P.S. The reporter voices are pretty sad in edition #1. That was addressed in future broadcasts. It’s new technology, some… bugs… left to work out.
Butterball Nov 19, 2006, 10:12 AM Clever & well done.

Emp. Killyouall Nov 19, 2006, 12:41 PM Damn! you built a broadcast station already?! Can you tell us where it is? Your capital?
Mauer Nov 19, 2006, 03:56 PM Great job guys. Just goes to show what some twine, stone, and the castration of a pig can make!
BCLG100 Nov 19, 2006, 04:15 PM i find it amazing how the news reporter speaks without his lips moving! v impressive general :)
1889 Nov 19, 2006, 04:41 PM Wow that was cool, I'm going to ask my cable provider to carry EEN.
Robi D Nov 20, 2006, 05:21 AM Well done GW:goodjob: Mass Media or not your still number 2 out of the blocks this time around;) .
Anyway what happened to the weather and sports sections, maybe if you toned the propaganda down you will be able to fit them in:p
Btw- who provided the voices?
General_W Nov 20, 2006, 11:16 AM Thanks for the great feedback! Glad you enjoyed it.
I hope future episodes will be even better.
@RobiD <snip>
Look for more varied voices in future editions!
Whomp Nov 20, 2006, 07:51 PM Gen W--you never cease to amaze me. That was fantastic. btw I'm long hair club for men stock. As they say it takes one to know one. Oh and bless your wife for putting up with us. :D
Robi D Nov 21, 2006, 01:04 AM Thanks for the great feedback! Glad you enjoyed it.
I hope future episodes will be even better.
@RobiD - The voices were all provided by me (hence the pitiful nature) except for a guest appearance by my lovely and gracious wife, who after a small amount of arm twisting agreed to voice Upso Hei in her best "perky reporter" voice.
Look for more varied voices in future editions!
I figured that most of the voices were your but the Upso Hei was very different. As a suggestion Cathy could be the weather girl;)
Sir Bugsy Nov 21, 2006, 11:33 PM Cathy the weather girl :drool:
Rik Meleet Nov 27, 2006, 01:29 PM Another Great General performance :)

azzaman333 Dec 19, 2006, 09:24 PM I'm convinced this Confucius guy is way too confusing, and should stop confusing people with his Confucing teachings... :crazyeye:

I just tried to imagine my wife doing that, and although I know she never would, I almost snotted myself laughing so much!

My wife is flattered (and mortified) I told her what a hit she's been.
How'd I get her do it? The same way I got her to marry me
a desperate appeal to her compassionate nature towards all things pathetic ;)
Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!! :xmascheers:

General_W Jan 16, 2007, 09:59 AM Ok – for anyone that missed it, or didn't take time to watch the video, the above was to serve as our official announcement that we built the Kong Miao.
I'll take the lack of comment as awed silence after viewing the raw emotional power of this tribute video… :mischief:
robboo Jan 16, 2007, 10:22 AM actually I fell asleep watching it :p
No I watched it but forgot to post that you guys did another good job.There was also alot of good fortune cookie sayings there.
Thunderfall Feb 04, 2007, 05:49 PM Good job with the videos, General_W! :goodjob: If you make more in the future, maybe you can get DaveShack or another DG mod to post a DG forum announcement or news item about it.

P.S. Thanks Thundefall, I'm really glad you liked it! :hatsoff:
Whomp Mar 02, 2007, 12:59 PM That was fantastic again Gen. W!! I love it. I think my 2 seconds of fame flashed in front of my eyes too. :lol:
General_W Mar 02, 2007, 02:07 PM Thanks Whomp! :)
And by the way – my apologies up front to those that didn't get their avatar to make a "guest appearance" in the video. Or should that be a congratulations? :hmm:
For those that didn't make it: The video was getting too long, and I just didn't have room for everyone. I randomly selected the images, so – it's nothing personal.
For those that did make it: I just like you better ;)
killercane Mar 02, 2007, 02:15 PM Fantastic work, General W, made me laugh out loud.
peter grimes Mar 02, 2007, 03:05 PM Laughing out loud, indeed....
"a little bit of [Rik Meleet]" made me cry :rotfl:
RegentMan Mar 02, 2007, 03:08 PM One of the best things I've seen, General. Your music video was fantastic (everything fit in perfectly and using MTDG pieces :goodjob: ), plus I enjoyed the religion report.
I feel we should be paying you admission tickets to watch these! :commerce:
Memphus Mar 02, 2007, 05:11 PM I feel we should be paying you admission tickets to watch these! :commerce:
Any "donation" that the moderators feel like gifting Epsilon in the game would be accepted... ;)
Theoden Mar 03, 2007, 12:19 PM Fantastic work! And very funny. :lol:
I think everyone should pay special attention to the part where Innovia's religious top position is proclaimed. :mischief:
Butterball Mar 03, 2007, 01:30 PM GW
Clever ... Well done ... I loved it.

