BAM! military victory. this should be fun. though, i was just starting to get into morrowind. guess that'll have to wait (though, one wonders about the capabilities of his new computer).

Thanks, I overlooked that one  :p 
The "Citizen" one is the correct one. Next time I'll name myself Noct, should be easier :)

I'll need to do this better next time. This one was just for training, and I also needed Drengin for racial victory.

unh...Iztok, i'm going to guess that is just an EXAMPLE game that you are showing us right? we get...antsy...when games are posted in the Round Thread...start thinking they are official submissions and whatnot (not that i would complain about that game, personally)

Wait wait wait... military conquest? On a tiny galaxy??

OH, oh, can I play too? Where do I sign up?

You can always PM me the details I suppose if this is the wrong forum.

well let me be the first to say (unless someone else is typing right now...grrr) that it would be awesome to have you in the MVL...now all it comes down to is convincing you to stick around after the round is over.

Wyndstar!!! Great to see you interested mate! The MVL is right up your alley. Posting in here is fine mate. I will get you assigned to a team in a few moments. Make sure to have a quick read through our OP of the Metaverse League thread, and check out the MVL Rulebook thread too mate.

Again great to have you with us!

Yes Iztok please clarify whether that was intended as an offical submission. We have had to hold folks to this in the past when they didn't really intend it to be.

Even with the "just for training" line it still could be taken as official.

Here's a for real submission. I tried to figure out whether date of submission to the forum made any difference toward bonus point calculations - I have to admit that the hundreds of posts on the subject made me a little dizzy. Still, I don't think I can really beat that score in the first year of a game, so here it is:

I think the "just for training" was enough to dennounce the game as official, but clarification sure would be fine too.

Wyndstar, i have placed you in a team mate.....Blade Runners please welcome Wyndstar to your team.

Marshall is the Blade Runners captain mate, so he should pm you their private team password at the core.

Glad to have you with us Wyndstar and good luck!! Hope you enjoy the league!
Reply #22 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
Date of submission sure does count mate, average submission time, if your team wins it is worth 2 points, 1 point for second place. ;)
Reply #23 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
I'm no captain, but welcome Wyndstar! If you don't hear from Marshall soon, pm me for the core forum password.

Thanks for the clarification, neilo! Now if only there were a way to combine 0-year games with really high scores...
