Surprised that I beat KP to it, but you should join Tyranny of Evil. We're a small empire of about 50 members that's currently in 2nd place to the Kziniti Empire which has about 450 members. What we lack in quantity we make up in quality. We also have our own website along with both public and private forums where we discuss any and all aspects of the game. Check us out at http://www.tyrannyofevil.com/.

But actually it's all in good fun and most MV players are friends with most other MV players regardless of which empire they join. Kziniti Empire is clearly an active empire and it's hard to fault someone for deciding to go that way.

There are a number of empires that are high up on the list but are pretty much defunct. The Diplomats (my original empire) has a bit of life left but most of the more active players have joined ToE. The High Command Hegemony, BC Space Orcas and The Overmind are all old and essentially defunct. Hueco Mundo is an empire created by a player that has since been banned for cheating so you should definitely avoid that one. The Gerontocracy and Gekodon Alliance are good solid folks. The Klingon Imperial Empire is a new one that I know nothing about and that rounds out the top 10 empires.

Even if you don't join stop by the website and check it out.

I just took a quick look at the ToE website:

That is an AWESOME website ~ Very creative.

Nice job Mumblefratz.

Like you Cypher I am also new. Puts us in the same boat really. I have to admit I reckon the Tyranny of evil deserves first place. 50 members are in heated competition with 400 and doing exceedingly well in comparison. That proves that the tyranny are both committed and determined. One day they actually may pass the kzinti with flying colours. If they get more committed members they may just be able to pull that off.

You know what i'm hinting, we could be those couple of member that make a difference. Once my game arrives I know who i'm going to join, hope you join too.

Talesine:

I understand what you're hinting at, and yes, theToE are pretty much at the top of my list of possible empires; I just don't want to rule anyone out yet.

If you go to the Metaverse home page, http://metaverse.galciv2.com/ and then under Account select "Edit My Characters" it will show you your currently defined characters. It seems you have setup a character and you have space for two more characters.

To the right of each of your characters there are three buttons, "Edit Player" allows you to change the character name and logo, "Clear Scores" let's you essentially reset a character and underneath that is a blue button that can sometimes be hard to see labelled "Default". Given that you're seeing something under your posts that means you must have pressed the blue "Default" button next to your General Cypher character. In any case once you post games you'll start getting more medals.

The Default button allows you to select which characters medals are displayed with your posts. Once you hit this button you can change your default character to another character but you can't ever delete the fact that one character or anothers medals will be displayed with your posts. The thing is that even if you have no games at all you still get some "default" medals although I'm not sure why you're getting the alignment medal. Usually for a "blank" character you get the cakewalk medal along with and empire medal if the empire is in the top three.

Take a look at my profile for example, http://metaverse.galciv2.com/?g=sdnetaccount&acid=2547964. I've recently reset my long time character (Mumblefratz) and currently that character shows only the cakewalk medal and the ToE 2nd place empire medal. Once I post a game to that character I'll also get the former 1st place medal since that character had at one time been the top MV character.

In the meantime I simply set my "default" character to Toshiro Mifune where I have the only DL game to ever reach 1 million points. There are a number of DA games that have been over 1 million and there has also been a single TA game that achieved over 1 million as well, which happened to be posted by another ToE member (Magnumaniac), remember quality not quantity.

In any case the purpose of MV play is to have fun and scoring high in the MV is fun to some but not everyone has to see it the same way. The bottom line is that the ToE has some of the top players in the game that are willing and able to give you some great advice to help you achieve your goal whatever it is.

Or eat you.

Depends on what time of day it is.

I don't recall scoffing at anyone. Although I do recall giving pretty much everyone a plug.

If I were to scoff it would most likely be directed at weaklings who felt the only way they could participate is to jump on the bandwagon long after it's left the station. But then what would you expect from a bunch of former Orca's anyway? 

I do the same thing, anyways have fun.
