If You Were A Character

[Atrocities]

If you were a character in Space Empires, who would you be? More accurately what would you be like?

Lord Atrocities
General Operations Director
"X" Empire

A ruthless leader with no brains on how to run an empire. (As evident in my many defeats at PBW)

I rule my empire like a mad man rules the nut house.

I spend recklessly on state of the art war ships that are far from state of the art compared to my eniems designs.

I love to spend time with the lovely women of my empire, probing them with my instrument of love when I really should be making plans to conqure my enemies.

I am over all a nice guy, but there seem to be no other equal to my skill to lead my empire so any who try will fail, and I feel it is my obligation as G.O.D. to save them the embarassment of defeat so I have them liquidated upon identification.

I love to listen to my people, I seldom if ever hear what they are saying over the sound of the disuptor fire, but I think most of it are screams for mercy.

That being said most of my planets populations tow the line because those that do not will get the chance to explore space. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Without protective gear.

The best part about being the leader of an empire, well is the satisfaction one gains from watching ones enemies fall before you.

I would like to be the Research Minister, and be a mad genius scientist, inventing new weapons and technology, always coming up with crazy new ideas, and having a big team of scientists and engineers to help me. I'd have a gigantic laboratory in the head research facility on the home planet, and the place would look like a huge clutter, with partially-built nuclear reactors, beam weapons, engines, and so on all over the place, with busy technicians in lab coats always scurrying around, testing, modifying, constructing, and growing stuff. I'd be running around, closely working on my favorite projects, and directing all the research and development. Project leaders working on different designs will constantly be running up to me to get advice, and then be running back to their areas to work on their projects with their own teams.

[David E. Gervais]

Kamog, for some reason reading your post made me think of 'Q' from the bond films. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

As for me, all I can say is.. "So little paint, so many ships!" and,.. "Sorry we're all out of 'Black'." http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I'd be the idiotic AI colonization minister that insists on attempting to colonize a tiny red-star planet on enemy territory and ignores the huge green-star one on our homesystem.

[oleg]

Puppeter... (spel., sorry)

I like to tweak AIs and usually play with all ministers on and modding AI files as the game progress.

Some sort of EVIL behind the scene ruler of all http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

[Iansidious]

Me I would be head of intelligence. How cool would it be to have thousands of alias's and have the coolest little gagets. I can only think of the action I could have being an intergalaic spy. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[EvilGenius4ABetterTomorro]

MINISTER OF VICE.

Fellow citizens of the Empire. Send me your alcohol, drugs and drug money for proper disposal. Send me your huddled victims of white slavery for proper evaluation and re-education. I will see to it personally that these difficult tasks will be done. Oh, todays ration of Soylent Jaggermeister has been cut by 5%! Sorry dudes!

[Renegade 13]

Minister of Interrogation

Spreading seeds of insurrection?? You're mine.
A little bit of sedition?? You'll wish you hadn't.

[Ruatha]

Emperor Ruatha

Thinks himself an evil genious, out to conquer the galaxy.
But first he must build the meanest and largest fleet ever built, before he attacks. And until then he must show off a nice exterior, the noble peaceful diplomat. Negotaiting and keeping peace until he can strike and obliterate all other races in the universe, whoa ha ha! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif
But first he needs a few more ships, and perhaps upgrade them, and a few more....


Hey, what happened, the game has ended!!
I didn't mean to be Mr Nice guy, honestly!!

Drink not with thine enemy. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[narf poit chez BOOM]
