I have got that problem right now. A few weeks ago I joined "Keys of Bled". Some days later I was told: "You WERE the captain of a interstellar colony ship....... Regaining consciousness you found yourself on a planets surface uninjured, but with your ship totally destroyed (not a single screw left of it). You found a total of 200 survivors....... Livestock (enough for several month) and horses (20) survived the crash." What now? West of our location flows a huge river, eastwards it gets dry and drier (probably a desert) and it's getting cold as winter is close. Shelter and food (as well as some work) is needed, some weapons would make me feel saver. Problem over problem - but a LOT of fun to make it work nevertheless. Is somebody out there with more knowledge about Bled ? I'd like to hear from you. Do you know any other GOOD pbm-games (except Diplomacy) ? -- =============================================================================== you hear the cocatrice's hissing. ..cernvax!ethz!coka
