hiz,
After having a few days of boredom without jack to do I decided to play a browser game i used to play a while back(stopped aafter it was responsible for me failing a test). I got rav and glad into it and formed an alliance, kthx.
Heres how it works; you are an upcoming emporer who controls a planet. You must build mines, get fleets, research and defend the place etc...
in each universe(there are around 30) there are glaxies and solar systems, etc... its all very interesting. In the other planets there are people(YES OTHER PEOPLE) xD The interesting thing is, you can colonise other planets, form huge alliances(official ones at that, they have their won pages n' all) and attack otehr players.
Give it try plz, me rav and glad are in universe 25, once youre in go to the alliance tab and join kthx
It gets really interesting after a while, when youre attacking people and colonising. (also they have a rule against bashing people too much and attacking noobs) So get in!!

gangrene and indri are on it too! These browser based games are perfect for a person bored at work

Awsome tell em to join the alliance
EDIT: EXE's in it too, hes in the alliance

Hey anyone with a bit more experience in this can tell me how long after account creation are you safe from attack.
I've had it about a day
I am atm focusing on resource production can i safely continue focusing on this or should i sacrifice it to just get a shipyard up early?

Atm
Metal Mine(lvl 4), Crystal Mine(4), Deuterium Synthesizer(3), Solar Plant(6)

am going for a robotics factory as build times are getting rather high.

dont go too early, dont know the exact time, but until you reach a certain capital on resources or somehtign
dont go shipyard much until you have a very good income

darnnn it....

I am really rolling in universe 22... started my fleets already... planning my invasions of other worlds soon... found a few n00bs with an alliance called BSG... 22 is deserted...

ya joined in 25 too after i got the summons... now building like hell... just built a shipyard... launching fleets within the week

EXE>> its seven days... seven days of (empire) creation

btw i just realised tht each time u click on the galaxy link and look around... u loose deuterium!!!!!

any1 knows anymore interesting stuff like tht?
