That's one strange report... Interesting to say the least...

Lurk Report HERE
NOW AVAILABLE! THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL LURKER REPORT!!
This is mlmbd reporting from the Infamous "Land of LURK"! FLASH: CHECK OUT THE NEW, JUST RELEASED, COMMEMORATIVE SPACE EMPIRES IV GOLD DIGITAL ART PRINT. TWO SIZES AVAILABLE. IT IS SWEET!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO SHRAPNEL ON THE $500,000 mark in internet sales, of SEIV Gold!!!!!!!!!!!! Who would have thought, "SEIV Art Work", an internet MILESTONE of $500,000 in sales of SEIV Gold, "Spider Man" and "MY REPORT". All on the same day!! I couldn't want for better company!!! We now return you to your regularly secluded report: It is vast, seemingly limitless, this area known only as the "Land of Lurk". One might get the feeling or impression that you are "TOTALLY ALONE". YOU ARE NOT! There are, outcasts from everywhere here. The majority I would say, are the harmless variety. A collection of UN-WANTED, UN-CARED for, UN-NOTICED, by the mainstream, "MISUNDERSTOOD GEEKS". Of all ages, shapes, sizes and colors! Some of these, not all, are the the "HARMFULL VARIETY". They are obsessed with getting the individual or individuals responsible for their Excile here! Yet others, the "Ultimate Jerk" types. Different kinds of "Jerks", but "Ultimate" Jerks none the less. Next the everyday run of the mill "Jerks". No where close to the "Ultimate Jerk" class. But give them time, most of them are new to this! And to the Last group, that make up my new homeland, a group that is "totally oblivious", to the fact or circumstances of their being here. They by far the MOST troubling!! Must keep a close eye on them. Now, what I have noticed MOST since my arrival here. Is there are an UNTOLD number of Users from where I CAME FROM, that belong here. Cocky, arrogant know it alls, that belong to the "ULTIMATE JERK" group here. PRESPECTIVE, Never having this one before! It is very, very odd indeed this "NEW PRESPECTIVE" I have been given. I will treasure it, believe me! I do not want to start rambling, so I will end this here! I have U/L some animated Avatars for your use, or amusement. Please ENJOY them, either way!! I will include more Avatars, ship designs, animations with each future report. So, for NOW, this is "mlmbd" signing off from "the Land of Lurk". I "THANK YOU" And I bid you WELL!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif |

actually it is, some people here might like to get it to themselves. Also the name Mike Haynes sounds familiar, aint it's one of MM's graphics team?

Re: Lurk Report HERE
Hey! That poster isn't canon!
*sees 50 CSM volleys aimed at him* Uh-oh. |
Re: Lurk Report HERE
Thank you geoschmo!!
The art work is great, but I am thinking mouse pad. Not much of a poster person, either geoschmo. I am sorry if some are annoyed or confused. It was not my intention to do either! I was trying to amuse and mildly inform. There is a distinct difference between the interactive world, and the place where lurkers hang-out, i.e. the "Land of Lurk". Maybe, just maybe, next weeks report will be more enlightening, informative and amusing! Here is hoping, anyway. mlmbd http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif |
Re: Lurk Report HERE
A neat poster, but it doesn't feel like SE to me.

Re: Lurk Report HERE
Maybe a tin lunchbox. With that awesome new poster on the front of it.

Re: Lurk Report HERE
I like the lunch box and thermos combo.
Put me down for 1... |
Re: Lurk Report HERE
The Coffee mug would be much, much better. For:
Keep playing SEIV Wake up to play SEIV and to see the SEIV logo first thing in the morning reminding you to play SEIV. Also add an option to say in the mug: The best emperor in the universe http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif |

Re: Lurk Report HERE
I hope Malfador offers more SE related merchandise, it's a great series and can do well.

Re: Lurk Report HERE
How about SEIV T-shirts and baseball caps?
And SEIV bumper stickers and windshield decals. And action figures of each of the races. And a SEIV collectable card game SEIV towels SEIV cereal with little bits shaped like spaceships. SEIV watches |
Re: Lurk Report HERE
Coffee Mugs, what a GREAT idea. Either the regular kind, or more elaborate MUGS that change as they cool. Or add a CAPTION!!
DANG, wish I had thought of those! mlmbd http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif |
Re: Lurk Report HERE
"I imposed my dictatorial will upon the entire galaxy and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."
If you want SEIV merch... print your own. Many modern printers can print onto special paper which can then be ironed on to T-shirts. I have some Viking designs I really ought to get round to printing... |

Re: Lurk Report HERE
Just a thought...
Has anyone ever been to Cafepress? The could make most of these things you're talking about, and Shrapnel could sell them through Cafepress (with the exception of the merchandise it currently sells through gamersfront), or gamersfront could use cafepress to sell that stuff itself, though that might be somewhat convoluted. Anyway, the Stainless Steel Travel Mug with "Take me to your Litre" and an angry alien face of some sort would be most excellent. I'd want one, at least. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif +++Edit+++ List of available products is here [ November 08, 2002, 03:50: Message edited by: Hotfoot ] |
Re: Lurk Report HERE
LOL! Hotfoot, one of the items on the site that can be used just got me laughing so hard. You could make a SEIV Thong design! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif For all those husband/boyfriends out there to buy their sweeties. Oh that would be so friggin hilarious!

