I implore you MWC members the time to rise up and represent your proud roots is nigh. We have now been overtaken by not only the scourge of the metaverse the GROSS pirates, and the goody two shoes wizards of the White Council but now.....the Eurotrash have also passed us in the metaverse. Will those pesky Canadians be far behind...I think not if this stagnation continues. We need to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and build ourselves up again and regain our pride. Represent yourself in this forum fellow MWC'er, let the metaverse know you shall not go quietly in the night!

And for the unaffiliated citizen reading this thread, join us if you to adhere to the hard working proud way of life that we so love. Not to mention our distaste of any empire that stands for thievery and evil such as GROSS. We need you to help raise our spirits and we are ripe for someone strong like you to rise quickly through our ranks to become of great importance. We shall rise to the top again, will you be a part of that rise?

The truth about Plephart: Look at his face. Chaotic evil. Last 8 submissions all evil. Now about that distaste? Seems to me your hatred of us has provided you with an increasing taste FOR evil my young grasshopper.

One correction about G.R.O.S.S. Methods are not important with us. Efficiency, is what counts in the end. Whether that be evil, good, or what have you. When all is said and done, any victory is better than any defeat. It does not matter how that victory is achieved. Evil is not required in G.R.O.S.S. So hop aboard the survey ship of doom. The Beer is on ice and there is plenty of it.

Sigh, I tire of correcting you old pirate....as I have said in the past, yes, I am evil in my dealings with aliens. But my personal alignment has nothing to do with the collective alignment of our glorious empire, which tolerates all alignments but endorses none. Your evil empire GROSS clearly endorses evil as more than just a way of dealing with aliens. Unless you're more the froofy musical type of pirates???? Any who doubt this statement need only look at the following link http://www.galciv.com/forum.asp?BID=GF&id=75130#75583 There you will clearly see that the clear majority of GROSS members are evil. Yes you may see that the majority of MWC'ers are good but as I say we endorse no alignment type. Read the GROSS threadzilla, evil is clearly their ballgame.

Stop denying your empire's evil nature and attacking the MWC's clear record of acceptance of all alignments. The intelligent citizens of GalCiv will see right through your ruse, you should at least give them credit for that.

I hate to throw something in one's face so badly but this deserves to be done..I now quote from Pontius's own words.

"Cringe in fear do gooders. The G.R.O.S.S. (Get Rid Of Slimy alienS) empire is now formed.

We are an evil empire bent on controlling everything and showing all the other empires out there who's boss.

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 motto.

G.R.O.S.S. Where being good is merely a temporary strategy.

I repeat. Cringe in fear, we come for you. "

Now I can hear the ol pirate saying already, but that was almost 2 months ago, we're a kinder gentler empire now. Well I'm sorry Pontius I don't buy it and neither do the self respecting citizens of the metaverse. The least you should do is take pride in your evilness but then again pride and pirating do not usually go hand in hand.

Cringe in fear do gooders. The G.R.O.S.S. (Get Rid Of Slimy alienS) empire is now formed.

Hmmm Did you not just say you were against good aligned empires two posts ago... HMMMM so if we're evil because of that, then so are you.

G.R.O.S.S. Where being good is merely a temporary strategy.

And so by corralary, is any other alignment. Duh.. Pull your head out of your rump and learn english.


Stop denying your empire's evil nature and attacking the MWC's clear record of acceptance of all alignments. The intelligent citizens of GalCiv will see right through your ruse, you should at least give them credit for that.

We accept all allignments as merely a temporary situation. As we have pointed out before, you can kill every alien on the board as viciously as you want to and be alligned good. Whereas, if you kill a few non-sentient worms along the way, OHHHHHH DASTARDLY.

When will you learn our position is that there is no true good or evil in this game. It's all evil. And your empire is evil too. You just cannot seem to admit it. You are a hypocrite. Your personal allignment shows it.

And here I am supposed to be the epitome of evil. Yet, I rate merely a 6th (untill my next submission) on the evil board but first on the neutral board)

Ooooops so much for your idiot smack talk now.

