Message to you MOO3 multiplayers

Sollos · October 26, 2002, 05:30

I want to play all you guys. Win, lose, ally, etc., and have a riot. Everyone here will be a great challenge.

I have only one request from you fine folks. For the sake of suspension of disbelief, could you please, please, please use serious cool Scifi names while you play. I'm almost convinced everyone will, but I shudder to think MOO3 might be populated by emperors called FuzzyKill4$), ruling the dreaded empire of the Cybersloot Chickenkingdom.

Know what I mean? I kinda got weirded out by War3 when I was facing a mighty Orc army commanded by Meat*****21, and his Undead partner, Yummyballz.

Moo3 fans will be thankfully more mature in their reckless megalomania.

No such Luck!
Prepare to meet Flash Gordon Leader of the 'Doomed Empire' :P

Grumbold · October 26, 2002, 09:19

If you give yourself a silly name, you can pretend you weren't really trying to win if you get blitzed

moomin · October 26, 2002, 09:54

I play as Ming, emperor of Mongo.

Sarxis · October 26, 2002, 11:02

Anunikoba<---- FuzzyWumpkin, leader of the Quakers.

Sollos · October 26, 2002, 16:18

Scary, very scary, people.......

That's not fair. What will Ming have to call himself?

wervdon · October 27, 2002, 14:23

I can almost guarantee that Ill go by either Wervdon or Alderin

Both names I used on Darkmists. Wervdon my administrator name, and Alderin my favorite character. Neither are exactly sci-fi, but well, Im attached to them and they aren't exactly as out of place as FuzzyKill4$ either

Sollos · October 27, 2002, 16:06

Emperor: Sollos
Race: Meklars
Empire: The Core

Presumably, he can play as Rod, emperor of Banning.

Mr. Orange · October 28, 2002, 14:26

What are you saying? That as emperor of a galactic empire, my people will not shudder at the awe inspiring power loaded behind Grand Poobah?! :P

I like using the suffixes, "Combine" and "Consortium" in imperial names.

I can't wait to see two or three powers named "Klingon Empire" or something like that. Those people love to destory each other to be the "legitmate" of the name.

Sollos · October 28, 2002, 20:52

Lol, Multiple Klingon empires!

Hey, I love the 'Combine' terms. Remember the Draconis Combine from Mechwarrior?

Moomin, I just noticed your sig with reference to David Irving. Not sure I understand your slant or supposition involved in the sig, but any reference at all to David Irving is very disturbing. He is quite possibly the most malicious historian around, proven in many cases to invent footnotes and falsify sources to forward his pro-Nazi stance.

vmxa1 · October 28, 2002, 21:21

I told him long ago that the 900,000 was a joke.

SeanV · October 28, 2002, 22:45

If it turns out that MOO3 is worth the $50, would you guys mind if I joined in these early, history making games too?

Just as cannon fodder (I absolutely stink!)

Atragon · October 28, 2002, 23:21

Same question, but with me instead of Sean

Absolutely! I think that's where I got the love for the name. I always throught it sounded very industrial/steampunkish.

Thank you for your information! I would never have guessed unless you had not thought fit to inform me...

Main_Brain · October 29, 2002, 18:17

*neef* do I smell Irony cooking?

Sollos · October 29, 2002, 21:12

I was sort of thinking you already knew about Irving, but since BS is rampant on the net, I'd just wanted to make sure. And to protect the younger folks from absorbing crap.

Ever visit the Pravda political forums? It's one of many boards where historical inaccuracy and disinformation seem to grow like a fungus in a warm shower stall. Irving is often quoted there, and impressionable rebels buy it.

vmxa1 · October 29, 2002, 21:36

The universities are only slightly better.

Sollos · October 30, 2002, 00:36

A bold statement and I won't argue it. Were you in classes where information was distorted in one way or another?

moomin · October 30, 2002, 05:18

There's a certian panache in cynism, right, vmxa!

vmxa1 · October 30, 2002, 13:36

You can hear the prof and read some of their work. They are use to being in an environment that is similar to a parent. They are seldom challenged and their peers agree with them, so they do not have much need to reevaluate there premise and positions. Very much like a tyrant. They do not have to suffer any counter perspective.
Yeah, I have become very cynical, life tends to do that to you over time.

Sollos · October 30, 2002, 21:30

One of my best history profs had a great sense of humour. He turned everything into a joke, enjoyed hearing all manner of opinions, and he wasn't afraid to go anywhere on a topic. He had a refreshing lack of political bias because he seemed to find everything equally funny. Biddiscombe, he ruled!

Whereas, I had this ultra-serious wretch who taught an upper level Weimar/Nazism unit. Ironically, he taught not too differently than the Nazis he hated. One goose step out of his intellectual line, and you were dealt with like a ubermensch. Someone told him to lighten up and I think he did eventually.

Then came my so-called 'English' courses hijacked by feminist totalitariats, some of whom were finally purged from the university.

Finally, the odd Sociology and PoliSci lectures which were thinly disguised anti-Western, anti-capitalist glorifications of Marx. They too were cleaned out.

It's too bad that universities are sometimes not places for discussing ideas, but for policing them.

Sikander · October 31, 2002, 02:42

This forum is veering way off topic, but I have to agree with the sentiments expressed. Moomin's sig is comparing a quote from one revisionist historian whose love for a vicious totalitarian system has led to his drumming out from the ranks of serious historians with a quote by our favorite local marxist on the off-topic forum, whose love for ..... Well, you get the idea.

Sollos · November 3, 2002, 02:31

I was not familiar with the chegitz dude. Thanks for clarifying.
