The Empty News:
In elections following the recent conclusion of the lengthy impeachment of President Dogthinker (RE: The Knob Incident) rulership of The Empty has passed over to President Marco75 in a lengthy process spanning the 2440s. Dogthinker denies any plans to try to influence the new incumbent, although he has been spotted wispering in the ear of Marco75 at numerous state occaisions...
Races wishing to convey their congratulations to President Marco75 may do so using the Stars Annual Galatic Messaging system and are encouraged to provide Hypermessaging addresses to facilitate future diplomacy.
Former President Dogthinker will be touring soon to support the launch of his new book, The Dogthinker Diaries - an acerbic commentary on politics during the Armistice Age. He may be contacted by Hypermessaging on his private starship at dogthinker AT gmail DOT com.

"Ahh" Minister Abrovi sighs;
"The sad horrors in the galaxy seem to have passed. It is a good thing that there is again peace. Only through peace will commerce grow, inter-species relations flourish and knowledge be shared by many".
"Yes, yes, I know the rhetoric on peace", muses Admiral Strom. "However, I am not so sure that the Armistice will hold forever. Obviously,peace is the way forward for prosperity in the galaxy. I fear though that there are species we have not yet had contact with that have a different agenda. I seriously doubt that the Armistice will hold and we better be ready with defences if that happens."
"Hmmm... well now, we really should wait and see, don't you think?", profers Minister Abrovi. "It simply would not do to have neighboring species within scanning distance see us building up a fleet of warships! That would send the wrong message and they would fear and distrust us!"
"Oh yeah - sure, let's just sit on our collective asses and do nothing - you politicians are all the same. Wait until it's too late and an enemy is knocking on the door, then say 'Oh we should have listened to the Admiral when he said build defences.' Then of course, you'll all blame me that they weren't built when you decide you really do need and want them", retorts Admiral Strom.
"Now, now Admiral, aren't you being just a touch too melodramatic?"
"Hrrrmph - Supposedly I'm paid to make sure we are safe. But, with administrative handcuffs and blindfold on, it's a little difficult to get things done. No matter, my family will be safely in another galaxy should the worst happen and you politicians can bicker amongst yourselves. If you decide you need me send a tachyon stream direct beam message. You'll find me examining systems around Valhalla for the archaeological team"; Admiral Strom says as he storms out of the room without looking back at the slimy little minister.

Though we often ask how and why, we must also do to get the answers to the questions.Report message to a moderator

I daresay there will be a few people that will have planned out their order for the first few years already. Don't forget to upload a turn file even if you haven't made any changes, so the game doesn't need to wait for you!
