Proposal: New PBeM Idea (Wondering) From: Richard Berg <s0154005@cc.ysu.edu> Date: Sun, 15 Oct 1995 00:00:00 +0000 Greetings... I am looking for people that are interested in creating a new PBeM game much on the same basis as several existing games and commercial ideas... I have played the infamous 'VGA Planets' for years now and thought it was time to possibly incorporate a few ideas I've had for a game of this type... I would like to run a 'Packet' format as 'VGA Planets' does (email availability) but with a new twist on things.. 'Lunar Conquest' would be in all actuallity the compilation of ideas rendered by playing a few commercial games on the market today, ie: SimCity, Outpost, Vga Planets... 'Lunar Conquest' would implement an overhead view of playing area much like SimCity, with an Outpost flavor.. Players would choose a race or corporation that's main goal is to colonize and poplulate earth's moon... With the use of some very structured items (rovers, labs, lasers, etc) a player would build, populate and run this lunar colony and attemp to take sole ownership of earth's moon.. Other players, attempting to do the same, would battle all striving to accomplish their main directive 'Seize Earth's Moon'... I have alot of ideas about game play, GUI, AI, Structures, and theory but would like to open this project to all available and interested parties willing to create the most impressive PBeM game since VGA Planets... I have some experience coding but visual much better.. Most of the ideas have been worked out in storyboard but other ideas are welcomed.. Be forwarned that this project seems long and tedious but will be one of the most enjoyable experiences to PBeM coders.. *NOTE* My GUI theory is based on a Visual C++ 32 structure with a possibly multimedia aspect (AVI's, Rendering, etc), so please try to keep ideas and theories in this area Well thank you all for listening (if you did at all!) and I hope to hear from the best of you..

Now I felt her hot breath on my neck; the sensitive skin on my throat began to tingle. Then I could feel the soft, shivering touch of her lips, and the sharpness of two teeth, pausing, just touching... I closed my eyes in ecstasy -- and waited ... Dracula - Bram Stoker 1897 Richard T.
