Who is currently playing in the Estra Galaxy?
I am Nicademus (Mike Hart, Nicademus@sbcglobal.net)
I am playing a miner
I played in the old galaxies of Tarkia
Current Players
I am Tregonsee (Steve Galpin, lensman13@aol.com)
I am playing an ICB
I played in old Estra I when it was play by mail.
I am GrimFinger (Charles Mosteller, GrimFinger@GrimFinger.Net)
I am playing a Cybernetic.
I have never played Takamo, before.
This Ap Bac
Grand Magister of the Apshain Federation.
We are a Ag Corp from the original galaxy of takamo. I don't know if we were the largest or most powerful to ever exist but we were close to the top of the list. I just signed up yesterday (13 april) and am still waiting to hear back with my starting setup. When I get it I'm going to be looking for clients.
One of the things I'll be doing is scanning worlds, looking for planets to occupy. If you know anything about Ag and Trade corps, we can't occupy them ourselves, but we van find them for others who can. I will be willing to trade planetary locations to other players for development for a random planet terraformed for me once in a while. the exact number we can work out to our benefit somewhere along the line. Of course, I also just happen to have Ag centers to drop on your planets. Trust me you want those badly, they are very useful.
I also need to find a trade corp to trade favors with.
From a cursory reading of the forums I'm finding that the galaxy is full of dangerous junk that just did not exist before. there were very little problems in the old galaxies. this one people are getting into shooting matches and other odditie problems (black holes) instintaniously. Never used to happen. Does not bode well for the future. I don't think we need to shoot at each other in this game, there will be too much else too shoot at already.
Pleasure doing business with you in the future...

Another Ag Corp setting up.

Waiting for my setup as well. I'm looking for allies! and others..........
I welcome the Grand Master of the Apshain Federation and offer to discuss items of mutual interest when appropriate.

Welcome all look forward to ...not...running into you guys..lol

Yes this is troubling. how can you feed the galaxy, when everyone else is assimilating it?
Greetings from [size=large]Trans-Galactic Van Lines[/size]
We are the (soon to be) premiere interstellar trade firm in known space, just now setting up shop. (I missed getting orders in, so now I have a slightly bigger pile of resources to play with this week.)
Hello there, I am playing an Independent Civilization Builder named Arcturus.
It is the first time I play Takamo.
So far I am the only miner in the galaxy. Can anyone say "corner the market?" Of course I would like to do it humbly....
The only miner you know of! Trust me when I say there are several more players playing Takamo that are identifying themselves here. Some, unfortunately, aren't even members of playbymail.net. On the bright side, you are the only miner I know. So guess who will be getting my business.

Why yes, I can say that. And I know of at least one miner besides yourself. ;)

Welcome aboard Sam, glad to see you in the game!
So many things to learn. It's crazy. Not used to the old pen and paper format really but in a way has its own charm. Awesome.
ok so thats 3 miners that I know of...welcome Sam. I play a miner also. I can help you if you have questions ask away
Well, I would ask if you can send probes to your own locations but...it turns out you can but they are treated as hostile with extreme prejudice. I was curious.

Habitat range is 2/2 so from 1/1 to 3/3 or lose to that

Okay Han Solo,
I'll see if I can find some planets in your range. Some planets that aren't too close to my cargo route. :P
I guess I'm another miner from Baxel Galaxy, though been out of the game for 20+ years. Slowly coming back but do recognize a few of you out there.

I am the Supreme Haggler of the Cestodial Hegemony. We are merchants...of sorts. We buy things and sell things. Often the things we buy and sell are deemed "inappropriate" for one artificial reason or another. We do not care what liquid or chemical you pour/snort into which orifice...we only want you to be happy. You could, in fact, call us "happiness merchants"!
Let us make you happy!

What was the inspiration for your empire name?

From Wikipedia (hope there are no college professors reading this thread)...
Cestoda (Cestoidea) is the name given to a class of parasitic flatworms, of the phylum Platyhelminthes. Informally biologists refer to them as Cestodes.
A species evolved from intestinal worms would make a pretty good smuggler back story (or so I thought).

Apologies for being absent most of the time. I've had a lot of medical issues and work issues lately. Slowly getting back into the game.
Thanks
The High Harvest Church is alive and well in the Estra Galaxy. I used to play D'Arc Tangent in the Tarkia Galaxy, and also played during the Molden Age of snail mail. Just back in again (Turn 4 coming up), and hoping we can get the forums active once again.
