)

Well I'm off to bed - can't wait to get up in the morning and hopefully see my top 25 status (hopefully I don't get punked out...)

Ciao peoples!

There are currently 8 Orca's members in the top 25 (well profiles anyway). I think Syrrus you and Gallagher count for 5 or 6 of those places. I will be starting up a second character for the purpose of posting DA games to the MV but my posting might slow down a little from now on as I have a masters degree kicking off at the end of Feb...I will also try and slip in a game to my major profile from time to time in an effort to stay in the top 25...

Congrats on your newly acquired bling there Syrrus - with your Commodore status!
You truly are the current champion for the BC Space Orca's. I have sent you a PM on the galacticcore in an effort to have a chat to you about your tactics and attempting to contact more of the Orca players in an effort to get us all cohesive again.

Our hold on the no.1 empire space will potentially be compromised if we don't keep involvement of its members nice and high! Hopefully DA will see some returned enthusiasm!

Only managed to get my hands on one there Syrrus - the one which didn't have the bulk of your reply D'oh!

Oh and hey I notice that one of your characters is now top of the Altmeta as well as the metaverse! Go you psycho!

Indeed the HCH is a serious threat - we need to have a look at our membership base and encourage those who are stilla ctively participating and perhaps attempt to contact those who have fallen off and try and ascertain why.

Yes, excellent work!

Still no other comments in here.
Seems like the Orcas are some endangered species ...
At least DA has brought one back. Nellup was posting the first DA game for the Orcas!
Maybe you will find time to drop in here.

Go to the B.C. Space Orcas and click on the "Join Empire" button underneath the picture of the Orca.   

Welcome to the Space Orca's Jeff - happy slaying the enemy - as a suggestion, there are some good hints and tips posted by Meglobob throughout this thread - you should check them out, they certainly helped enhance my game-play!

If you want to ask any specific questions feel free to ask eitehr Syrrus or myself about this!

Ciao for now (I will try and check in here at least twice a week...)

Go the Orca's (hmm we seem to have lost our no.1 spot... D'oh)

trying to post some games tough when your wife nags, your son wants on the pc instead of the 360 and of course that 4 letter word work chat latter

how do you get the stats to show up under your post? is it because my character name is different?(pike the persecutor)

Ras1310 is certainly correct but to give you a bit more detail, there are actually two things being displayed. One are the medals that are associated with your "default" character. The medals are a function of this site and are automatically displayed once you enable them. The AltMeta banner is something that you can get a link to from the AltMeta site but you need to explicitly include it in each post that you want to display it in.

To get your medals shown the procedure is slightly different dependent on where you are in the GalCiv2 forums. The simplest way is to click on the "Metaverse" button on the left side near the top of pretty much any page. From there go to the "Account" menu and select "Edit My Characters". This brings you to the "Manage Characters" screen. There are three buttons to the left of your character. The buttons are "Edit Player", Clear Scores" and "Default". Since you haven't set your default character the "Default" is a very faint shade of blue that's almost invisible. However, if you press the "Default" button it will set that character as your default character which will cause that characters medals to be displayed along with all of your posts.

As far as your AltMeta banner, go to your character listing on the the AltMeta and you'll see a list of banner style's that you can select from. You can copy the one of your choice (ctrl-C) and paste it into your posts (ctrl-V). I keep the link in a text file that I keep on my desktop so that it's readily available when I want to use it. The banner includes a link to your character page on the AltMeta.

I've taken the liberty of using your AltMeta banner in this post so if you click on it you'll be taken directly to your character screen on the AltMeta.

Also, while you're following links around drop by The Galactic Core for a hotbed of metaverse and AltMeta discussion.

next question how do you get a photo(new on computer not very high tech person didnt even know what an mp3 player was oh and i am an orca thanks)
