Alpha testing is about to begin on a new strategy/diplomacy
PBeM.

Experienced PBeM players, especially those with game
development/testing experience, are wanted.

The chosen playtesters will play for free.  Read on for
specific qualifications.

Also solicited are interested, experienced PBeM programmers

Some of you may have enjoyed Galaxy, a space-conquest game
by Russell Wallace.  Others may have enjoyed the strategic
and diplomatic elements, but got bogged down in the tactical
minutia.

Would you be interested in a PBeM game that would:
*  Allow you to prepare and send a move in five to ten
minutes
*  Therefore allow for a gentle game pace of 1 turn per day
while freeing you up to explore more fully the diplomatic
and strategic elements of a game.
*  Test your ability to win allies and rally support.
*  Allow you to experiment with psychological warfare,
intelligence, and counter-intelligence.

If so, and if you�re a creative, experienced PBeM gamer,
then you may be helpful in the first running(s) of mIRCury.

Interested, qualified players should send responses (300
words or less please) to the following questions to:
Michael H. Bean
Garbanzo@ix.netcom.com
no later than midnight February 1, 1996.

1.  What PBeM game(s) are you currently involved in?

2.  What PBeM games have you played start to finish?

3.  What PBeM games have you started, but lost interest in?

4.  What elements of the game contributed to your loss of
interest.

5.  What PBeM games have you lost interest in but continued
playing, only to regain interest later in the same game?

6.  What most contributed to your ability to regain
interest?

7.  List, in order of descending importance, the five most
important factors that make for a good PBeM game?  Defend
your list.

8.  Cite examples of games you have developed, assisted in
developing, or tested a new game (PBeM or not).

We hope to hear from you soon.
