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.

Robert L has met the autocriteria for Senator. I'll move you over as soon as I can.

Boss, glad you are doing fine. I already made him senator.

The ANZACs aren't much trouble right now, their sheep are more dangerous than their overlords right now. ;p We got bigger Metaverse problems then them at the moment. We got an army of Canadians massing that are a real force to be reckoned with, and the MWC seems to really be chucking a lot of missiles from that silo of theirs. Let's just say they got motivated...

Pontius has returned home. B'day party for the kid this weekend though with the relatives in town. Not much time for Galciv.

Some humor from the mwc thread.

"Meanwhile though, we'll be busy beating GROSS down and taking over 1st place"

Beating down must mean being behind us for over 40 days straight. LMAO. It just eats them up the best midwestern players are in G.R.O.S.S.

"I see the darn Aussie counterintel unit thinks they caught Pix of the top secret frog I was going to implant to ruin their entire ecosystem a-la the simpsons"

So, you're basing your battle plans on simpsons episodes? Well, perhaps you should remember everything you've learned about koala bears in the simpsons:

1) Your toad ruined our ecosystem, our koala ruined yours. But don't you remember that look in the koala's eyes at the end? He's EVIL, and you just pissed him off.

2) Remember that weird-ass prison Homer got sent to after publishing bs on his website? There were koalas with Dame Edna glasses running around there, and they weren't affected by the knockout gas. They would have got more disguised, but they knew a pair of glasses would be enough to fool the average american. :p

3) At nighttime in the zoo, the koalas are carnivores. They love the smell of blood in the morning - smells like... victory.


We have them on our side, and you threaten us with frogs? MUHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Hey Pontius and Gerakken, look at me! I've started over with a new name and alignment.

Pontius: its good to have you back! I missed you! Gerakken was filling in admirably in your absence until he got taken out by an exploding sheep. I understand that the current Gerakken is one of the doubles GROSS employ, so he probably won't post any more scores.

So after that last emotional weekend, only Staffa has disappeared for good! Work that out.

Sadly, Sergey seems to have retired as well, Drop Bear.

BTW, do you want to be addressed as Chris or Dopey Bear?

Well, that's the price they paid for putting on the One-Ring to get those top scores. They were consumed by it's power at the very end.

It's the Pontius Bruin against the Drop Bear. Oh My!!!


BTW, do you want to be addressed as Chris or Dopey Bear?

Ray: I was thinking Winnie the Poop.

I should come back as Misty Hymen. HEHE.

You wish. ;p And to prove it, new taxes have been paid. You just got to try harder, ANZACs. Afterall, I am the Ace of Spades. Woo hoo. I get the death card. :D

Hey, boss, they only want to take you out second. Are you being underestimated? ;)

Ahem. Methinks you are all under-estimating the ferocity and sheer horribleness of Dropbears. Clearly, a short holiday in Queensland would soon cure you of that misapprehension.

The One Ring did consume me, but after being seared clean, I am reborn and much calmer. Whilst your warm psuedonyms of Dopey Bear or Winnie the Poop have a certain charm, I have a small preference for Chris. Nonetheless, perhaps the circumstances at the time will attract the most appropriate name.

Gerakken, congrats on being married to that hot chick Galadriel. I didn't know that.

What the hell is it with these reconsituted identities? Where's RayCSB? And Chris - I don't see a Southern Cross next to your name....I don't want to think about you taking the name of one of our legendary marauders in vain....

I mean, even the sheep are getting bloody confused. I've had to reorganise the card deck and everything.

In the meantime, we have magnamimously decided to be content with the title: "Masters of the Southern Hemisphere" (have you heard from Africa or South America lately?). Half the world will do for now. If you have any problems with that, just drag your continent down to the Tropic of Capricorn and we'll sort it out. Right?

Is there some kind of door prize for the one who delivers the 1000th post? Or are they simply called "The One" from then on?

Nice Pontius. Just wanted to make sure you boys know there's some competition around these days.....now maybe you all will have something else to whine about besides metaverse scoring. (:(

Oh and you'll have to talk to Space Wombat and the other Aussies and Kiwis regarding the sheep, we midwesterners deal exclusively with cows thankyouverymuch.

So Wrangling is a metaphore!!!! I Knew it.

Actually you clowns were the big whiners. Probably why the two best midwestern players are in G.R.O.S.S. and not the MWC. Speaking of whining, how's the three most famous midwestern whiners of our times, Gephardt, Ashcroft, and Quayle, doing?

Pontius one signing off for awhile. Gonna relax and enjoy the rest of my vacation. Gunner Gerakkin, you have the con while I am away. Get us 3 more recruits if you can. The last batch you got turned out gr8!!! Of course with all the beer we took off everyone, it's no wonder.

Yes, boss. I am back on the job as of tomorrow morning. Don't worry about the competition too much. GROSS has always done its best work from behind.

Somehow, I knew instinctively that was true.....

plephart is strolling across the Ponderosa, blissfully counting and re-counting his latest Metaverse score...the hot midwestern sun beating down, making him squint against the sun as he finally finds a shady tree....he looks into the branches....and the last thing he sees is a great hairy brown arse falling...falling...fatally downwards.....[pphheewwwSPLAT!]

Thanks to Gerraken for the strategy suggestion. I botched the invasion slightly and it took about 4 turns to suppress the Altarians, but the attack was so overwhelming that I didn't need to even consider peace with the Torians.

That's one more win for G.R.O.S.S.

Unfortunately, the most scary force in the galaxy, my wife, has suggested I am spending too much time playing video games - so while I'm not going away - it may be a week or two before I post another game.
