Yes, but there must be more emphasis on "almost" because nothing can be as awesome as Bistromatics and the Pangalactic Gargle blaster. I wouldn't mind trying either of those myself...>.>

It's good that there has been a lot of growth recently, shortly after posting here the first time I joined the HCH and AlexAtticus is a good leader, and he has Gondacor to look after. I think it is Gondacor anyway, his AAR.

Wow, we have so many members . I'd like to welcome LostHero and Commodore Drago to the Empire!

I agree as well, I'm sure it would be an enjoyable read.
I've also been thinking about doing an AAR, with a disctinct Hitchhikers's theme. Still working over the details in my head but it would be a game which I would post, win or lose, on the meteverse. Now, I doubt anyone would learn anything from my stategies or lack thereof - still learning the ropes. (Just finished my first challenging game - yay!)

But still, my idea was to customize all the AI's to fit the theme. There would be the Vogons of course, and the people of Krikkit, perhaps some hyper-intellingent pan-dimensional beings, hmmm a group of writers for the Guide perhaps..., and maybe we can throw in some of the other Empires just for fun.
I'm thinking my own civilization would be headed up by Zaphod, I mean, just as a figurehead of course. He wouldn't actually be making any of the decisions.

Any ideas?

Just look at THHGTTG Mod .

hmm, hadn't seen that. I'll check it out!

That mod is actually what started this empire, so enjoy

And welcome to all of our new members

thanks still trying to post first game.maximum speed has been dropped to 5 parsecs on gigantic map  

Quite the most annoying event in the game, thats why I stick to medium

This is the first empire I've felt compelled to join. I'm off to go whip some Drengin with my towel.

Awesome, welcome to Guide HQ

Heres your version 2 Guide.

Have fun bending space and time.

Next Friday, 25 May 2007, is Towel Day, the date Douglas Adams death is commemorated. Don’t forget your towel.

Sorry I’ve been slow posting my first Metaverse victory. I tried to start a game with the Oreans but got an invalid custom race message. After failing to fix it, I started a game as the Altarians (Hey! Why does this thing say I’m an evil cakewalk!? I’m not evil or a cakewalk!) A few other incidentals of living have also kept me away from the game.
Oreo became irrationally upset that I did not start a game as the Oreans, breaking things and insulting me. He did apologize later and gave me a box of nice neckties as a reconciliatory gift.
I discovered an exploit that I would like to share with my fellow Hitchhikers. In the current game as the Altarians, I forged an alliance against the Drengin, who were up to their usual antics. The Torians, Iconians, Drath and Altarians were all at war with the Drengin, with the neutral races providing support to the good races. The Drengin offered me a peace treaty. I am in the habit of collecting “war reparations,” so I rejected the offer. That’s when I noticed that the diplomacy screen was still up. So I offered a peace treaty on my terms: All his money and all the IP’s he would part with down to the last drop. I clicked send. When the transaction was completed I noticed the diplomacy screen was still up. I thought, “I can’t leave my buddies to fight the Drengin menace alone,” so I declared war again, all in the same diplomatic action. When the turn was over there was no report of the peace treaty or the declaration of war. I noticed that I did not lose popularity among the other races. I even bought a nice trade good.
I was doing this backwards before, making peace to get their money and votes and (because of that UP law) declaring war much later than I wanted to.
So there’s the trick. As you grind your enemy down, offer peace, bleed them and declare war all during the same diplomatic transaction before you click done. After all when you take their last planet their treasury and IP’s will just go to waste.

Welcome to the empire dmjordan!

Hm... interesting.

Never thought of doing that before.

I bet Kryo will be on this stuff like honey ready to report it to the guys upstairs

But, nice trick



No worries, we arent about the score, we are about the people and the community of the empire



all new chars get branded that for unknow reasons.

It's all a ploy!!! Don't take it!!! Don't!!! Oreo is evil, that's why you got branded, and I have the feeling that he is weak, and thus a cakewalk. though, you really should update the Oreans a little to make sure that they are a valid custom race to play as. Then, give them a gun and a towel, and send them off to war!
