Article-I.D.: mi-cec.115 Posted: Fri Jul 16 14:13:21 1982 Received: Sat Jul 24 01:32:24 1982 Some notes from a beginner after his first game (warning: contains whining which may be considered offensive; parental guidance suggested): o routes should be able to fork. o why do commands like 'route' take up BTU's? o it is undestandable that some commands are unusable without money; However, messages like 'enlist is not a valid command' are worse than useless (I tried a dozen different spellings/capitalizations/synonyms before someone told me what was wrong). o If not now the case, ALL actions of the Deity should be detailed in the news. o There should be a means to create a world where the Deity has only the powers of initial creation and final destruction; I envy any site where scruples are so high that tampering is not a concern (I trust I do not need to enumerate the circumstances which prompted this). o It seems unlikely that nations on the verge of nuclear power have no idea of the shape of the continents. A map of the world should be available. Besides being extremely useful, this would somewhat offset the 'world view' of the player who is also the Deity.