Speaking of inconsistancies, I see now you clowns are all huggy kissy and we take everyone world wide. Lets have a big world party group hug. You didn't start out that way did you? Heck no. You changed because you were hammerred over the head constantly by your daddies for failing to do just that. Glad to see you've come around on that one.


Your evil empire GROSS clearly endorses evil as more than just a way of dealing with aliens.


That is your only true statement in your entire driveling post. We do endores evil when dealing with alien loving empires such as the MWC. Why you traitors even voted us a worse enemy then all 5 alien empires combined. Loving Aliens more than rock solid humans. Yes that's good and glorius now isn't it?

Oh but wait... I thought you were evil in your dealings with aliens. Yet, your poll proves you love them more than we humans....Whom you claim to be riteous and goody goody toward. Now how's that for total inconsistency.

We at G.R.O.S.S. are totally consistent. Any human, is better than any alien. Consistency: the hobgoblin of poor Plephart's little mind. Awwwwwwww.


Do try harder. Looks like I am owning you in debate yet again. Try attending one of the many fine midwestern schools, then come back and try me.
I tire of debating with the witless.

Bottom line Pajama Paul. If you were a good empire as you claim, you would not allow evil tactics nor evil submissions. Evil empires like us, wouldn't care either way, which, we don't. And it seems as I am ranked the highest on the Goody Goody board of any in our empire, I am in for a G.R.O.S.S. ribbing now aren't I? It's all evil baby. The entire game. Every empire. The difference is, G.R.O.S.S. admits to it. You do not.

OH and Paul. Please don't take this as a personal insult. I am merely insulting your game character. How you choose to play, or argue on behalf of your game alter ego, does not reflect on you personally.

Goodness Pontius such a lot for you to write. I have nothing to say in response except to shake my head in amazement and disbelief. Anyone who reads your posts will see that you are the one who has resulted to name calling and taken this to a new level of stupidity....I am and have been clearly just playing the game and trying to play up your empires supposed evilness versus my empires intended neutralness.....unfortunately you do not want it to be that simple and must devolve this into a pissing match between us. Well you know what, you win, everything you have said about me is true, our empire is hypocritical and you are not, game over. We should all cower before you and never question a thing you say....hope this is all more fun to you.

Oh and just to make it clear, I am not taking this personally either, this is just my "character" writing after all....sigh. You have won the debate oh mighty pontius, I just hope it doesn't go to your head....whoops too late.

[Message Edited]

My goodness I go on a little vacation and come back to The Madman living in our string again. Pontius I thought we had a talk about this. Now go back to your string go go. Phephart he just doesn't get it. This is not a game to him. To his credit his intensity makes his string a good read for those who can follow his disjointed thread of logic. I personally gave up long ago trying to make sense of what he says, much less read his chapters of ranting. Phelphart I think you found the right aproach, just smile agree and hope he goes away.............Is he still there?? (:(

Your hope is mine, surther.

Like a dark plague over the plains of the Middle West doth the GROSS leader spread his stench. Even stretches into the sacred meeting hall of the White Council, creating a aura of evil where there was none before.

You know it is probably his evilness that has caused your morality to be neutral. While deep down in our own hearts, we are still pure, white, and good.

I believe him to be more insane than evil. Can you have a strickly Chaotic rating?

What is amusing is that Pontius is so wrapped up in his world that he is thinking up schemes for us. I hope everyone here is planning on having a good 4th of July weekend. Go out and see the sun (that big yellow/orange thing in the sky)) the sky that big blue thing outside your window)) your window that rectangular thing you blocked off to cut down on the glare on the screen so that you could play more GalCiv.))))

Oh please slurper. You know nothing about me. You seem to be the ones all wrapped up in your goody goodness one minute, then it's oh we don't care about allignment. One minute it's the midwesterners will rule, all others drool. The next its the lets have a world party group hug for all those with hard working midwestern values regardless of where they are from.

I mean make up your minds. Assuming you have one.

You're just po'd because I call you on your inconsistant stupidity.

