I just uploaded my Minbari files. Excuse me while I go find a bone to put on my head.

We're starting the B5 game today, right?

So what settings? I recommend at least 3 homeworlds, medium starting tech, and a somewhat smallish space...

Okay.

I was thinking, ten homeworlds to get the jump-start going even faster though.

Careful. Homeworlds in this mod are MASSIVE.

I really wouldn't go beyond 5. They literally are insane.

Okay.

I'm probably going to join as Raiders, or some other main race that hasn't been taken yet.

We've got.. lesse. Drazi, Vree, Raiders open right now. Someone get Kojiro to upload the Vorlon files, please, if he's serious about plaything them.

Me and my friends have plans to be in upstate New York from the 5th to the 8th. I might be able to avoid missing a turn if everything is timed right, but if not, please hold the turn on the ST game. You can let the AI do my turn in the B5 game, but it would just totally ruin me if the AI did something stupid in the ST game like declare war on one of the Federations.

Thanks, Brian.

Can't wait for the B5 game to start. Maybe this time me and Dalton will be able to beat the shit out of each other. :twisted:

So, shall I start an RP Thread? Nimune Starrider's Happy Funtime Story Hour (Today's chapter: How Valen earned his goatee.)

You can make a thread, so long as you don't expect me to post in it.

I'll post in it, at least until my vacation's over, but don't be susprised if I write something that's a bit off for B5.

It's ten o'clock. What's the story on Kojiro, Gups?

Can't Brian just add the empire and then Kojiro can join in and take it over when he gets his shit together?

I just checked, no. Well, since everybody is using stock races, I could create the game right now based on what I know. But I prefer not to, it'd probably fuck up a few things like people putting their names into their bios.

But the only person you don't know about is him, right? Everyone else has submitted, yes?

Kojiro would want his name to be Kosh anyway. They're all Kosh, remember?

For the RP thread, are we having a Babylon station to work in?

The story on Kojiro - we're in .au here, I'm at work posting in my lunchbreak.

He went to his GF's last night, so he's not at his PC to upload.

He's new to SE4 so he probably didn't realise he had to do anything before the game started.

PBW doesn't let me download all the empire files until everybody has submitted.

GuppyShark why don't you get his password and login and send his empire in for him.

Hm guess not sorry everybody gonna have to wait. I could start but there'd be no point, I'd have to restart again once everybody bitched about not being called the right name *cough* Captain Kirk *cough* :D.

<edit>Unless, you have his password and login right now Guppy and you can send it to me and I'll upload his empire for him.</edit>

Hey, I can respect Kirk a lot more than Captain/Admiral/whatever "Jeffery" what's-his-name. :lol:

Yeah well, you're lucky you have at least Kirk to respect. It looks like the Borg are knocking on your door. Trust me her ships can cream yours :D.

Looks like you shouldn't have dissed the werewolves so much. Too bad there's a rule against sucking up to mods, Dalton's going to impale your ass with mek'leths (and Kirk's too I hope haha) :D.

Bah, the Borg will have to go through a hell of a lot of hostile space either way to get to my stars. Besides, unless I misunderstand the RP thread (and I might, as the latest entry did confuse me a bit), it looks like she's gunning for you for some reason. Either way, my fleet's leaving your space like it's ass is on fire.

And Dalton's not an idiot. Why should he go to war with me when you'll pay him to go to war with the Tholians (Though I might add that I make more minerals from my alliance with Kirk alone than you're offering him) and fighting me increases the liklihood of you steamrolling him later? At worst, I expect him to accept your offer.
