Not in, but thanks.

I would most likely force everyone of my crew member to MEMORIZE every single episode of The Simpsons so we can replace military jargon with Simpsons reference. That way we can make everyone crazy just trying to understand the secret code of our ship... which would give psichological advantage over our enemies. Then we could just defeat any adversaries while they are still looking at us trying to understand what the hell is going on... and take their ships and guns, and clothes, and food... And then, I'll just abandon my crew. Because I would already own the universe :D

I know, too crazy, right? :P

Muhahah...
I am a one man show of course, so I would tell everyone to meet in the engine room. Once there, I would lock all the doors, and open the airlocks. >:D Quite evil of me, haha. Then I could just steal the ship away into a far off galaxy all alone and peaceful. Then I would probably go insane and start talking to my hands, but that's another tale.

nice giveaway idea! not in, thanks +1

I would go up to every member of the crew individually and tell them how much I value their contributions. Then I would go back to each of them individually and tell them that I didn't mean what I said earlier! That would hurt their feelings for sure! ;)

Please count me in. Thank you. +1

There sure is a lot of emotional abuse in here.

Not in, as FTL already sits in my long-neglected backlog.

I would give the same talk I heard from every other new base captain, division leader, or shop supervisor who came along:

"I have an open door policy blah blah"
"I expect you to work hard but we'll also play hard blah blah"
"If you put forth that extra effort I'll be able to let you out early on Fridays blah blah"
"I'm the new guy here so let me know if you have suggestions to improve our blah blah blahbiddy blah"

Friggin' torture to the enlisted schlubs standing in the hot sun on the hot asphalt in their dress blues, to hear the same old bullshit they heard the last five times.

And then I'd run the place exactly as screwed up as it was before my arrival.

About this time tomorrow...

I would create a false alarm that would force the majority of the crew to enter stasis to survive while sealing myself on the command deck (sabotage the power system or something). Then I would selectively revive them. Ruling over them as the god of the new world. Those who displeased me would be killed and fed to my glorious faithful. In time my cult will grow as we descend without warning from the stars, enslaving or massacring the inhabitants of the worlds we find. For shall not be a kind god, I will be as the gods of old, and I shall demand sacrifice. Bow insignificant fool, BOW BEFORE YOUR GOD.

I'm in, and should I win I shall make sure my captains' uniform doesn't include a red shirt.

Not in as I already have FTL and have gifted several copies as well. Great game! Enjoy and thanks for the giveaway.

If only FTL had gravity control. Diabolical, with the side effect of training your grunts to have superstrength.

PMing you the code!

Thanks guys. There's a lot of solitude amongst you all... Always getting rid of the crew instead of enslaving them. But there were plenty of demented plans in here, for sure. Remind me not to cross yas!

Good thing I refreshed the forums one more time before going to bed. :)

Code redeemed and thanks so much! I have a feeling that I may be having a sci-fi movie/FTL weekend coming up soon. :P

It was fun reading everyone's twisted power fantasies. I'll try not to abuse my crew too much... unless I get bored. Thanks again!
