The Olympian Gods

Beware Their Wrath




Welcome mortal to Mount Olympus, home of the gods. I, Zeus, have allowed you to journey here to prove your worth and to see if you shall be allowed to join us in the control of the universe.

If you manage to show that you are worthy by achieving 25 victorious battles or 100,000 cumulative points than we have decreed that we will bestow upon you the Glorious Title of Senator.

Let all those that are in our presence tremble and despair. We threw down the mighty Titans and will Prevail in All our Doings.





Some Important Things to Know About This Empire

One doesn't need to be one of the Olympian gods, any character is fine!

This is an Open empire, so anyone can join. I will try to keep up with who is joining so I can send a friendly hello.

Hard work and perseverance pay off. I will award those that accomplish such tasks with a Senator position.

I think it is important and my duty to help new players and learn from veteran players. I promise that this empire is here for the player!

A Little About Your Emperor

SILVERBEACHER (Main Character: Zeus)

Born and raised in Michigan, Silverbeacher, or Silver as he is commonly called, is a college student at Purdue University in Indiana where he is majoring in Political Science and Pre-Law.

He first came into contact with the Galactic Civilization Universe in the summer of 2003, with the first game in the series. He found the game very enjoyable but never did partake in the original Metaverse. A few years later he came across the sequel, Dread Lords, at a local Best Buy, and began trying out the new and improved game.

At first, he never visited the website or the Metaverse, but one day, while seeking answers, he hopped onto the GalCiv2 website and the rest as they say is history.

Almost immediately interested in the Metaverse, he began looking for an empire to join, originally checking out both the Galactic Diplomats and the High Command Hegemony. It was in the threads of the HCH that he came across Neilo and MarshallONeil. Neilo had only recently left the HCH-which had become a very quiet remnant of its former glory-and had formed the Tyranny of Evil.

In the summer of 2007, Silver joined the Tyranny-or ToE as it is often referred to as. Meanwhile, Neilo, had also been appointed the "leader" of a new way of competing against other MV players, the Metaverse League. Silver originally sat out of the MVL, fearing that he was not a good enough player to compete alongside such game greats as MottiKhan and Mumblefratz, but eventually did decide to join in the middle of the third round, where he even managed to get a speed bonus point for his team.

Due to the rapid growth of the MVL, a new team was needed for Round 4, and Silver gladly submitted his name to be the new captain of this team. With this, Team E-or more properly, The Eternal Villainy-, was founded.

Silver had captained the Villainy for three rounds when Commissioner, and fellow Villainy teammate, Neilo, decided to step down from his position as Commissioner of the MVL. At the request of Neilo and others, Silver accepted the nomination to be the new Commissioner of the MVL. After a close, but friendly, election, Silver was named the new "Commish" and Round 7 of the MVL was his first round under his 'leadership'.

It was also at this time that Silver decided to form his own empire, which he named the Olympian Gods. For a while, Silver remained a member of both the ToE and the Olympian Gods but eventually, decided that he wanted to focus all his attention on the MVL and Olympian Gods and so said goodbye to his Tyranny brothers to venture out on his own.

And that is how we say, is that.

The Confederation is ruled by a Lich? Hardly sounds like the sort of egalitarian democratic organization you pretend to be. ;)

Added a new Senator today to the Olympian Gods...managed to get Zeus on board with 128,800pts. That is just a preliminary score as I ended the game just to see roughly where I was at; I haven't maxed out any of my score factors (economy, military, population); I am guessing I should be able to at least double the score once I'm done.

I'm just about done with my gig game for my ToE character, so maybe I can start a game for my Hades character sometime in the near future.

Our climb to ascendancy is continuing as we now reach the #12 position in the Metaverse Rankings. Not too bad for an empire of 10 players, only a few of which are actually active.

Meanwhile, I only need another 1,296,917 pts to overtake Mumblefratz for the #1 spot :p

Just to sweeten the pot, so to speak, I've added another 30K. Had to wrestle 1st place in AltMeta C-Solar from Noctilucus. ;)

Sorry. I couldn't find the character "Hitchicker" on the list, so I took all of your beer and drank it instead.  :HOT:

as compared to a not-grown alcoholic?
Reply #172 Top
Hell I became an alcoholic within 3 years of going into the Army (got the article 15 and Militarily forced Alcoholics Anonymous classes to prove it). And in my early 20's, I definitly wasn't grown. Funny how you can be trained to shoot center mass to kill but still not be old enough to buy a beer in the states. That's why I'm glad I was stationed in Germany from the time I was 19 to 21 (there was no age limit on alcohol).  :CONGRAT:  But then again there are plenty of alcoholics in the military. Either the stress will get to you or you end up seeing and doing things that you would rather not have to remember. And then you get married and.... well I think everyone knows that having a wife will drive one to drink.   :LOL:

ya know...I wish I had thought of it at the time I created the Olympian Gods, but I wish I gone with the "New Alliance of Free Stars". And for any of you that don't know what's the from: SHAME ON YOU! Anyone that plays enough GCII should know the multitude of influences that have appeared in this game from the Star Control series. I will admit to never having played the third one (though from what I've heard/seen I don't really feel like I missed out). I do have the port "Ur-Quan Masters" floating around somewhere; its always nice to break that out on occasion-always had a heck of a time at the very end beating the Su-Matra Supership. Admittedly, I could edit the OP and the Empire at any time but I unno, I don't wanna annoy my nine fellow gods :LOL: Anyhow just ranting along here.

And finally, if you haven't played Star Control 2; then find the port and play it goldarnnit; its a great game!

Even missing the reference completely (I've never heard of Star Control), I've got to say that the "New Alliance of Free Stars" is a spectacular name for an empire. I may have to start that myself. :)

Well before I lose this battle to JustinSane4 (whom is also a Diplomat and an Olympian)

I hereby present to the Olympian Gods the proposal of changing the Imperial Formal Name of the Olympian God Empire to the New Alliance of Free Stars.

No character names need to be changed of course, that's just silly.

Star Control does have a good, almost cult-like, following and its science fiction; maybe it would work to our benefit in gathering more members.
