What's the TBG universe?

It's an open-ended, single-viewpoint, science-fiction, play-by-web game.

If that didn't help then go here

My starship is called Storm after my favourite X-men character, and funnily enough so is it's captain!

I started playing TBG a year and a half ago on 31st May 2001. At that time the TBG universe was at turn 659. I started out with only a few demo modules and 4 officers. Now I have over 40 advanced modules and the officers each have a crew of 16 members to help them out.


Here's what my ship looks like at the moment (turn 945).

Friends

These guys have helped me in some way during my exploration of the TBG universe.

Happily Deranged

Berberian

Dracon Maru

UNTOUCHABLE



Enemies

ALL UPF ships which run around the galaxy attacking/demanding cargo from human players under the pretex of policing the universe on behalf of the alien races!

Angel Seriphoth - for attacking me out of greed

Plague Bearer - for trying to intimidate me into giving him one of my hard earned modules

Flying Beak - for trying to intimidate me into giving him my hard earned Advance Fighter

USS Agamemnon - for attacking me for no reason other than greed disguising it in the name of the Fierce One.



Ex - Enemies & New Friends

Borg Prime - for succeeding in intimidating me into giving him one of my hard earned modules (making him an enemy (even though he said it would benefit me eventually!)). But then true to his word, he did give me a free module Turn 965 so I guess that makes us friends again!



Ambitions

To be the richest Ship in the TBG Universe. So far I'm no. 10 out of 200.
