Advanced Civ From: ac829@FreeNet.Carleton.CA (Andrew Hopkinson) Date: Wed, 15 Dec 1993 18:39:21 +0000 I have posted here before about running Advanced Civilization by e-mail and I am still trying to work out trading, which I think is the biggest problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? It seems to me there are 2 ways you could do it. You could run every other part of the game every week or so and have one day where everyone gets on an IRC system and do the trading all at once. The problem it might be kind of insane for 1 person to keep track of everyone's trade cards. And what about calamities? THe other way is to do it really informally where you are told what trade cards you have and you stipulate what you want to trade, for what, with who etc.... Movement would also be tricky since it's not simultaneous and order is VERY important. I don't know, maybe AC won't work as a pbm game but I would like to know what other people think since I think it's great but takes way too long to play normally. -- Andrew Hopkinson | "Life is like a pool full of jello.
