Hi!

End of June I'll start GC16, the 16th game of Galactic Conqueror.

GC is a simple SciFi strategy game played via e-mail:

* up to 50 players per game
  * Easy rules (14 commands)
     - Build Ships (26 classes)
     - Improve production facilities on planets
     - Research ( 7 research areas)
     - Espionage
     etc.
  * Graphical user interface for players (PC Windows ; Atari ST ; Linux)
  * Graphical user interface is recommended but not mandatory so that
    everybody can take part
  * free :-)

More information, rules and the command editors can be obtained via the
GC webpage:

http://members.aol.com/gc3500/www/index_e.html

Signing up is handled by a simple mail server whose address is:

gcserver@zardoz.ping.de

To sign on send a short e-mail to this address. Subject doesn't matter,
the body has to contain the following line:

#ANM GC16 <Language> <Player Name>

where <Language> is GER if you want German turn reports or ENG if you want
English turn reports. <Player Name> is the name you want to use in the
game
(maximum 15 characters, only letters, numbers and blanks). GC16 is the
identification code of the game. Example: If you want to take part using
the name "Darth Vader" and you want turn reports in English language you
would send e-mail with the following line to gcserver@zardoz.ping.de
#ANM GC16 ENG Darth Vader

The server will also be used to manage all necessary game actions. Send
an e-mail with subject "HELP" to its address to get a list of all
available commands.

Turn processing will be once a week, probably on Wednesday. THe length
of a normal game is about 25 turns, so it will last about half a year.
Once in a while when my job leaves no time for GC, turn processing will
have to be delayed for a couple of days.
