Newcomer to PBEM in despair! From: innocnce@pip.dknet.dk (Innocence) Date: Wed, 22 May 1996 00:00:00 +0000 Allright, here it goes: After spending months on the Net, surfing, downloading, subscribing to NewsGroups, and beginning to get a feel for the Net community, I started to look for netgames that didn't have to be played on-line (phonebill's high enough without playing Warcraft and MUD's!!), and quite naturally came across this NG. Now, I've read the FAQ, looked through the PBEM-list and some of the postions on the NG, hoping that would answer all my quesions, but it left me with the biggest question unsolved: What are the chances of getting to play in the few non-commercial games? I'm pretty sure this is will seem like a silly question to the experienced gamer, but it seems to me that there are few (if any) announcements for starting games on this NG (or isn't that the purpose of rec.games.pbm?) Surely, I get the point that there seem to be more players than there's room for in the games, but still, I was hoping to find more clues on the NG as to where and when new games will start, instead of only the 'inside' talk (but then of course, 'inside' is only 'inside' as long as you yourself is 'outside' - just as on all other NG's...). Anyway, I'm quite interrested in space-settings (diplomacy & conquest), like the Galaxy kind, so if anyone can/will help me on that, please don't hesitate to mail me, as I'm quite anxious to start playing!!!!!
