I recall once while playing Galciv 2 as the Torians that I'd basically won, crushed all other resistance in the galaxy and was going for a tech victory because I felt like it. Many of my planets were optimized for breeding and max population to spam troop transports. This, when at peace, had the unfortunate side effect of plummeting morale - and thus research time IIRC when it got bad enough - because there were so many people. I didn't want to foist all my troops on the remaining factions, I wanted a tech victory. I could've crushed the other guys any time I felt like it, after all.

So I built the largest troop transports, or colony ships, that fit the most amount of people on board that they could possibly carry. I set those world's to endlessly produce these ships. When they were built, I loaded legions upon legions of eager Torian soldiers into them to bring dominance to the rest of the Galaxy.

Then when they left the planet and became units of their own I scrapped them, killing everyone on board and gaining some money back in the process. I don't know how many times I did this before I researched omnipotence, or how many people fit on my transports, but I think I got into the trillions at the least. Maybe more, it was a while to get those last few techs.

Excuse you, that was only between the people with hilariously overpowered characters. Dave's going to have the biggest magical dick later when the others are stagnating and there's no question about that.

Too true. Patience wins the day.

So in other words, you're going to join as a hallowed mass of alien death penii with the express purpose of making everyone else's characters appear flaccid in comparison?

Gods no. I left freeform RPs behind a long time ago, for good reason.
_{very good reason}

I'll stick to submitting NPCs if the mood hits me.

A voice comes in over the comms, uncaring of designations or anything like that. All signs, essentially.

Greetings, ARM! Vanessa Anagrid reporting in. I'm back from Hephaestus, and hoping to assist in whatever way I can here. Would someone mind updating me on the situation at hand? I'm afraid I was off the Sword for the briefing and such.

Sometime tonight, assuming this one RL situation doesn't go as I fear it may. 9ish hours.

Any character archetype can be good - to prove this, next chance I get I'm joining a game as a flying dolphin in a gimp suit and come up with a backstory and motivation that'll make people tear the fuck up from reading it.

It just all depends on how you play and portray it.
