Just noticed though, the diagonal lines do not continue all the way down, was that by design?

I liked it that way, especially on the taller version. I experimented with full lines; that really looked better with colors closer to the background, but I wanted to keep the brighter gold.

Of course, I'll be the first to admit that I'm a Web developer, not a graphic designer, and that it's for the best. If anyone would like to take my raw materials and experiment further, PM me and I'll send you the Photoshop file in layers.

I'm creatived out, so for now I'll stick with version 1.1.

Hey, i think it's fine this way too, just thought id play captain obvious for a moment.

I could tell you why your car won't start, or why you just can't get it to rev right, but other than building a pc and using it...i'll leave the creative stuff to you, a fine job was done and it looks a treat.

Couldn't ask you a favour could i? If you happen to get the time, perhaps there is a certain other empire that could benifeit from your talents (insert evil snicker)

This is a reminder to the large number of HCH folk who have not yet cast a vote in the MVC election, you still have a couple of more days to make your voices heard. Please vote as soon as possible. The High Command... erm... commands it!

Just to add to Marshall's post since he has to maintain an unbiased view, there are two members of the HCH up for the councilor's positions. Both Wyndstar and myself are up for election, so please if you can support your fellow HCH members bid to be on the council, please vote soon

Also of course, feel free to vote for whom you want to. The MVC will benifiet from whoever is voted in no matter the empire allegiance and we will all win out with the work the MVC is and will continue to be doing to improve the Metaverse.

It appears that the voting is over. Best of luck to neilo and Wyndstar! With what I'm sure was good participation in the elections, whatever happens, the Metaverse will be better off.

It's time for me to take my leave from the HCH to concentrate on more evil things. Take care and stay logical.

That's just an animated gif. What I really want to create is a code-based rotator that would include two AltMeta banners between the empire banners. Sure, I could save my current AltMeta banners and include them in the animation, but then they would be outdated soon.

Obviously we can't execute code here, or I'd do it in JavaScript. There must be a way to do it in PHP. That will be my next goal. That, and annihilating another galaxy and drinking dark, dark beer from a cup made of my last enemy's skull.

Yea!!!! I finally won a Suicidal the other night. OK, it was only a tech victory, but I managed it. It was a gigantic map with uncommon stars, common planets, abundant habitable. I only had 7 planets at the end of the colony rush. Was outclassed in everything, but stayed focused on a tech win from turn 1. Managed to get one of the big guns (Humans) as an ally, and used diplomacy to keep others off my back. No one attacked. If they did, I'd have been toast.

Well done. I have not managed an MV win on suicidal so my hat is off to you....

As for the tech victory, at that level id be just as happy as you to get a win, no matter the type.

D'oh! I've got one in the works, but it may be a little while before it's played out. Two posts so far this month (before mine) - things are eerily quiet around here...

I think people are still posting games, but it seems that many players have given up on this forum altogether. I think a lot of that has to do with the prevalence of the type of post I mention here: Request: Please remove off-topic categories from recent posts list.

I don't think it helps that the Emperor is MIA, either.

I agree with you as i did in that thread, it'd bloody annoying that crap like that religious and other OT clutter has forced good people away.

And how long as Alex been away, anyone seen him.......better yet is there anyone but me and Marshall around?

I think that Alex may be just on Vacation w/o Internet Access, which would be a shame. I hope that once the school year starts back up he will become a more active member and leader of the HCH once again. I am sorry once again for my own lack of participation, I am here but lie in the shadows of giants with my own scores not even hitting 25k. I am working on that but in non-meta games.

I am about to go on a possibly non-internet vacation myself, so I am probably not going to be posting much for the next week starting Friday.

I'm here, but I don't usually post in threads like this. I joined this empire originally because Alex sent me an email, no other reason. I enjoyed the fact that this empire shot up quickly, but I don't particularly care about its fate at this point.

Is this what happened to Rome? People just began to lose interest?

I'm slowly coming back, and horrified that we have lost our first place. We were like a million points up? What has everyone been up to?

Boo hoo?

I've been active. I finally got a suicidal research win in DL, upgraded my PC to 1 gig RAM, and have been playing DA ever since. That extra memory made all the difference in DA. Should have a Thalan conquest victory posted tonight.
