Re: The Frontier, a story

Too long dude
Too much has happened to list it neatly, but I've taken up cooking, apartment living, and I graduate next fall.
Because, you know. . . I need that history degree before we take over the world and all. . . nations submit far more readily when you have an Bachelors.
How about you?

The Frontier Chapter 1 - Pariah, Resurrection They did not die easily. They had hope.

Occam's Razor, I find, to be a rather unreliable defense. For example, you can see Occam's Razor arguments on both sides of many arguments including creationism... proving that, based upon how conditions are labelled and how many are recognized, one side or another can be seen as having more or less...

Re: Growing Galaxy
a suggestion to balance madace's idea for new players. Make it so that as long as a character is under noobie protection, that their costs for variable warp gates are 1/2 that of normal players. Should allow for them to go further into the frontier, and give them time to develop. So it's perfectly r...

Sounds good if they got an actual high-quality in game tutorial to go with them so they stand a chance when the "big dogs" go to eat their faces.

After 30 days or so, a bridge connecting ...

If we don't find a way to limit the holdings of empires, a few powerful corps will always end up owning the entire server.
