G.R.O.S.S. communication thread.

Cringe in fear do gooders. The G.R.O.S.S. (Get Rid Of Slimy alienS) empire is now formed. In less than an hour we have jumped 95 other Pacifist Doo Gooder victim empires and lept into 40th out of 135 ranked.

We are an evil empire bent on controlling everything and showing all the other empires out there who's boss. US. Are you listening Euro-"Oh lets let everyone be a senator and give em a vote doo gooder democracy alliance?" We come for you.

For a limited time, (untill I decide otherwise) 5 Pure Evil games, (or just impressing me with your game evilness) submitted will get you a Senatorship. Later, being the evil empire pyramid scheme we are, it will take 10. Of course, being the evil empire we are, that gives you no benefits, no pay, but all the alien carnage you crave most.

Now we do realize that sometimes, you just have to fake being good. You sometimes just have to infiltrate that pacifist party. We understand. But we aren't a kinder gentler empire and don't let their pacifism go to your head. And just sometimes, you gotta let the Aliens live (where else would you find slaves for the heavy metal lava mines?)

In the future, we shall update each other in the empire via this thread, brag of our conquests, drink blood wine, and generally just poke fun (creatively and humorously) at those players whom we find to be too goody goodyish.

Our mottos.

G.R.O.S.S. Where being good is merely a temporary strategy.

Just win baby.

Here's your ration of skin you do gooder wimp Drengin slime. Now get back to work

EBZeroMatrix you have been made a senator.

I repeat. Cringe in fear, we come for you.

Don´t have SDC, but I will keep posting here.

Patched up to 1.03, started my 4th game with the following conditions:

Universalist, 5x Diplomacy, 4x Research, 1x Creativity (don´t know what Creativity does, but even if it does nothing, my strategy is robust enough to survive 1pt mis-placed :) )

Medium, Tight, Occasional; all Winning Conditions enabled

5 opponents, all Intelligent, standard personalities

With this setup, I have:

Diplomacy +70
Research +30
Creativity +25
Luck +25
Defense +10
Pop +10
Econ +5

My game plan is totally simple, as always: Keep the Aliens at each other´s throat, while slowly building up until I am invincible. :)

In the meantime, a hearty welcome to our new members.

G.R.O.S.S. is going strong, join us now, because, once we are #1, we might consider changing new membership to invitation-only, so it might not be so easy to join us in the future. :)

Welcome to G.R.O.S.S. Welshman and Azog. You two seem to be getting off to the right foot. Just keep them points rackin up and them evil games going, and we'll be #1 in no time.

On a note, I will continue my game, ETA to the meta is about 12 hours....it'll be there soon I hope. And Pontius should be back soon.

Die of boredom? I tel you what is REALLY boring: a thread composed at 99 percent of PontiusBruinPilot postings. Do you actually talk to yourself while typing? I thought you were meant to come for us....you are nowhere near....good luck.....

PS: we have even more evil guys in the Alliance, I've been loking at the scores....cruel ones do not need to trumpet the evil of their actions....


Shouldn't you be getting your Le Car out of the shop impune?


Don't look in that mirror of yours (assuming it hasn't fallen off yet) You'll see our Monster Truck about to crush that Le Car of yours filling it up.
#10 in less than a week. Your empire has around quite a bit longer.

Don't look in your rear view mirror that way it will be a suprise when we overtake you. The aliens are the least of your concerns.

Surther: Stop being a pablam puker and complimenting our empire by your giddy "Oh we want to pass you posts" Flattery will get you nothing here.
Oh ye of join me merely because you live here fame. Yawwwwwwn. You are obsolete in the new order. You regional empires shall go the way of Yugoslavia. No real unifying force.

Get Rid Of Slimy AlienS:

Oh and if you pass us for a short time, tis no difference. You will be steamrolled soon as you get into phaser range. Now before I turn in for the evening, I'm sure we have some parting gifts in the back. Ahhh yes. Here's some Torian Sushi. Most delicious.

G.R.O.S.S. IS #10!!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!! (On top of that, once the galactic map gets updated, we'll have given Fnord Empire the boooooot!)

More news, welcome our newest member, MythicalMino! :CONGRAT: He seems a little on the low end on the scores....but sounds promising to come up to speed with a current game he is playing.

Other than that, I'm getting a slow start on my gigantic galaxy, but yet plan on finishing it this weekend :)

Keep up the wickedness guys and we'll be at our goal soon ;) .

Low end on scores is a temporary condition. It merely means they haven't hit a big one yet. It is inevitable. G.R.O.S.S. will own the Metaverse (pathetically lame attempts at smack from our competetitors notwithstanding).


More evidence of Goody Goody Bias on the part of the devs: Ever wonder why the Good research robot has a busty shape whereas the Evil research robot looks like a hag? It's a conspiracy. LOL

Also, making high scores more and more difficult to achieve is a conspiracy, designed to help the lame, old Conservative Empires, most of whose members have contributed their last game before Warp Drive invention. :D

Update of my current game: Going very well, nearly a bit too easy so far.

I control 1/3 of the map, have made a few *EXTREMELY* lucrative deals, and I have no enemies.

All the while, I am secretly funding the weaker side in every war, making them indecisively drag on, weakening all who are participating. :)

Keep it up.

It's only a matter of time before I win my game. The Kentucky Fried Drengin franchises have proven to be a huge cultural hit. I made a big mistake letting that speed inducing trade good get built by a minor civ. If they get killed its effects are lost. Now all our ships are slow. Pffft. Gonna take awhile to mop up. I'm busy destroying the Arcean's resource starbases and putting my own up in their place, then I shall smash them. That will likely end it and prove that I can be goody goody too satisfying a challenge presented to me.

I guess I should make a update as well.

The Torians are defecting in hordes to my empire. While one of their defected planets defected again to the I-League. My influence is 3 times larger than the largest AI's influence.

No wars so far. Only battles have been with prison cruisers. And the consensus says that I am the most powerful race ever. And I also control more than half the galactic resources.

Things are looking good. Either I will win culturally, technologically, and as a last resort I might win through a alliance.

The GROSS negligance of your actions towards the alien races will be your downfall! As we trample over the remains of your empires' ashes, you will understand the wrath of the MWC!

Wow. Seems the Altarians love Kentucky Fried Drengin too. They are deserting in droves. It's candy to them. The Arceans love the Torian Sushi. A win is close. I drove a military wedge right through the heart of Arcean space. Now for a few more KFD's and a couple of SushiHuts and poof, it will be done.

HMMM looks like during this post your mind was in one of its idle processes.

I'm sorry, but I can't believe that there are people in the world who don't want to just be kind and show love to everyone. (Although we all agree you can trample those Euro Trash). As a member of the Aussie Empire I just want to give you the Hand of Friendship.
