Using DL AIs is unnecessary for a ZYW, of this caliber or any other.  It can make things interesting, but that's about it.

Negative balance is only worthwhile due to vast quantities of planets-it won't do you any good, score-wise, in the "classical" all-rare galaxy that most of us would associate with a ZYW-provided you can even get to that flip point, which is questionable to begin with.

As Forrest Gump would say, "That's all I have to say about that."

I dont know.  I havent been paying attention to overall character score.  I'll see what the increase is next time I submit a game.

Congrats SaintMina! :D

I think I'll just keep this thread.  I dont see any reason to make another post and have the info be more scattered.

It's time to party. :beer: :beer: :beer:   I just barely crept over 200,000 points in a game and surprisingly took Second place ZYW and Twenty-First from a brave warrior, Mottikhan but you can have back anytime you want. My Honor Guard pounds their fist onto their chest and does a Roman style salute to Mottikhan. :thumbsup:

My first DA submission. Obviously this is of the gigantic all abundant variety.

Well done Mumble!! (though i'd much rather see the ToE avatar nect to your character!)

I created my own empire awhile back when it looked like everyone had given up. I'm really not invested in it one way or the other although I have vague hopes of getting a single member empire into the 10M area which would put my one man empire in 3rd place (actually 4th place at this point but whatever). DA did join with one character and submitted a game under it but I haven't heard from him in a very long time.

All in all I wonder if the whole idea of separate empires is such a good thing. Perhaps things would have lasted longer if we all considered ourselves MV members as opposed to empire members. But probably not ...
