I think I covered this by posting in the other thread, just trying to play by the rules here.

I'd like join the MVL using my secondary character a.k. a. Captain Oblivious, that I use for fooling around and testing things.

Looking forward for a chance to try this out.

Just to give a heads up that for the next round (MVL round 10) I will be out since I'm on holiday for 3 weeks in July.

Very likely I'll rejoin for round 11.

EDIT: looks like I was still in time for round 10, thanks to Silverbeacher for reminding me!

I'm interested in joining the MVL. I have been playing GalCivII since it's release, but have just recently started browsing the forums. Until just a few weeks ago, I thought the Metaverse was for multiplayer

The character that I'd like to use is RhetoricalSun.

Nope, no multiplayer, which is one reason the MVL was formed.

We are currently only a week and a half into the current round (they run for about a month), so I think you should be able to join in immediately.

If the current commissioner, SilverBeacher, doesnt respond quickly, then one of us other League admins will assign you to a team.

Check out the Round 10 link for the round settings.

Welcome!

Sentient species taste better...

Great to have you on board with us RhetoricalSun!! Rather unique Nic too.

I'm glad I can play a part

This seems to be a lot like the GOTM for Civilization, and seems to be a fun way to get pushed out of my comfort zone.

I looked at the settings for Round 10, and I have to say that I had quite a shock. I have never had a diplomatic victory before (I usually do conquest, or if I get lazy, influence), and have never played on a map set up quite this way. I usually go for abundant on everything

As for the nickname, I can't claim full originality. It's actually the name of a color of a solid surface counter-top product that I use at work. I would love to meet the guys that come up with the names for color

LOL that's awesome! is your other character IronicMoon?

@ IronicMoon!

I haven't given thought to a second character yet, but IronicMoon is now on the top of my list for names

works for me, just avoid ConjunctionJunction. i think it might be taken.

...

neilo you might not get that. Conjunction Junction was part of a series of saturday morning public service ads run in the 80s in a vain attempt to make up for america's pathetic educational system, teaching children about such basic things as grammatical conjuctions and the number 3. you know, because who needs teachers anyway. examples:

Conjunction Junction

Electricity, Electricity

Three Is A Magic Number
(they also apparently endorsed paganism vis-a-vis magic).

Three is a Magic Number

I didnt remember that one at all. Even watching it, it doesnt ring any bells.

they also apparently endorsed paganism vis-a-vis magic.

I didnt notice anything in regards to that, but really, that should only annoy you if you believe magic is real.

And you better not disagree with me, or I'll put a hex on you...

Sentient species taste better...

yeah there were a bunch on there i didn't remember.

gripes, if the 80s didn't prove that cocaine is bad, i don't know what would.

The haristyles?

Welcome to RhetoricalSun to the MVL.

I have randomly assigned you to a team...and the winner is....Team E, the Eternal Villainy.

Neilo is the current captain of the Villainy and will be along to get you all set up on Team E's private team forums and such.

Have fun and enjoy your time!

If you have ANY questions AT ALL, please feel free to ask your teammates, myself, or pretty much anyone in the MVL.

Is this for 'good' players only or can a 'noob' join as well? I've played the game since its release but never on metaverse and i hardly ever finish a game because i'm never really satisfied with whatever galaxy settings i choose, so i usually start a new game instead of loading up an older one. So i thought this might be the right thing for me as the settings in the MVL are predefined - plus with the teams and stuff, there's a real 'reason' to continue and finish a game. This probably all sounds stupid but that's me

So what do you think?

Sweet! I have a team now! And my team leader is the man with the big black hat (or is that an afro?)

I guess now is the time to start working on my first diplomatic victory >_>

i don't think it sounds stupid at all; in fact, that's very much how i was before starting to play in the MVL. so let me be the first to say, welcome aboard! Silverbeacher should be along some time today to also greet you and assign you to a team.

cool!

but i think i'll have to wait till monday for stardock to delete my character - i accidentally entered the serial of the original game when creating it, instead of the toa serial... does anyone know if that matters?

i don't believe it should matter. AFAIK they're actually the same basic serial number, with a suffix to identify which version of the game it is. that shouldn't matter at all for creating an MV character. i know i created mine with my DA serial, but i've been able to submit TA games without having to make any changes and updates.

also, you're allowed to use whatever version of the game you prefer in MV games.

nice, thanks for the fast response

I'd please like to join with my character "CitizenOfThePlanet"

Now I just hope my game won't crash as much on a small map

(really annoying if you have to restart the game every few turns)

hey zerodexter; im in the middle of getting a roll call for the MVL; i will get back to you either tomorrow or Sunday

no hurry

Great to have you with us in the Eternal Villainy RhetoricalSun!!

We have our team thread over at the Tyranny of Evil forums here.

Look forward to seeing you over there!

hey Zerodexter; sorry it took so long to get back to you- i have placed you on Team B "The Bladerunners"; JustinSane4 is your captain

good luck this round and welcome to the MVL
