Well the mini golf one was a fun game I suppose Baley

I remember there being about 8 KOO feds, now that was amusing.

I remember Hegemony. The days of UFP, LCA, Hegemony were bright ones.

The times you had to time DP to the minute because three people were gunning for you. Alan "Lambentation" Lamb`s news reports.

And of course, getting your tail kicked by GalacticEmpire.

(I used to run Hegemony`s counterintelligence department. Fun times.)

What games did I send you to ?

And for that matter, who are you ?

yeah but baley all the games you send me to suck. :P

I usually play games that people have been talking about in other games` forums, blogs or any website in general... I barely trust these "top 100 games" sites, the top sites are very often those that offer the best rewards for people who are voting or benefit from proxy spamming.

You could do a lot of things to advertise for spacefed. But seriously, Stephen has been running things the way he and only he wants to for a long while, so I`ll let him deal with the advertising. Too bad he`s bad at that. Ever saw these spam sites with loads of links to SF that got him banned from Google ?

Back to the topic, yeah I remember that time too. But what has killed GC is not the fact that it`s not what it used to be anymore, it`s rather that it is exactly the same as what it used to be 3 years ago, when 1.06 rolled out. Oh that 1.06 update was a great excitement, new super handsome races (well ok, one new super handsome race) to finally end the hegemony of guardians on RT, 10 whole stacks to play with, loads of new planet types... of course it wasn`t all perfect, some things needed to be balanced a bit. Too bad this never happened. Too bad nothing else happened ever since.

What I miss most in the forum is the old legendary thread "The Battle has begun... in slow". The whole history of slow was sitting there. Now it`s all gone to oblivion.

finding a way to bump the games links on vote game sites would play a big part.

Not sure about all of you, but I play other games, and how do I pick ? By going to those sites and seeing what games are in teh top 20 and seeing if they`re worth my bother.

GC is never in the top 20, so that isn`t helping the intake of new players.

and yeah that UC has freakin star wars adverts on every game site i`ve been to also doesn`t help, lol star wars by left bottom cheek.

GC needs promotion on the web. Anyone have a way to do that i`m out of ideas i spammed sites for most of last year.

Normal server was a big thing. OMG now RT is & Viral grow here then spread like a disease onto the slower servers to take them over lol

Yes rarehunter I remember when you never existed because i played this long before you did in what november of 03? i was around when RT was just small still and Normal server was the big thing. I dont quite remeber seeing you around rare.

Oh yes, and the old forums were much better!

I sure remember them days quite well. The golden days of GC.
Having come back after 1 1/2 years away, one can sure see a big difference in game play.
One thing that has never changed howver is RareHunter is still the "beep" he has always been.

Stephen.
remember StormofBladeZ this game was sold off to someone else, the creator cared about us & GC was his prize back in the day, now we got a new person forever & he doesnt care about GC & his prize is now UC.

yes i remember the days lmao. talk about 500 pages of newbies to play with now like less then 30 pages for sure.

GC needs its own chat again, i think that would really help bring life back to GC.

remember when none of you newbs existed and i could sleep easy knowing hundreds of newbs like you were not running around ? well i do hurry up and quit the game so i can take your name off my newbs who need to get a life list yawn

*was around for such events, but its beginning to belive it was all in his imagination*

I actually remember that. I remember when he actually gave out artifacts and regalos as prizes to whoever was the first person to answer a question he asked on the chat. It was June and July 2 years ago.......
