Well, Livonya did not give me the impression that he was quitting.  He was going to test to see if he could reproduce the problem for me but then he never got back to me.  I've assumed that RL has kept him busy or something.

Metaverse games may be re-submitted once but only once. So you still may play that game and replace that "Defeat".

It's good to see you post. In the end playing for fun is the only way that anyone keeps playing.

I do want to point out that there are divisions in the AltMeta dedicated to non-military victories (Alliance, Influence, Technology) in various size galaxies. The point of these divisions, brackets, classes (whatever you want to call them) is to provide a place where people can play the type of game that they prefer yet still have a place to compete on an even footing with others that play similar types of games. I would suggest that you at least check it out.

The AltMeta Class Beta thread provides some explaination of how the AltMeta works and the motivation behind it. Also the AltMeta Help Desk is where you can get any questions about the AltMeta answered and can ask to be added to the list of characters.

In any case the AltMeta is certainly a different set up than the "official" metaverse. It is by no means perfect nor does it address every issue and concern that you've pointed out but it does address some of them and our goal is to improve upon it over time based on player feedback. Even so it may still not be your cup of tea. There's nothing wrong with that. As I said if you aren't playing for fun then you won't be playing very long any way. But please do at least give the AltMeta a look see.

Also regardless of anything else please keep in touch with folks here at these forums.
