A dark crescent moved across the surface of the gas giant through the viewport behind the Admiral. The Fortress fell into the shadow of the methane filled moon that housed the only activity in the system, lights flaring up to illuminate secondary docking arms. The Admiral didn't even look up from hi...

They came for the last of the humans before the dawn. A brief scream, the whine of blade and piston. And then, silence. The machines powered down and waited under blackened skies, encased in the cities they had destroyed. Rain leached colour from the world, leaving patterns of rust, mould and grey. ...

IIRC, when you got to the end of a game of Civ, it replayed the whole of human history on a big map with areas of colour denoting regional control. What about something similar when starting a new game of LT. The galactic map is already viewable, just have systems change colour as control is passed....

This time what I think happened is the squirrel seen my dog, went to turn around and run, and my dad's dog was behind him... That's probably the only scenario where the squirrel doesn't win. [old leather clad frontiersman chewing pipe] Now yungun, they say a dog can outrun a squirrel, and I've seen...

you get a thrill quoting some of the more incisive posts from the Great One.

They are great fun. I've currently sunk about 40 hours into Simulator Creator Simulator 2014, the models are not quite up to modern standards and it takes a little effort to adjust the sitting position to the correct posture to toggle the 'compile code' option but overall it's a laugh a minute.

I rarely post in suggestions and in general because I am aware of my inadequacy. There are posts on the forums that get into both physics and game design elements that I can't follow. But, I notice the user names. The bits that I can follow lead me to believe that there is a group of users here that...

You are envisioning a third party scenario editor than can play with the proceedurally generated starting conditions. That sounds like something very interesting and given the ease with which seeds can be shared, could allow an element of "Can you defeat the Buttercup Pansygirl League quicker than m...

If people are going to use vague thread titles, then multiple threads will be spawned. Precision is the name of the game here people. "Happy Christmas and New year to ya all." - you shouldn't have to read a thread to understand its title and the least said about the "Merry Christmas" one the better ...

Hi Josh, Didn't pledge to the kickstarter because you had well exceeded your targets by the time I got there, learned of it from the Infinity forums. I am sorry I didn't throw money at you. When the time comes, you will have money from me. If for nothing else than the excitement I've had reading the...

Three days without posting in thread
Gives the impression that perhaps it is dead.
Creative writing is still very busy
With replies both on topic and witty,
Posted in 4 word story instead.

When mired in a web of intrigue,
When the stakes deal the side that will bleed,
It don't matter who's boss
Just make sure you don't cross
The Buttercup Pansygirl League.
