hi thank you for letting me join. Took some time to find the astro empires thread hehehe. I think Bismarck got me good at the start of server I was in two guilds and they both fell a part. So thanks for having me and lets have fun!
Welcome to the forum! You might be about to become very disappointed, I think.
Oh? Why is that?
You're welcome to stick around anyways, though.I was in two guilds and they both fell a part.
Oh no! This is the 3rd guild I join and is falling a part? I am cursed
Sorry. A number of us just weren't finding the game to be any fun. I think some people might be toughing it out, though.
Do you know how many are going to keep playing? The other guilds are so big in the area and I don't play as much as they do. I think I will just quit too.
This sword & sorcery game looks like it could be fun, give it a go?
In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
*snickers* So before I went out I downgraded all the economic buildings on my planets to non-existence. So they're all 0 Econ and I can't build up a bank balance, after I finish spending what I'd saved on fresh research, which might make it profitable to raid me. But I kept all their defenses the same. And now apparently there's a stream of messages from Borg and R-A players complaining about the over-kill defenses.
Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"
Poor, widdle babies.
When the stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?
This was about the same attitude I got from Random when I hit him before quitting. That he didn't care about his astros (then why are you pm'ing me about the ones I've hit, and racing to defend the ones I haven't?) because its all about "derbs", which he mentioned I couldn't understand because I was a farm, and that I was very bad at being a farm because my defenses were far too turtled. I have no idea what is mentally wrong with these people.