DaveMcW Mar 03, 2007, 05:39 PM Actually Aloha has the #1 religion - they are unbelievers. :mischief:
General_W Mar 03, 2007, 06:06 PM Thanks for all the wonderfully positive comments!
I’m glad you all enjoy these videos… makes the time and effort totally worthwhile. :)
Actually Aloha has the #1 religion - they are unbelievers
Well, that was true until just recently… :mischief:x2
Very inconsiderate of certain un-named empires to found another religion just after I finished my religion roundup ;)
Course… then I might have needed to rename my broadcast, the Aloha News Network…
BCLG100 Mar 04, 2007, 01:11 PM *shrug* your stealing our artwork you may as well do ;)

Does GW know your ruining the reputation he has worked hard to build EEN as a reliable source of news. For shame!:nono:
:lol: Still a nice try, but its always the small details that give it away;)
peter grimes Apr 04, 2007, 08:53 AM Details? Which details would those be? :mischief:
BCLG100 Apr 04, 2007, 11:50 AM :lol: nice editing skills :)
General_W Apr 04, 2007, 11:54 AM Since this whole thing went a little awry (thanks to the fast-acting conscientiousness of DaveShack :hatsoff: ) I feel I should at least point out that the wealthy list you're seeing IS in-fact exactly what Epsilon saw when we ended the turn cycle.
(Although, I think the original name at the top was Machiavelli :mischief: )
Robi D Apr 05, 2007, 03:30 AM Details? Which details would those be? :mischief:
Where do you want me to start:D
Maybe the 30 odd GP's wandering around is a bit too much to believe, try 15 to 20 next time;)
peter grimes Apr 05, 2007, 05:45 AM It was pretty tricky keeping them all in-frame when I snapped the shot :D
Whomp Apr 05, 2007, 07:43 AM Sorry for blowing the trick. I just saw stuff in the background and.....:blush:
Robi D Apr 05, 2007, 08:00 AM It was pretty tricky keeping them all in-frame when I snapped the shot :D
Need to use all your skills there did you;)
peter grimes Apr 05, 2007, 08:14 AM Hey - we got DaveShack! That's at least something :D

P.S. This video was a delayed in posting due to some technical and personnel issues ;) – so please excuse the slightly dated nature of the content. It takes a lot of work to take one of these videos from conception to completion, and sometimes things happen in the game while the video is being worked on, and I can't always make big changes in time! Hope you enjoy it anyway! :D
Butterball Apr 25, 2007, 02:58 PM Again ... well done!
General_W Apr 25, 2007, 03:47 PM Thanks Butterball :)
Oh - and bonus points for anyone who can guess which Mods and/or Admins were involved in providing voices for this video.
When this game is over, I'll make a final video identifying all the contributors.
:salute:
Robi D Apr 26, 2007, 12:45 AM Nice work again GW :)
Joe Harker Apr 26, 2007, 06:16 AM Well done again
dutchfire Apr 26, 2007, 08:24 AM It doesn't really matter how you pronounce Rik Meleet, as long as you don't mix up the "R" and the "L".
This one is for Dutchmen only
RegentMan Apr 26, 2007, 11:02 AM Another fantastic video there, General. The pronounciation story and the wonder decorating were my favorites. Although your influence must be expanding, as there were a few new voices in this edition. Nam Tneger seemed like a cheery chap.

