Post if you're not a bot! (And how did you find us?)

I got 144 PMs because you mistook a couple of my interesting DLs (as opposed to the horde of asshattery currently being perpetrated) for cool people.*

Easy mistake. The keys, they're all like right next to each other.

[Buster's Uncle]

Those &^%$#@! keys!

Those &^%$#@! keys! 

Drunkle, you're all right

[Buster's Uncle]

I'm always right.

Hi.  I'm Ben.  I'm bad a video games but enjoy them anyways.  I had this game when I was in high school and played it a lot then and some in college.  I recently discovered GOG games and got the game from there.  I also got the Alien Crossfire expansion (it came together) and have experimented some with that.  I have yet to play an expansion faction but I've played against them (got my tail kicked by Domai in the middle game because I was arrogant) and I love the additions.  I could consistently beat the game on specialist but struggled on talent (sometimes but not usually winning).

My desires are conflicting.  I play the game as a simulation as I enjoy thinking about the society that I'm creating.  I dislike tactics or strategies that wouldn't make sense for an actual society to do (changing Morgan to green for example) but I also like winning.  I also am sure that I have a lot of room for improvement even considering my self imposed limitation.  Talent is more realistic (as far as the in game universe goes) but I don't win as much so I'm conflicted.  I would probably play Talent more if the computer AI wasn't so aggressive.

I found this site while looking for an Alpha Centauri wiki and I dislike wikia.  I registered so that I could edit the wiki to make it better (I hope) but I was encouraged to introduce myself here.  I think all of the information is there but it's bare bones and scattered.  For example there is no single page for "Terraforming" bringing all of the actions together, describing automation modes and options, discussing synergies and strategies, and an overview.  I might not actually make any changes but I wanted to ability to and for those who manage to wiki to be able to monitor my behavior and tell me to knock it off if I'm not actually improving it.

A.)  I like your avatar.

B.)  I always found the AC Wiki a little uncomfortable to navigate, so now I want to have your babies.  Please take that as encouragement to do some indexing and organizing.  We have a great wiki, but it's a work in progress that could be greater - that takes people bothering to work at it.

You're right that the story and personalities is the main thing that makes SMACX special, I think.

How do any of us know anyone else isn't a figment?

What search terms?

I honestly don't remember the terms any more. I think I was looking for SMAC strategies or something.

  Oh BUncle, BUncle, BUncle.....couldn't you, of all people, have found an image of a Star Trek character singing?   Futuristic microphone and all?

What?  Spock singing Bitter Dregs?  (Uhura singing anything seriously appeals, come to think of it - but I don't recall even Adam in Way To Eden using a mike.)

-I'm shaking it off, and I regret if you were exposed to a lot of eleven year-old girls last year.  Worry not; I will not be a pretty blonde pop princess forever.

Why haven't I seen you posting in the Star Trek thread in Rec Commons?

[Vidsek]

   Well.....I've watched most all the Trek series and movies, but I'm really more a Firefly/<insert long list of other cool SF shows here> sorta guy.   And spent years in Star Wars Galaxies until the filthy beancounters at Sony pulled the plug on it.
   I did read your post on why the pic of Ms. Swift, but perhaps.....a little graphics mod for some green or blue skin?  How's that sound?

How about everybody be cool until I've got th' Swifts outta my system.

Hello all. I am indeed not a bot! (Yet... why must Cybernetics be so far up the tech tree? )

I found the forum searching for SMAC mods, and this seems to be the home of the awesome Yitzi mod, which I'm having a ton of fun with
