    The Random Number Disruptor:
    It is rumoured that in the Forgotten Years of the Past team AC has made a very profitable deal with a person styling himself as Diabolico or somesuch.
    One of the clauses of deal dictates that whenever an element of 'luck' is involved, AC team will be the one with most benefit (evidental picture attached) through the use of a weapon called The Random Number Disruptor (or at least that's the modern transcription of it's ancient-egyptian name), transmitted to AC team as a part of the deal.
    While the weapon itself is very powerful, we are using it wisely and deploying where it seems most fit.
    It is even rumored that a past member of our team being called in many names in places far and near, but best known as Enigma_Nova was exiled from AC team because of unwise and malicious use of said device.

      Signal to the other teams? That we're ready to go to great lengths winning this one of course.

        bt: I'm not sure if we should mention E_N explicitly. I do agree he was very annoying and it's a fun joke, but I guess it might upset some people. If we post such info in the beginning of our thread, I predict the first 2 pages will be trash-talking about him rather than discussing the team's strengths. That's not the image we want for our civ IMHO.

            ''enigma nova's worst enemy'' cant help but bring it up hmm?

            I dont see mentioning EN as a good idea personally. If you feel the need to tell whatever team he joined he is a cheater, lets not do it as a message from the AC team.


            Kata, have you got problems distinguishing propaganda from truth?

            The picture is very good, we'll just need to make it smaller.
            It could be our titular picture, what do you think Illu?
            I knew you were joking, but the thing is, it really has happaned elsewhere. Thus you may likely be taken seriously. Theres a guy on civ2 that has spent what, an hour? Just on turn 1.

            The idea that a smacer would spend more then 10 seconds on turn 1 rather than head for the more interesting crawlers etc is a little unplausible.

              Mentioning EN is definitely out of the question. Damnatio memoriae upon him.

                  but critism is easier and funner than doing something creative.

                  ok, i think the RNG Disrupter and etc need no explaination. as for a team description... '' bunch of doods from smac forums that are playing cIV'' works for me.

                    Initial news article


                    Goals: *Introduce the team.
                    -> What makes our team different from others, what can new members expect, what are our goals.
                    -> Explain what is our theme in this game-

                    *How to join the team
                    -> Requirements for joining.
                    -proposal: First condition is that they send the PM to either binTravkin or Googlie. Second is that they explain what SMAC stands for in that PM. This is enough screening for new recruits in my opinion.
                    -> Explain how to join.




                    Others of our kind, those who have remained on Chiron must know of our efforts. Some of them could join us.


                    Inform other SMAC/cIVers


                    ->A week long annoucement appearing in the entire SMAC section, linking to information thread for our team.

                      You've summed the entire magnificient culture to a period of last 60 years. How shallow of you.

                        I know Isnt it though?

                        Let me reintroduce myself. i am pan wei liu, whose name apparently means power and pleasure...

                        my name of wilhelm pembroke gives this





                        My name of william pembrook gives this





                        Actually a few runs through and only the first 1 i got is remotely accurate. I think ill stick to the mans advice and ask a chinese person for a name