Oh and this is a game to me. nothing more, nothing less. Yet you try to seem to make it more. And it's amazing how you always come with the crap when you're behind.... Waaaaaah crybaby losers. And it's funny you make all these flippant charges. Of course. you're well acquainted with them when you look in the mirror. Oh well. No skin of my nose.

Bwahahahaha all part of the master plan grasshopper.
Although grasshopper, just testing of course, tell me how am I supposed to force an allignment on someone? That part escapes me?

I'm starting to understand why the Threadzilla is so large...this guy just doesn't shut up. Ok just a quick refresher, we at the MWC welcome alignments of all types and always have. This is not in however a contradiction of our claim that we are a wholesome hard working Midwestern values empire. Why, because as Pontius himself as so many times (so many many times) put it, our game alignments reflect how we treat alien scum not necessarily our empirical neighbors. I think it has become abundantly clear that GROSS is an evil empire beyond their GalCiv alignments....they're pirates for Pete's sake. And as I have said before, the only good pirates I know of are in Broadway musicals. And regardless of our empire alignment, we really dislike GROSS and would love to see them fall in the rankings. So bottom line, you dislike GROSS and the senseless rantings of Pontius, climb aboard folks and help us dethrone them.

Hi all, just joined, being a midwesterner

Hi MWC'ers. Just wanted to give you all a reminder that G.R.O.S.S. is still severly stomping you all and that you guys aren't even part of the top three.

Have a nice day!

And regardless of our empire alignment, we really dislike GROSS.

Translated: "Pontius was right all along. I plephart am nothing more than a hater."

It's a sunny Sunday morning and I haven't slept all night. I need someone to sing me a lullaby. I know! The sweet melody of seething frustration always does the trick. Can I hear a few screams from the Midwesterners? Yes, that's lovely.

welcome aboard theempire we hope you enjoy being in the MWC we are happy to have you. I hope everyone had a relaxing 4th. I see Pontius is still raving, nough said. Anyway back to the drafting table monday (literally). I hope to get in a couple of games this week. Theempire make enjoy the reads on our homesite http://idle.thehueys.com/midwest. There's lots of good info there.

I think that's the problem - these midwesterners are still listening to Blood Sweat and Tears. Shouldn't you be listening to John Mellencamp?

Nice to have you with us theempire. Our empire is in desparate need of a spark to light our dusty grain silo aflame. Hope you'll be that spark. As Surther says check out our homegrown website for some great tips and strategy talk. Good luck and happy huntin.

Hey MWC...I just wanted to remind you guys once again, you guys still haven't made the top three, and G.R.O.S.S. is still #1. You guys really need to fix your internet connections or do something because you guys don't seem to be making much progress. Also clicking on that 'submit' button at the end of the game, when your score pops up, helps in getting your scores in .

Now I'm not saying you guys are stupid or anything, I'm just trying to help you guys out.

Have a terrific day! I know I will! LOL

Thx for the suggestion EB. Perhaps we'll take more of your advice and play like you and the other pirates as well. Attention all MWCer's we will now be playing beginner difficulty games and using cheese to max out our score and gaurantee a win every time. Umm never mind, nix that, I think we'll just continue to play for fun and keep it challenging by playing at an appropriate difficulty. Thanks anyways though eb.

Indeed I do play on beginner, yet I play on a difficulty level that's FUN for me. Thats what the game was for. It's not work. If you don't like it, too bad.

Deal with it.

Oh, and before I forget. Lest I remind you again that G.R.O.S.S. is still #1, and you guys still aren't anywhere close to beating G.R.O.S.S. From that, I guess I can somewhat understand your screams of fustration and hatred toward G.R.O.S.S. (or me, since I am beating you in the metaverse, as well as the rest of the MWC).

Have a good day.

EB if beginner level games are fun for you perhaps you would like to borrow my daughters copy of Chutes and Ladders. She is 6 and has found it is not challenging enough for her. But it may be perfect for you. Of course if that is too hard we could always lend you Candyland. LOL
