It`s cause of the NAME. Galactic Conquest. Really? That`s dorkier than star wars or star trek. People DO judge a book by the cover, especially when they open the first page and have no idea what its saying. Which is what this game is.. a very un-newbie-friendly game with a bad name. I truly adore this game and think its just great.. SOOOO.... I`m thinking this thread should be dedicating to new name suggestions!!

I`ll suggest something later, for now its up to YOU to come up with some new name suggestions.

Think about it in comparison to Unification Wars. That has a better name for a worse, less unrealistic, and newbie friendly game. The name should spew Skill, battle, economy, commitment, and effort all with a couple words..... so go for it guys!!!!!

I`m kinda with BK on here. (Oh god how I hate to agree with him). As long as I`ve been here I`ve thought it`s pretty bad.
My vote goes for SD being allowed to rename the game.

HAHAHA Space Crack! I vote Space Crack! With both hands! :D How about "Clash of Empires" or (due to love of not discussing politics/religion and strict language rules, or just general political correctness) ;) "Altercations in Space" :P
I`ll give a cookie to anyone who can figure out where the sarcasm was in that statement =)

ALL THIS NAMES ARE GETTING OLD, seriously its the same old same old people, things never change....

I got a good idea for the next event, disband all federations & disable making them.
reset everyones username & send them an E-mail of what it is... then we can all randomly fight each other.... oh i might of also probably disband everyones fleets for the fun of it to but thats asking to much.... figuring out who is who by where they are in power & how many planets they have gets easy....

Man maybe im just tired of the same old names in the same old spots

How about Galactic Politics...

Rules:
#1.) hate the biggest fed,
#2.) hate the most annoying players for playing like newbies
#3.) Try & be everyones friend & join the biggest fed when doing an UW & hopefully everyone likes you enough or you die.
#4.) Having a Large # of planets gets you into most any fed you want so hordo if you can or lose them to someone who is better than you or plays cheap.

I think you bring up a good point here, BK, although I don`t agree with you on the name being dorky. I think the name is simply misleading. There is no conquest in GC, really more like Galactic Individual Parity. I am a case in point -- I came to the game BECAUSE of the name, looking for something where alliances could be formed and planets and galaxies could be conquered. In this game, planets are realistically a throw away commodity with no fixed point in time or space.

How do you make newbie-friendly a game that requires such slavish devotion to reach the upper echelons?

Therein lies the challenge.

Is this from real life experience trying to recruit real life friends to the game?
