" " Name the game and our method of access. " " " " Lord Kahless " I repeat an earlier letter posed by J BUCK From postnews Mon Sep 9 13:26:15 1985 Subject: Empire Game Newsgroups: net.games.emp Distribution: net We have a machine sitting here doing nothing. How many people would be interested in playing a nation-wide game of Empire? Perhaps the best player from each facility (school, institute, research center, technology center, lcm or hcm factor, whatever) could play? You would have to foot the phone bills to Long Island, NY though. (At least it's 300/1200 baud, not just 300). Please let me know if you are interested asap. I was planning on starting this thing October 1. This would allow ample time for people to log on and get the new INFO pages they need, etc. (The version of Empire we would use would be the one I discussed in the previous article. ALL BUGS FIXED (Yeah, right!), well, at least all known bugs.) Details to follow if people are interested. (No, we are not on telenet or anything like that.) Send replies to: decvax!mcnc!rti-sel!polyof!john or philabs!ron1!polyof!john PS: Only 32 countries, 128x128 world, nukes, multi-span bridges, and all. No cheating. ***** I have been assured that a game will occur if there are respondants (one per location) ***** so lord kareless, RESPOND... FTG
