-Stephen deletes GC because he`s too lazy to update it
-A good GC based clone comes out and all GCers migrate to the new game and kick Stephen to the dust
-Some sort of apocalyptic event occurs wiping out almost all traces of humanity and destroying the internet, specifically the server hosting GC |

"Now enough of GC, lets get to UC.
Universal Conquest was the real name for UC hence the code UC. It was meant to be on a larger scale compared to GC and as a newbie version of GC where newbies can play before migrating to GC. UC is also meant to be a strip down simpler version of GC and at the same time less stressful plus something that GC can never be. I have personally seen players who can`t beat to lose C3s, so UC is a game to escape from losing one`s C3. `
i think he`s pretty much given us the history himself there. |

99+ day(s) ago | I tried to search for such a game but alas, unable to find one so I ended up making one, the first game titled Galactic Conquest. I started around the 15th December 2002 on that game.
Before working on Galactic Conquest I did tried making some games before, there is a ton of other games that I have created but never made it close to beta, mainly because they didn`t catch my attention. There was a game based on space trading, and another RPG game trying to emulate MUD, a medieval "Romance of the Three Kingdom" clone and some others.
The last game I worked on was the space trading game, it`s a game very similar to 3700AD which players buy and sell stuff, and however in this game the players can only trade. There wasn`t any purpose in the game at all other than trading, so when the game was up for beta I gave up after playing the game (died of boredom).

99+ day(s) ago | If I remember correctly, UC existed before GC and GC was based on that. But maybe I`m wrong... |
Propaganda
99+ day(s) ago | I`d vote for 2: "A GC based clone comes out and all GCers migrate" etc. This actually happened already with UC. Then I noticed you said "good" GC based clone. So I bet on 3.
By the way, wiping out the Internet is far easier than people realize (but that`s not a subject for a GC forum, so I`ll stfu). |
Pandy
99+ day(s) ago | too lazy to update = too lazy to delete
therefore the only obvious choice left is a apocalyptic event, since its been cloned before and no one was that interested. |

99+ day(s) ago | Deil I`m going to go with door number three! What have I won?! Oh...an apocalypse. Hopefully a zombie invasion :) |
Travvivian
99+ day(s) ago | Dev, if you have anything to say about it. I wouldn`t hesitate to say #3. But IIRC, you`re plans aren`t near fruition yet. So definitely #2. |

99+ day(s) ago | DP want pie ! |
Ragnarok
99+ day(s) ago | yea, plus rumor has it that the game isn`t even copyrighted properly |
Biohazard
99+ day(s) ago | LOL @ evil

EnderWiggin
99+ day(s) ago | yaya, i like Exules fluff! he`s a mighty good fluf... hmmm on second thought maybe i should stop typing... |
EvilAbadayos
99+ day(s) ago | liegal implications?
You mean you havn`t noticed teh BLATANTLY OBVIOUS rip off of the borg for colective? there is even mention of the Gamma Quadrent..ala Star Trek.
So in all honesty legal implications are non-existant. If you get sued for it, contact your lawyer and get it taken that step further and contact Lucas Arts and watch stephen roll over with a massive sueing.
Legal implications don`t exist also if you just change names and get exule to write the fluff |
Celest
99+ day(s) ago | Wow this game still exists. :D |
Macbeth
99+ day(s) ago | I think I found a pretty good one actually very similar to GC... and there is quite afew similar games when you go out looking for them. (Wont post the link here might get suspended lol) |
Macbeth
99+ day(s) ago | I think we should all look for a decent, GC replacement and all move over, make a `fed` or whatever =) Go some where active where there`s updates and the people get listened to... =) |
