Evidence That Your An Idiot Emperor If:

[PvK]

165. Your emperor portrait is exactly the same as your population picture.

[Atrocities]

166. If you are first for the war, then against it before you were for it just before you were against it again.
167. If your bid for office is endorsed by the galaxies most wanted terrorist the day before the election.
168. If you believe the people who crashed hijacked passinger transports into your captitol were really just victims and not terrorists.
169. If you won your appointment to office by suing the election process and whining and throwing tempor tantrums until you got your way.
170. If your soul goal in becoming the leader of your people is to obolish thier civil rights, suspend the constitution and declare marshal law because you saw that Emperor dude do it in Star Wars and get away with it.

176. If you choose the Neutral happiness trait
177. If you try to build a station in a black hole sector(is this even possible)
178. If you get your butt kicked by the AI
179. If you blow up your home planet reenacting Star Wars

[Mayday]

180. You construct Sphere World or Ring World pieces in planetary orbit.

[Atrocities]

181. You simotaniously construct 10 colony ships only to discover you failed to include an engine in the design.

[Mayday]

182. You automate your factories that produce automated death machines.

[brianeyci]

183. You make satellites with DUCI and fortify a warp point, expecting them to hit (they have 1 range).
184. You don't keep track of your minerals, so one ship manages to destroy your homeworld because you don't have enough minerals left to build a weapons platform.
185. You get ancient race trait, find the enemy homeworld, realize that the warp point is within six range, move your attack ship to the other side of the warp point, then cackle with glee since you believe you will ambush their homeworld through a warp point before they have a chance to build weapons platforms. Too bad you forgot to turn off "ships stop when entering new systems and encountering enemy ships" option.

(all the above happened in one game and resulted in me losing in 11 turns lol).

Not too hard with retroseries building:

Master Computer III: 4000 minerals
5000 hitpoints of crystalline armor: 2380 minerals
Repair bays to fix it all: 1500 minerals
Getting the enemy to attack a black hole base: priceless

-----

Note: organic armor works well too, with the advantage of regenerating after battle to full strength.
The other armors are either too weak (hp/kt) or too small (not enough space for extra repair bays)

C&C plus hole survival equipment := 1800 kt.
Leaves you 700 kt for weapons/shields/armor that you can use in battle on a starbase.

[Starhawk]

186.Your dreaded "shock troops" are really just Star Wars Imperial Stormtroopers in blue instead of white. (think about how good stormtroopers are and you'll get it )

187. You build 1 super monitor and a bunch of transports and let your empire be destroyed planet by planet so you can reinact Battlestar Galactica.

188. You have to take conrol of the AI because they are doing better then you all the time.

189. You beleive saying "May the Force Be With you" before every battle will allow your dramatically outnumbered and outclassed fleet to win.

190. The AI constantly sends you Messages saying "Please buddy stop fighting me my crews are getting tired killing so many of you."

191. The AI that keeps kicking your royal *** is a Decapoidian shipset

[Atrocities]

192. If the AI that is kicking your *** is set to NO BONUS, and is a negative -50% to all characteristics with no advanced trait and the Neutral Culture.
