Oh man, I remember having fun playing this game. I was pretty lousy at it, but it was still rather fun.
Another Fading Suns game might be kinda fun, though I'd have to dig up another copy. I'm always a bit worried about viruses and spyware and such (paranoid).
But early on, someone mentioned Merchant Prince/Machiavelli. Would anyone be interested in playing that some time? Not as much scifi goodness, but still pretty fun. I seem to remember it being less buggy, too.
Besides, I loved being able to buy Cardinals, and get yourself elected (non-Space) Pope. And I loved how Cardinals were a decent investment, with indulgence revenues.
I seem to remember being Transport Minister; great for skimming off revenues from, but I always went crazy, trying to pave the world.
Ah, good old fashioned gunboat diplomacy; you and what army indeed. I take it Aqizzar is holding the "Do it or I'll kill you" argument in reserve?
