Respect to the staff

if stephen is smart he`ll pay a puppet to dance as his marionette over GC. he obviously doesn`t care about game balance or whats best for the players especially in the long term. so he should hire someone who will follow through blindly with those wishes.

but for the sake of voting i vote for valja `cuz he`s got a head for buisness and economy and all that

Lol wonders who the new Admin will be in the next 6 months...

Put ur vote down cause it doesnt matter, Stephen doesnt care about the popular vote of the website anymore.

Agreed Bandits

Though, I have to say, the admins handled 90% of teh stuff, i do knwo some guides/volunteers helped make some things possible. Not saying they dont need or deserve the thanks as well, but uhm the do deserve a tiny bit of credit :P. Mainly talking about ship updates from back when borrs were nerfed to range 8, etc etc

I have played this game along time, and have never stopped enjoying its challenges. One thing I never thought I`d do from the beginning was buy a paid account. I thought that the extra turn generation, artifact boost, and few extra ships wasn`t really tempting enough.

After getting bored with Terran and Aminer a few times I finally turned collective (long ago when they were a simple laughable race). Since I enjoyed playing them it cemented the fact that I probably would never buy a paid account.

Then Maraudian started pushing for updates. Suddenly besides the broadsword there was the King! And the Leo! Then my Snow gets rebuilt along with my brig. It was when they added all those new paid only ships to the races, when the corsair was made that I was sold.

Because of the new additions that Mara and BadWolf made possible (with plenty of help from some dedicated players) I had renewed interest in the game and I began buying paids. I cannot express how grateful I am that this game (which has so much potential) has people like them to help it.

When I heard that Stephen had fired Maraudian and the events that occurred before and after that, I was distraught. In my opinion Stephen has gone full blown shoot-myself-in-the-leg $tupid.

To all the admins I am so happy that you all took part in this game and were part of making it what it was. But I am even more sad that the game you all were improving and reviving may come to an end in the not so far off future.

I doubt I`ll quit until the address no longer takes me to GC. But until Stephen starts caring a little bit more about his creation I will live without the King and the Corsair (*sniffle*).

nicely spoken

*cries.... It was fun guys... it really was.
I`ve enjoyed playing this game for a little over 3 years,

And I will continue playing for a little while...

I want to be here at the end.
I don`t know why.
When the ticker says 1 user online.
Why?
If you ask me why I won`t be able to give you a straight answer,
Because I don`t know.
Why?
Maybe it`s because I somehow believe that it won`t happen unless I see it,
Like a child hiding under his covers.
Or maybe it`s that elusive dream that somehow GC will revive,
And will once again be as busy and active as it was the first day I played.
There are 70 users online!
Thats not so bad...
Much better then it has been recently.
Perhaps it is reviving now.
I still feel hopeful.
Or perhaps it`s the selfish craving to be the emperor,
In a game devoid of players.
Like a scene from Oryx and Crake.
Nostalgia, Hope, Denial, Curiosity, Melancholy, Obstinance.
I suspect the answer to my question lies somewhere amongst those words,
Those emotions.

So goodbye to all that are leaving!
I wish I had made the time to talk to everyone,
To get to know every active player (a task that gets easier every day...)
To learn about who they are outside the game.
To connect.
To those who are leaving especially,
My name is Zeb Armstrong,
Look me up on Facebook and add me as a friend,
Send me a message and your empire name.
And maybe we will find some other common interests.

To my fedmates,
I hope you choose to join me,
And endure.
Endure.
After all, that is what we do best.
For the past 2 years Federations have risen and fallen.
ChronicConquest, Distemper, Rabies, and many many others.
But TheDestroyers has remained consistent.
Always third, or fourth, or fifth.
But rarely lower.
Wary of events and conflict,
We are often overlooked by the more dynamic Feds,
Regardless, I hope that you all decide to stay with me,
And continue that legacy,
However meager it may seem to others.

-Ender

me goes much with what bandits stated.... its harsh but its true

dam where are all the admins this is weird man really weird

If somebody told me 5 years ago that Gollum aka Maraudian would be an admin in future, i would have pissed in my pants from laughing.
But how wrong could i be.

Maraudian i got nothing but respect for you,
you have managed that (A) as a true admin should.
All the free time you have invested to improve the game for the players,
and that only because you care about the game and the players.

Hell you probally have spend more time and care more about this game as Mr. Stephen himself.

420Badwolf, you have been a great guide and an awesome player.
You too invested lots of freetime to improve the game for us players.
So respect for you too.
ps. Still miss our old battles ;)

As for Wicca , Juju and Elu
don`t know you guys that good, but you guys also deserve respect for all the time you guys invested in this game :)

For anyone that also resigned, respect for all the time you invested.

As for Mr. Stephen , i thank you for creating this game , as i had a great time playing it.
I wish you still cared about the game as you once did in the past.
but it seems you only care about getting money from us players and stopped loving the game..
So as you lost the interest about us players,
i lost the respect for you i once had.

i`ll still be here to see my old friends
but i think i have bought my last paid for this game.

I love the game admins :D
And we have to love stephen to everyone...He made the game :)

The Worst things

1: Gamestotal and all its games are shut down
2: All the admins quit...and gamestotal dies
3: The Unspeakable thing happens.

OH LOOK:

ALL THE ADMINS ARE GONE...

And almost all the guides...the game is getting ruined..everyne enjoy it, while you can...I better rebuild the utu fast, before stephen does something.....Drastic.

Yes he is the boss, and no he cannot do everything.
He thinks he can. And fact is he should consult the staf because that is why they are there for.

He is the boss, he can do anything he wan.

why doesn`t anyone name Pandy?

Once again, I stop paying attention for a few days...

Half the staff leaving in one fell swoop, eh? Bravo Stephen. You have most certainly done it this time.

Rofl to sack somebody that you are not paying for hahahahah... I have nothing to add. But oh well, after all some people had forgotten that Stephen is the actual owner and he has all the rights to do absolutely everything with this game - hell, he can delete the game, get the server PC and give it to his children to play GTA IV on it if he wants...

Been here for over a year+
love the game
keep coming back to spend time and cash on it
stephen is stephen
he loves the games he creates, but life is more than gaming and less loving of the games.

goodbye to our friends
our memories do not end
empires rise and fall
in them we see all

that was done in respect and grace
we see the face
of WIcca and Maraudian
in the points of origin

Elutheria in the interest of dread
a new beginning a new thread
Juju kept the pace
the Wolf was hunted for his face.

let the guides be faithful and true
all things end but begin anew
as the universe changes and stars are faint
our brothers and sisters in arm remain as saints.

Well i played here for 5 long years..and i am gonna stop now... without this admins (bw and Mara) pointless playing now.. i am not affraid to cheat since they stepped down.. i actually lost the interest...can`t be askedto play it now..

VM then into numbers.......and dissapear.........
Goodbye gc
