[quote]And as the retired Guardians' scores decayed, it would eventually become a real possibility. Did anyone think Theoden would overtake the Special Forces when he started out?[/quote] I joined in the middle of the hunt, so I saw it as a challange, but not impossible. But 10M seemed unbelievable once.
[quote]You would need more than just us. Maybe us + active Aldarians + Canucks.[/quote] I should have said us + active Aldarians or Canucks.
[quote]I mean, I wish I'd joined the Guardians because if I had, I'd now be in a good position to split you up and lead half of you away into my new empire. I don't think joining now would have the same impact. My objective has always been to find or build an empire which had some hope of overtaking the Guardians.[/quote] How counter-revolutionary! :D The problem is, as I pointed out before, is even if all the active Guardians left, the GG would still be in first at an estimated 10M o
[quote]I wish I had joined the Guardians now...[/quote] You still can :)
[quote]Yeah, but persuading the Guardians to leave isn't easy.[/quote] We are a younger empire and still have an active core, even if many have retired. If all of the active (submitted in last 30 days) Guardians formed a new empire, we would be in second place, just behind the inactive Galactic Guardians. But to the larger question, I would like to see some rejuvination of the empires and have some new ones out there shaking up the order.
[quote]Cool! That means you guys don't need anymore members![/quote] Need? No. But we always have maintained an open membership policy and new members are always welcome. :) And I really should stop doing this... your questions make it too easy to keep posting recruiting pitches. LOL Seriously though, I am happy to see new players join any of the empires. I don't want to see the empire aspect of the Meta fade away.
[quote]Over the past 14 days (well since I suggested the daily recalc) I've only submitted 2 games and my score has changed at least 4 times during that perion .. So I believe that the metaverse is recalcing regularly.. [/quote] You fit the pattern. You have games from July 03. I wish SD would come out and make an announcement on just what they are doing with the recalcs.
[quote]Pirates, Trekkers, Guardians? I thought you guys were all retired![/quote] Last time I checked altmeta, the Guardians were the *most active empire in the top 25. :) *Based on # of games and # of active players [Message Edited]
ED, timing is everything LOL LOL LOL
[quote]Hey, how come *I* haven't been actively recruited by any of the empires yet? I'll have you know that, according to this website, I'm the world's 1008th best GalCiv player!! [/quote] Well, you've heard from the rest, now hear from... Nevermind :) Come on over to the empires forum and check out who's around. Just about any of the active empires would love to have you, including mine. And if you don't want to join any of us, we like visitors just the same. Just
[quote]We'll look into this problem ASAP.[/quote] I didn't find any quests that came with the game, but there are custom quests that can be downloaded. I found out that the custom quests go in the exports folder as well. [Message Edited]
[quote]So it seems that recalc will occurs only during one month for a complete year for each user. Seems strange.[/quote] Or maybe once the threshold date is reached, they are recalced in each recalc session, but not before.
It appears to me that Stardock is using date of first game submitted to trigger recalc. The ones that I checked on as listed above all had first games of 10/03 or later, while those who drop seem to be the ones with July or Aug '03 games.

:notsure: My games :87 Evil + 5 Neutral + 11 Good = 103 Total. I have chaotic games included.
Did your UP pass laws limiting number of modules or banning terror stars?

Hmmm, the game count is strange, but I understand why the scoring might not add up. Say you had all of your good games in one month, then lots of empty blocks. It would be a much lower score than playing one good game a month filling each block. The square root function doesn't take as much away from you when they are divided up into good/neutral/evil, then the scoring is applied. I suspect the same would hold true if you looked at your games divided up by size (tiny/small/medium/etc).
[quote]I read somewhere that you need to add a folder called "exports" to Galleans Return and to the Elves folders to fix this. [/quote] Yeah! That was step one of the answer. Now my leader exports. Step 2 is to figure out where the quests are. When I try to start a new quest, there are none shown.
Sorry for going OT. Just needed to clear up that what happened to Shakaar is not the same as what happened to Loth and Renegade.
[quote]Oh, I meant 'you' plural. I have no particular grudge against you personally. When I finally crush you, it will mean no more to me than were I to step on an ant. I hope this is of some comfort to you.[/quote] Some small confort LOL
[quote]Yes, that light blue face is me grinning smugly at the thought of your imminent demise.[/quote] Anything personal, or just the target of the day?
They kept telling me about that pasty blue smiley…
That's great! Welcome back to the land of the living (or at least the land of the active)! BTW, you may want to post this and similar messages in the Star Fleet Empire thread in the empires forum. By agreement many months ago, the emprie threads are supposed to be allowed to die in the main forum. You can find the new thread here: http://www.galciv.com/forum.asp?BID=GE&id=132371
[quote]I did.[/quote] Why?
[quote]Adding political Machine forums [/quote] I wouldn't mind checking that one out. The offical one gets a little... rough. :p
[quote]Man I sure wish some of you guys would stop in at NeoTech and post these great tips in our strategy forums. [/quote] Have your crew come over here and chat with us too! :)
