Touché....

So, learning my lesson, I finished a new MV huge mumbler game this weekend, and made absolutely sure it was an MV game this time. Finished with a score of 497k! Now it's time to move on up to gigantic suicidal mumblers like the rest of you. Thanks for all the pointers on how not to waste a great score for your team by unknowingly dinking around in sandbox mode.

Hey, Neilo, what's a guy gotta do to make senator around here?

Well exactly what your doing mate! We are just debating as to what means to attribute senator status to the members. We're trying to make being a senator a bit more meanigful than it currently is. But dont worry though, your on the list!

Nice game too BTW. And you finished it very quickly!

Spectacular job CL! That's an incredible score, and you posted it in a very short time-frame. Great work (and I'm happy to see it's an MV score)!

You definitely get cool points from Piznit.  And some karma.  Because both of those things are valued like gold!  And by gold I mean Monopoly money.  That was handled by a leper.  And then sneezed on...but very valuable nonetheless!

mmmm lepar snot.

and yes imdeed, good one CL

Well shucks, thanks for the positive feedback! It's always appreciated

I just want to say thanks to Mumblefratz for his direct, and indirect (via the TOE site), assistance in learning me up on how to not just win, but win with a decent point total. Frankly, it's a lot more work than I want to do to go build a starbase array with 17,000 ships in it, but I've been using all the rest of his advice as much as possible.

The one thing I know I do differently from Mumblegod is I purchase a lot of upgrades via the leasing system and I think it really helps on the score. I didn't lease anything for the longest time but I learned via Mr. Mumble that for scoring purposes it's not how much money you have, it's how much is coming in every month.That changed my thinking radically. Buying things early on lease can really help your score, because the earlier you get a ton of ships and upgrade those econ and military resources the more impact they have on your overall score. In the words of general Nathan Bedford Forrest, you gotta "get there the fustest with the mostest!".  Besides, I like sticking it to Mitrosoft....sure their 20 year leases are ghastly expensive over the term of the lease, but who is going to take 20 years to win? I finish my games long before that, so on many improvements I actually pay less through Mitrosoft than if I had purchased it outright. As far as I can tell, it's speed, speed, and more speed that counts. Leper snot may also be important in the game, but so far I haven't been able to trade it for anythign useful to the alien cultures. Maybe we could swindle the Kzinti by telling them it's upgraded morale resource fluid?

or we could just pretent to be cooking with it, and then they'll want it no matter what it is.

Wooohooooo!! I just finished my first gigantic suicidal mumbler game with a score of 930k! I guess when you play the larger universes it really helps your point total. Abundant everything helps too, but makes for a long, long game.

That's awesome CL! Fantastic game and great score!

wow that's a very good score, let me be the first to congratulate you.

edit: or maybe i'll be the second one.

Well done mate!!!

Awesome score.

Welcome to the club.

Magnificent CL.   You picked up the Mumbler Strat a lot quicker than most of us, great work!

And finished it in about 1 week too....

Congrats ClanLindsey!  That is quite an accomplishment! 

Sentient species taste better...

ROFL LAMO+++

Hello

You have won this battle and the nightmares of this haunt us for along time.    

Hello GmOOnii! Welcome to the games!

Sororitas........is that something like psoriasis, only specifically for Kzinti?

Kzinti Patriarch, thank you for your congratulations. The respect of your enemies is the greatest accomplishment a warrior can hope to achieve and it is an honor to be recognized by the metaverse's greatest warrior of all. You are a fine and noble adversary, legendary in your prowess, gracious to your foes, tactically and strategically brilliant, and the nemesis of all prey species.

I hereby swear on my honor as the Hegemon of the Imperial Inquisition, that as my battleship lifts off from the smoking and crumpled ruins of your home planet, and as my ears ring with the lamentations of the Kzinti kittens we keep to populate our Imperial zoos (+5 morale, hehe), that I will inter your ashes in the finest pressed latinum urn our slaves can craft and give it pride of place in our Galactic Showcase. Our superior species will honor your memory, and grieve your passage as our finest enemy, until the heat death of the universe renders all dust.

With deepest admiration and respect,

Lieutenant Count Alejandro Montoya

We Geckodons only respect the Kzinti because they are a fellow warrior race.

I'm just out to chew on someone's carcass

Well done, clanlindsey!   

You're probably the first to have pulled off a successful mumbler that quickly after entering the arena.  And in what might be record realtime, too.
