The Hitchhikers of the Galaxy

from GalCiv2 Forums
I come here today to announce a new metaverse empire, the Hitchhikers of the Galaxy.

This is a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy themed empire and anyone is welcome to join, even if you don't even know what the guide is . In fact, the only requirement is that you have a sense of humour.



Join our ranks and become part of our community. Over here at the Hitchhikers, your more then "just another member". Join us now and together we shall dominate the metaverse! In those already large empires(Diplomats for example) there is no need for ambition as they are already in a secure position. Help us tear down the very foundations of these unworthy empires. Have your effort count for something and not just one of the many thousands of games in an empire where it shall be overshadowed by its age-long reputation weilding members. Help us dethrone them!

Anyone can join a super-power empire, but it takes a true imperial citizen to forge one. Help us forge this empire, and be that glorious senator!

You don't like the title? I don't either! But we're working on that...

Those top 10 empires have been sitting in those ranks for too long. Much too long... They shall fall and we shall be their successors...

How long have you seen those Diplomats or Kzintis or Hegemony-ions in those top ranks? You can join them but you'll never get the same kind of respect earned as you will helping build your own empire instead of joining a ready made one. Help us build YOUR empire where you can proudly say, "Come hail or high water, we shall not be surpassed"[this part bit too cheesy, me thinks]

For every galaxy you dominate is just another day for the one of the Galactic Civilizations but its the start of a new day for the Hitchhikers of the Galaxy... as the new rising champions for the metaversal throne!

Yes definetly a big welcome.

Started a new game today... with the new patch, things have changed... a lot. Have the largest population but probably the smallest empire, so who knows how things will turn out.

I posted a 20,000 point win. Horray! We moved up to 6th on the ALT META but are back to 7th. I am already in a winning position on my next game!

Good news, jangerel

Congrats on the win, and another potential one.

I have tried to get back into the game but the patch messed up the early game phase for me, so it might be a while before I post a game.

Lets see if we can give the big empires a run for their money

Hello. I don't think any of you know who I am. But I decided that I want to join your empire, so I did.

Towel. check
Bagel fish. check
And my all powerful book, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. check
Ability to post metaverse games. not check.....

There seems to be something wrong with my game and I can't post any game scores  , but as soon as I get it fixed, I will.

I already did, and I'm working of fixing it now.  

I once got a 59,000 point win, that was my fifth non-functioning metaverse game.

Wow, that is quite a score.

Hopefully you can fix it soon, best of luck in future games

I decided to join this empire after receiving the following update in the game:

"The Korx are pursuing a cultural and economic strategy. They are currently researching Planetary Bombardment, for instance."

If that isn't a sign to join the Hitchhikers, I don't know what is.


I have also seen sighns to join this empire.

Once, the Torians contacted me to give me a gift.
The message went something like this.

"We wish to give you a gift in our admiration of your culture", er...something like that.

they offered me 1 bc.

Congratulations all, we have overtaken the Qourth and are now in 6th place on the official AltMeta! Next on our hit list is the Tyranny of Evil, and 5th place.

Good luck in your games.

Whooo!!! I see a bright future for our hitchhiking empire!

I cant seem to get my game mojo back anymore, the new patch just makes me really annoyed with the game and I keep quiting and starting new ones. Wish mods worked for the meta... the game might be getting... boring

I tried again to read Hitchhiker's Guide ... same thing happened. When I get to the second or third chapter or about where Ford Prefect and the Earth get blown up by the Kolgons (or whatever) I just stop reading. Is there some kind of subliminal IQ test in the words or something?

I hitchhiked across the US three times in my younger days. Maybe that's why?

It may be hard reading because it was originally written as a script for a radio show and is not a true literary work. Try getting it on CD or tape. I borrowed them from the local library and listen to them on my commute to work and home. That's how I "read" them. The story made more sense and was more humorous with actors.

Welcome to the newest Hitchikers.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Posted an 80,000 point game the other day. It took me around three weeks to finish.

How do I get the Hitchhikers logo in my profile?

Welcome Kassad. If you mean this:


Then you should insert this code at the bottom of every post (there is no automatic way of doing it)

Code: html
