News and other tidbits about the upcoming mod for Galactic Civilizations 2 TA, "The Bringers of Light."
Published on March 31, 2008 By DSep In Metaverse

Welcome all! The Galactic Senate will be our new meeting room to decide on metaverse matters! This means that this is it's sole function...for now. This may change. This is not a slander thread like the Galactic Council one. There is no tolerance for profanity and swearing.
The leader of the senate will be voted upon once every 3 weeks! When the leader's term is up, he may be elected as many times as the voters want...unlimited! You may vote for yourself!
If the leader of the Senate does something inappropriate on this thread, then he will be immediately ousted and his throat will be slit with a razor. Then we'll rip his heart out and "The Legions of Darkness" (The Raiders special forces) will feast on it!
To be elected, one must have at least 12 the most votes! You may only vote for 1 person each ELECTION!
All issues must be brought to attention by either a senator or overlord of an empire! A citizen may bring up an issue, but it will not be voted on until a senator or overlord formally proposes it. To be considered a senator or overlord, you must have at least one other person in your empire besides yourself and you must have senator status!
That's all there is to say....now let's get started!

AMENDMENTS:
1. Anyone who is a senator in more than 1 empire counts as 2 votes but NOT 2 people! If you wish to be counted as a "Super" Senator, you must send me a PM telling me which empires you're a senator in.
2. The leader of the 1st place empire counts as 3 votes!
3. Free beer for all in attendance, but not to excess.
4. To pass anything, it must receive at least 12 6 votes, but if the nos outweigh the yeses, then it does not get passed.

Current First Place Empire Leader: Kzinti Patriarch

CURRENT SENATE LEADER: DSep

NEXT ELECTION: Whenever I decide...but i'm a dictator, so i proably won't.

-Dave

Long Live The Raiders

I'd say that sleeping dogs miss it when food goes in thier dish, but that would be a bold-faced lie.  We hear that shiznit in our sleep, just likes cats and a can-opener.

Ok...ok.  I'll vote to allow CaptainYar to give 800bc of his money to each of the minors as a gifts of good will as long as he makes sure they know there is a seat for them in the gallery.

Is that a good enough compromise?

Excuse me, just seeing what gives with having a banner.

How do you get the other info on this thing, but still have your best ranking shown?  Good grief....

Well, sure, but then they'll be majors and could give the money back to me, cause I'll be poor. lol

What do you mean by "other info?" Those auto-generated banners were one of the more clever things I thought Kryo came up with when he built the AltMeta. You've got your best ladder rank, your point total, and the number of games it took you to get those points.

When some of us were in active booster mode for the AltMeta, we added a hyperlink to our banners so anyone curious about the full record could get to it in one click.

Thats pretty cool.  And no offense was intended. lol.

 I L VE the way the banner is.

 

So do you visit the altmeta every time you want to have yoiur banner displayed?

And I'd hate to ask how you do the hyperlink since I can't even seem to get a picture posted on a forum. Yea I know, use Imageshack. But I still can't get it to work.

I have the tags in a text file with a bunch of other strings I use regularly, and it's been so long that I forgot where I got the basic image link for my auto-generating banner. Try changing my 12279 to your character number (14152 for Yar 2600) and it should work... (You need brackets in the real code, I changed to parens to get chars instead of another banner.)

(link="http://altmeta.kryofx.com/char/12279")(img)http://amcore.kryofx.com/sig/12279/2/8.png(/img)(/link)

The img tag should let you include any picture for which you have a valid URL in your posts. It doesn't matter where you host them as long as an HTTP server knows where they are and you know the server's name.

If you use FF get an extension called Clippings. It intergrates into the right click menu and when you right click in a field you can select any of the text inputs you put in clippings.

GmOOnii, the Mililitary-Solar ladder ranks people by war wins on the smallest maps. The AltMeta scores for your older Immense map games are aging out (that happens more quickly at AltMeta than the official MV), so your rank in All-Universal (your second banner) will keep declining until you post another game on one of the largest maps.

There are lots of questions and answers about the AltMeta in the AltMeta Help Desk thread.

I someone wants a subject to keep this post going for a while I reckon we should discuss community events. The metaverse holds a series of events, like the ship designs and ARRs along with a few inconstant events, but they lack the effort to bring a community together. Right now we have a rather loose community. people finding a little group to chatter with and occationally moving into someone else group to have a chatter with them.

We need some simple yet community binding forum events that will unite all these little friends groups and keep people interested and active. I am currently running 2 events myself as an effort towards this goal which I assume is in common interest with everyone else on the metaverse. both have been highly sucessful and brought people together, I People are eager to share and talk, give advice and creating a clever text response or picture which people admire. Not to meantion the humor and funny we are having is extrodinary.

The Sucessful posts:
The 1-1000 Number Game
PRESENTING... YOUR FAVOURITE STARSHIP

I'd like to perhaps start a post somewhere on this site that can be actively maintained to show a description of every thread support community activities so that everyone can have a constant up-to-date link with every event that is happening. My reasoning segests that this will motivate people to actually stay active and in the process get to know and become friends with everyone on the forums. This will ultimately bind us together making everyone feel more comfortable and at home here. Not to meantion newbies would also feel much more welcome and thus be more likely to stay because they don't feel out of place.

I know it's alot of reading here, but I think it would be a good idea. If you guys support this I'm willing to go through with it and organise the post that will keep and up-to-date record of events for people to participate in. I'd expect people to be eager and paricipate by posting an event of their own aswell.
