Looking for players From: ddickie@world.std.com (David W Dickie) Date: Wed, 13 Mar 1996 00:00:00 +0000 I'm looking for a few players for a game called Mega Hyper Galactic Conquest. MHGC is your typical expand / grow / kill everyone else space conquest game. The name is derived from an old game I wrote and ran at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI or the 'tute) and HyperEconomic Diplomacy (a.k.a. GeoDiplomacy or Geodip). I was playing Geodip at the time I became motivated enough to ruin my life with this incredible time sink. The game is at best vaguely related to either of these preceding games, so don't base any strategies on the name selection. In the game, players attempt to balance expansion, capital investment, technology investment, and military conquest in order to be crowned "Grand Poohba of the Universe." MHGC runs over Email, and includes ASCII turn results and a ASCII based map. Sooner or later, there will be a PC front end, but it may be way later, so don't hold your breath. This is a serious strategic wargame, and you can expect two to three hours a turn once a week near the end game (games tend to last a year to a year and a half). It has been extensively playtested. You can get a more detailed look at the rules at my homepage: http://world.std.com/~ddickie Or send me some Email. Dave Up