By the way, we've already copyrighted our war detour, however if you were to give us a couple of techs, we won't talk about it anymore :D

General_W Jun 22, 2007, 02:47 PM Thanks all :D glad you got a kick out of it.
The idea just hit me for this the other day when I had my iTunes on shuffle… and I had to give it a shot :)

Provolution Jun 22, 2007, 02:53 PM Can we come with Requests?
You should make something about Daveshack with the tune of "Loveshack", to be in character with the music.
Theoden Jun 24, 2007, 08:10 AM :lol: Just saw this now. Very good stuff, GW!
So now we've officially proven that the best way to make friends is to attack them. :p
General_W Jun 27, 2007, 10:02 AM Can we come with Requests?
Uhm... well, you're free to suggest ideas! :) These videos take a fair amount of work (though they don't look like it! :lol: ) so I have to exercise a little discretion.
That said, your idea sounds funny, and it's started me thinking about doing something along that line. We'll see if I get sufficient time and inspiration!
So now we've officially proven that the best way to make friends is to attack them.

Robi D Aug 09, 2007, 11:16 PM Hey GW nice work, however the message is a big vague. You need to make it a bit clearer if you expect people to get it;)
Joe Harker Aug 10, 2007, 07:18 AM :spear: Bring it on!
dutchfire Aug 10, 2007, 10:55 AM Declaring war on Loco is so cruel, we would never do that.
General_W Aug 10, 2007, 11:11 AM Thanks all :)
however the message is a big vague.
Well, we are aware of the fact that it's possible a little something got lost in translation with that message…
Bring it on!
All your bring it on are belong to us.
Declaring war on Loco is so cruel, we would never do that.
What!?! I could have sworn we got this idea out of that new book, "How to win friends and influence people" by Innovia. :confused:
Theoden Aug 10, 2007, 06:06 PM Excellent work, as usual!
What!?! I could have sworn we got this idea out of that new book, "How to win friends and influence people" by Innovia. :confused:
How did you get your hands on the draft? I could have sworn I kept it completely locked away to avoid it being leaked before the release date. ;)
Or maybe you just read the blurb:
"In 'How to win friends and influence people' Saggioun the Wise One describes how old ideas about how to conduct diplomacy is completely obsolete. New times require new methods; methods whose mysteries will be unveiled. No less than a seminal discovery, it will blow away the reader as he learns that diplomacy as it was beforenoe seems in vain in comparison.
Saggioun the Wise One is a cand.diplomat and has been studying in his giant private palace university for the past few thousand years. According to himself the breakthrough that led him to develop the concept of the book was when the foreign minister concluded on the war with Loco by saying 'So now we've officially proven that the best way to make friends is to attack them' which is a key aspect of the book"

General_W Jan 20, 2008, 04:02 PM The Leader, may he live forever, recently bestowed upon the people of Epsilon a remarkable institution known as Notre Dame.
The assorted flunkeys of Epsilon apologize for the delay in announcing this – but we’ve been a bit busy filling our seats in this sacred institution.

Against you? Have you considered that The Leader, may he live forever, is just eager to welcome you into his eternal embrace and is willing to pursue his wayward children all over the world of Sirian? ;)
1889 Mar 14, 2008, 04:08 PM The Leader has gone too far this time. All that stuff we said about voting for you at the UN is being reconsidered very seriously. I would strongly suggest you contact our team immediately with peace terms otherwise the final decision is not likely to be in your favor.
You have been warned.

Note: General_W, who does not speak about himself in the third person, is perfectly aware that Aloha is not dead yet. He does not wish to be presumptive, but with a UN vote just around the corner, he wanted to take the opportunity to offer a sincere tip 'o the hat to some worthy adversaries.

Aloha ?!
General_W Jun 09, 2008, 12:37 PM Watch the video :)
Joe Harker Jun 09, 2008, 12:45 PM but with a UN vote just around the corner,
You nearly finished then? :)
General_W Jun 09, 2008, 12:54 PM Well... I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you, I'm afraid :mischief:
(It's more like we've got the needed tech now - so we are getting closer. It seems like it's been awhile, but remember it hasn't really been that many turns since we agreed to pursue the UN thing. Hopefully telling you that won't get my security clearance revoked.... :scared: )
Memphus Jun 09, 2008, 04:53 PM Thank you for the Video update general.
Early reports are showing approximately 70% of the Alohan invasion fleet has been "return to port for repairs".
on a side note none of the shots in the video showed battleships attacking frigates... :eek:
peter grimes Jun 09, 2008, 05:37 PM Umm - That's quite some propaganda you guys are pushing! Luckily, Piffle has its own network of intelligence gathering :scan:
dutchfire Jun 10, 2008, 09:50 AM Watch the video :)

