Mega Evil Empire

In a game I am playing I have just become I mega evil emire. 3 questions Coms to mind

1) Has this happened to anyone and what have you done about it?

2) The defualt setting of Mega Evil Empire ore 500k and 170 percent have you ever changed these and to what

3) Once you are the Mega Evil Empire can you go back to making friends again?

1) Yes. Oh, and then I act the part -- BEING mega-evil. If they're going to accuse moi of being such a threat (sometimes before I've even fired a shot), well, I'll give 'em something to talk about...

I tend to wait until MEE is declared before ramping up the cruelty level -- such as using biological warfare, engine bombs, heavy use of napalm, atmosphere bombs, and so forth.

2) Haven't bothered to change it. I'd be inclined to increase the 500k to something like 1-1.5 M, 'tho, because I usually play 255-system quadrants where 500k comes pretty early, expansion-wise...

3) Only, methinks, if you lose MEE status.

1: this has happened to me and I have just killed everyone

.
2: by changing these settings other empires will consider you to be mega evil later/earlier depending on how you change the settings
3: why would you like to make friends again? You're MEGA-EVIL anyway! muahahahahaaaa!!!!!!
(check the anger textfile this will give you a rough idea)

I'm not certain it's an "AND" condition on the 500k/170% score; I just passed 500k score in my current game, but I'm in 4th place (a distant fourth - 1, 2, and 3 have 1.1M, 1.3M, and 1.6M, respectively). Anyway, I just lost two long-standing treaties (with empires 2 and 3, BTW) in the Last four or five turns. I'm hoping they haven't decided I'M the MEE...

I am pretty sure it IS an 'AND' Conditon I had well over 200% of my closet opp. but I didn't get everone mad till I hit 500k

Interesting... maybe the 500k score is the only real trigger? Or maybe something else happened in my game to make everyone declare war on me...
