VGA Planets - Players wanted... From: dpwhite@cs-acad-lan.Lakeheadu.Ca (D P WHITE E-MAIL) Date: Tue, 31 Aug 1993 19:05:06 +0000 I'm starting a game of VGA Planets, but I haven't found enough players locally, so I'm looking to the Internet for the last 5 players. The races left are: The Solar Federation, the Fascists, the Cyborgs, the Crystal People, and the Lost Colonies of Man. Now for all the FAQs (as listed in the manual)... o The game will be starting on Friday, Sept. 3rd. o Turns will be run Weekdays, 1nce / day (It may get upped to 7 days/week) o Turn deadlines will be 7:00pm EST o File compression is up to the players, but I will only accept .ZIP format compression. o The game host IS playing. o The skill level will be Novice to Intermediate. o I'm using Version 3.0 (Shareware version) o Private alliance negotiations are allowed o Player passwords are up to the indiviual players o Players should state their first 3 choices of race - from those remaining. o Non-Standard race names - I would prefer noone used them - It can get confusing... o The ending condition of the game is to be the last player left alive, or, if the outcome is entirely obvious, you will be declared the winnner. o The game configuration: - Distance between homeworlds (Long) - Mineral richness of homeworlds (Extra Rich) - Starting Engine Tech level (6) - Recycle Rate of Colonizing ships (75%) - Odds of large meteor impact (8%) - Mine fields allowed (YES) - Alchemy ships allowed (YES) o Players should send their 'applications', questions, and turn files to: dpwhite@cs-acad-lan.Lakeheadu.ca (Daniel White) o Don't forget you will need a uuencode/uudecode package to convert turn and result files.