Re: Lurk Report HERE
I got these from there too...
You are friendly enough. We accept. We accept. Just keep in mind that we will sense any betrayal you may be thinking of. We gladly accept and welcome our new ally! We knew you would propose this, and gladly accept! A new day of cooperation has dawned! You cannot mask your vile intentions. We have read your thoughts of conquest of our empire, and now we shall make sure you never have those thoughts again. Ouch, that one sounds harsh... Ok I'm done with those for now. Just thought I'd add them... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif |
Re: Lurk Report HERE
Ah man I am but a poor college student and I so badly desire to hang one of those posters on my wall in my dorm. I cannot be happy until I possess a poster with the SEIV....

Re: Lurk Report HERE
You guys are killing me!
Add a glow in the dark SE IV emblem and you got a real ticket item! |
Re: Lurk Report HERE
also the cafepress would be a convient way for mm or shrapnel to make more SEIV (or other games) merchandise. I think www.realultimatepower.net uses that site, heck my friend has the ninja hooded sweatshirt
Om! HLA! Ninjas in SEIV.... that would be real complete ultimate super power... [visit ]www.realultimatepower.net Itd be really cool to have NINJAS in space! edit for address correctness edit again: RUP.net uses cafeshops.com for their stuff, my bad [ November 08, 2002, 05:13: Message edited by: Instar ] |

Re: Lurk Report HERE
This is; mlmbd http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif , with LURK REPORT VOL.II:
Or, as I have so fondly come to know it THE SECOND COMING!!! First on my list is to clear something up. For those of you that were confused, by the first report. LURK: 1. to stay hidden, ready to spring out, attack, etc.; lie in wait 2.to exist undiscovered or unobserved; be present as a latent or not readily apparent threat 3. to move furtively. These definitions are from the "NEW WORLD DICTIONARY" I'm sure "WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY" would concur. That all said. The second (2) definition of LURK (or as it is known on the Internet, LURKING) applies here. So, THE LAND OF LURK(my NEW home for any that missed it) is full of all types of people. Hence my paragraph, about JERKS and the like. And ALL of the other types that make up this community. FROM THE FIRST LURK REPORT: There are, outcasts from everywhere here. The majority I would say, are the harmless variety. A collection of UN-WANTED, UN-CARED for, UN-NOTICED, by the mainstream, "MISUNDERSTOOD GEEKS". Of all ages, shapes, sizes and colors! Some of these, not all, are the the "HARMFULL VARIETY". They are obsessed with getting the individual or individuals responsible for their Excile here! Yet others, the "Ultimate Jerk" types. Different kinds of "Jerks", but "Ultimate" Jerks none the less. Next the everyday run of the mill "Jerks". No where close to the "Ultimate Jerk" class. But give them time, most of them are new to this! And to the Last group, that make up my new homeland, a group that is "totally oblivious", to the fact or circumstances of their being here. They by far the MOST troubling!! Must keep a close eye on them. Now, to UPDATE YOU. THEY ARE ALL STILL HERE!!!!! There were a few that ventured out into the REGULAR INTERNET COMMUNITY this week. But with NO luck. They were once again rebuffed and or ostracize, by the REGULAR INTERNET USERS. Tis a shame though, we were ALL NEW to something or another, at one time. In fact we ALL started out as LURKERS or NEWBIES. A fact that I am pretty sure, MOST of us have long since forgotten. Ah well. Such is LIFE ON THE INTERNET!!! This weeks GRAFIX'S ADDITION, contains several AVATARS and one ship (from a ship set that I am working on) it isn't very good. I cannot figure out how to get it from the modeler into a really good BMP. So by all means please enjoy!! SORRY, This the link to GRAFIX'S STUFF http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...ubb=forum;f=50 dogscoff, A phong thong, just gotta have one.....hehehehehe So for NOW, This is; mlmbd http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif , Signing off till next we meet!! I "THANK YOU" And I bid you WELL!! edited to add a link [ November 08, 2002, 14:19: Message edited by: mlmbd ] |

Re: Lurk Report HERE
I have an idea. Let's get Victoria's Secret to design a whole line of SE4 lingerie. I predict Shrapnel would hit the million $ sale mark in just a matter of weeks. Is Heidi Klum available for some proof of concept layouts?
