Kzinti Empire - offical empire thread

By Posted November 15, 2007 21:29:55

You have dared to enter the lair of the most ferocious predators in the galaxy!

It is the ulitmate destiny of the Kzinti to conquer the other civilizations of the galaxy, subjugate and enslave any who may prove useful to us, and devour the rest. The Fanged God has ordained that this is how it will be...

In just 26 octals of days (7 months or so...Kzinti count in base 8), the Kzinti Empire rose from obscurity, to #1 on the Metaverse. With the blessings of the Fanged God, we have remained dominant for another 80 octals of days since that auspicious day.  We leapt past the other empires, and our mighty domain now encompasses over 21 million more light years than the second most powerful empire.  The most recent Galactic Map data shows that we have subjugated over 43.4% of this galaxy.  Many warriors from the old and dying empires have joined us, to avoid being eaten along with the rest.  We hunger to establish indefinite supremacy over all the inferior sentient species...

We have also been #1 on the AltMeta for almost 16 months running. The Empire grows more powerful with each passing day as new conquests are won, and more warriors join us in our inevitable rise to rule the galaxy!

The Kzinti are a species of bipedal space-faring feline predators, who love nothing more than conquest and battle. Created by sci-fi writer Larry Niven, the Kzinti have had many stories written about them, most notably in the Man-Kzin Wars series of books. They have also shown up in the Star Trek universe, and a number of other realities.

"Kzinti flesh has a very strong and pungent taste. The weak among us are devoured by their litter-mates within a few moons of birthing. Only the swiftest and most ferocious of us survive to their first naming-day. Those not fit to survive will never live to perpetuate their inferior bloodlines. This is the natural law of the galaxy." - Kzinti Warrior

"The meaning of life is the hot blood of your prey on your tongue, the meat that rends beneath your teeth, the corpse of your enemy left in the sun for the carrion eaters to finish, your defeated foe groveling in submission before you. That is what life is. We are the Kzinti, and we stronger, swifter, wiser, and more ferocious than any other race ever was or will be." - Kzinti philosopher

If your claws can grasp it, then it is rightfully yours. - Kzinti proverb

A salute to all those heroic t'kzintar who have made this empire a resounding success. Our conquests continue and the galaxy will never know peace!

Attention everyone, I wanted make a Metaverse mod, but I need permission to have people's empires included, cause I'm making all of the playble civs based on the empires by rank, you know 1-12.

Good idea Seth. [e classic]:congrat:[/e]   No permission needed really...go ahead and mod away@!

What is the capital of Nepal?

What is the square root of 49?

What was the second war fought between the U.S. and Great Britain?
What if you're outside of the US? I can tell you what war cost Denmark it's status as a major european power, and what two 'Reichs' came before Hitlers promised Third, but not the third question you asked (not without looking at the below posts ).

Good point MarkWarren.  There are alot of people from all different countries on the GC2 site.  BTW, I got 2/3 of the questions.  I couldnt think of the capital of Nepal. [e digicons]:S[/e] Generally I'm very good with that sort of thing.  Over at the Core I am generally running in 1st or 2nd place in the little daily trivia game.

I think what SB is hinting at is, you can edit a post that has been replied to now...er again.

September 24, 2008 13:23:03

I switched to another computer with a different browser and it does work.   Very handy!  People have been agitating for that functionality for quite a long time.  Thank you to the forum gods.

Editing is permenat! That's good news.

Here is a pic of one of the early conceptualization for the movie Cloverfield.  They really should have stayed with the original concept.

Now that's scary! [e digicons]O[/e]

Didnt you read that in the fine print?  I guess we can waive that requirement this time.   Welcome to the Empire and our thread Sole Soul!

Pfft, the creature would have never made it...you see all that water it has to cross?  And even if it did muster up the testicular fortitude to get wet, the military could have deplayed even it's west coast troops in the time it would take the monster to clean itself from the water in that bay.

September 25, 2008 12:07:22

@loup: BAH HA HA HA!

September 25, 2008 12:19:45

I could understand some more of it though.... if you remove the water-portion of the storyline.  Giant fleas or ticks could have dropped off it to attack the humans or even carry away excrement into the tunnels to 'bury it'.

The military's flame throwers woulda rocked it's world though...that and if it attacked on New Years Eve...it would be ALL over that shiney ball...talk about BAIT.

Cats are just too predicable to be scary monst....~jumps up to try and eat a flying moth and then is distracted by the spotlight on the building's side and tries to bite it too~

Conversely, if the creature had been canine, the picture would have had it either humping the statue or peeing on it!  [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

I would like to direct everyone's attention to a Metaverse issue that has been going on for a few weeks now.  Harborne, emperor of the Galactic Stargate Command was found to be cheating, by creating many fake characters by manipulation of game serial numbers.  Upon discovery of his cheating, he engaged in lying and an attempted cover-up, and also in seriously abusive behavior towards both players and Stardock reprentatives.  A short forum ban was imposed upon him a little while ago because of this.  There has been much debate and discussion about what, if any, action should be taken against this player and his empire to ensure that the Metaverse is a fair and level playing field.  If you take a look at these two threads, you can find out more about this issue:

Cheaters: http://forums.galciv2.com/310532/page/2/#replies  The posts regarding Harborne start at reply #48.

Freeman, I've stated my opinions pretty clearly in the two threads I posted links to above, and I'm going to keep my comments on the matter mostly in either of them.  I appreciate your opinion too, even though I do disagree.

I've finished the Geckodon ship stylefor the MV mod.

Now NP, I was wondering if wecan establish an alliance between both our empires.

September 26, 2008 12:20:43

the Kzinti don't have 'alliances' as such; just prey that they leave to eat on another day.   Take it as you will, but if they don't eat youtoday, well that at least gives you a chance to find a nice corner to cower in, hoping that you can escape the Kzinti's hunting skills
