Octavians Go to War

Loyal citizens of the Empire, the time has come to once again spread our glorious influence throughout all of the known systems.

I have ordered the withdrawal of all our diplomats from all factions. We will now negotiate with our guns and our missiles. The weak will die, the strong will destroy them...and WE ARE THE STRONGER!

Blow them from the stars, take what is rightfully ours, and when our glorious banner flies from the capitals of the other mongrel factions we will use their bones to build temples to our greatness!

CONTEGO OCTAVIUS!

Is Netdevil just trying to push everyone out of Jumpgate Classic by giving people an excuse to fire at civs with no interest in PvP? I don't really follow the story line, so I could be missing something here.

What's wrong with shooting enemy civs?

Actually, from a certain perspective, a reduced number of civs would be good. The Mil/Civ balance is completely out of whack -- thus destroying all hope of meaningful economy.

Ratneck

I didn't say there's anything wrong with it. I don't understand the reasoning behind it.

Ambrosius

The rationale is that this is a (very) quick and (very) dirty attempt at backstory to explain why the War Meter was "manually adjusted."

*YAWN* Maybe tomorrow, im on break for the rest of today.

Ambrosius

As far as I can tell, there is (unfortunately) no story arc or RP embedded in this. It's just a post to explain the manual adjustment to the War Meter.

Istanbul

Maybe he should've just made a post that went "Arrrrgh!" when he made the change.

For a website spawned from the love of Jumpgate there sure is a huge amount of hostility from it's ex players.
You would almost think you wanted it to fail. You don't have fun playing it anymore, so you would be glad if everyone felt the same.

I don't care how anyone else feels, I'm just bitter they said Jumpgate was going to get a graphics update and then they changed their minds and started making a WoW clone.

That and I like arguing

Hey Jump, how come Jumpgate TRI News does not go to the front page like Jumpgate Evolution News?
