This page is dedicated to the many glorious empires I have built and played at various v2.8 servers, including Regensberg, PressEnter, Lysator (long gone), VividNet (long gone) and Tool. Some of these empires became extinct when a server stopped carrying Stellar Crisis. I like naming my empires after old movies. My favorite names often fill the empire name entry at the login.
Starting in December, 1997, I was only playing as Bird of Prey, Winter and, rarely, The Left Hand of God. I list empires after either I tire of using the empire or people start to figure out it's me.
If you've played any of the following, you've played the Bird. One exception - The Unforgiven is now a very successful empire played by Supreme. I had the name but he wanted it I guess.
chirp, chirp!