Ah, watching Euro 2008 takes a lot of time. But damn, it's worth it! :)

You need to upgrade you signature. :D
Robi D Jun 16, 2008, 01:03 AM Given that i spied what looked a lot like a destroyer in one of the screenshots going up against galleons and frigates its seems a lot of fanfare for such a lopsided battle
Memphus Jun 16, 2008, 07:03 AM They were battlships....we didn't have destroyers yet...silly combustion, not required for battleships :)
Joe Harker Jun 16, 2008, 07:11 AM ^^ How did you get the oil?
dutchfire Jun 16, 2008, 10:26 AM ^^ How did you get the oil?
Physics + Uranium I suppose
robboo Jun 17, 2008, 09:55 PM Minister of information... Aloha Bob***
"I would like to deny the pictures. They are made up. a few peaceful science vessels were destroyed by the ruthless people of Epsilon. We demand a complete repayment of ships plus a tech for this ruthless destruction. Some of our top benthic biologist had just reported a find of a whole new undiscovered ecosystem off our shores. Now his body and that of his ship mates are resting on the bottom with their ship.
We will not stand by after a second unprovoked attack on our peaceful people."
*** Aloha Bob is not related to "Bagdad Bob". they just sound alike and have a slight resemblence.
Robi D Jun 20, 2008, 06:02 AM They were battlships....we didn't have destroyers yet...silly combustion, not required for battleships :)
Even less need for fanfare then:p
Robi D Jun 20, 2008, 06:04 AM We will not stand by after a second unprovoked attack on our peaceful people."
Don't you mean third;)
dutchfire Jun 21, 2008, 10:58 AM I finally got time to watch it, and I must say, it was good!
General_W Jun 21, 2008, 11:13 AM :D Thanks dutchfire. Glad you got a kick out of it.
I'm trying to squeeze out whatever fun is left in this game! :lol:
classical_hero Jun 22, 2008, 09:37 AM ^^ How did you get the oil?
We founded a corporation called ethanol corporation. ;)

civplayah Aug 19, 2008, 06:05 PM Where the heck do you find these music tracks? :lol:
Theoden Aug 20, 2008, 02:40 AM Nice one. :lol: Took you a quite a while to finish the job. :p
classical_hero Aug 20, 2008, 07:12 AM The music is from Aladdin, well Arabian nights is from Aladdin and it is actually quite racist if you listen to the words.
General_W Aug 20, 2008, 09:32 AM Glad you got a kick out of it Theoden :) ... sorry it took so long, work has been crazy busy.
@Civplayah - I own all the music I use... from iTunes mostly. I actually had to purchase the Arabian Nights one just for this video :lol:
@Classical Hero - I'm assuming you're referring to the line "it's barbaric, but hey! it's home" ... I suppose you could call it racist. I thought it was pretty clearly tongue-in-cheek / ironic. But either way, no offense was intended.
Theoden Aug 20, 2008, 12:18 PM Glad you got a kick out of it Theoden :) ... sorry it took so long, work has been crazy busy.
Actually I was refering to the war, not the making of the video, with my comment about taking a long time. :)
Regarding the use of the word barbaric, you could just take it as meaning "non-hellenistic", which isn't completely wrong. ;)
peter grimes Aug 20, 2008, 12:55 PM Or bearded :old:
General_W Aug 20, 2008, 02:22 PM Actually I was refering to the war, not the making of the video, with my comment about taking a long time. :)
OOooh! :lol:
Come now... 1635 AD till 1780 AD isn't that long for wiping out an empire as glorious as Innovia!
Besides... I did notice a few green arrows in that video... perhaps we could have been faster without the counter-attacks? :mischief:
And yes... take THAT you furry bearded non-greeks! Ah Ha! ;)
Memphus Aug 20, 2008, 03:02 PM we would also been faster if PIFFLE didn't plant a :backstab:....we needed to redirect troops... :)
Lord Parkin Aug 20, 2008, 03:42 PM Nice farewell video. ;)

Actually if yo listen properly to the words, you will see it as a quite racist, well especially the original first verse.
"Where they cut off your ear
If they don't like your face"

But that is OT, but otherwise it is a good song.
