New Galaxy Game Solar starting From: rwallace@unix1.tcd.ie (russell wallace) Date: Thu, 23 Jul 1992 14:04:09 +0000 I'm posting this message for Rob McNeur, because he doesn't have reliable posting access at the moment. Please reply to him (rob@ccc.govt.nz), NOT to me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Greetings Net.World I intend to start a new game of Galaxy this coming weekend (Game Solar). 2 moves per week, 30-40 players, NO alliance wins this time. Standard code (version 3.0 hopefully). First in, first served. Reply to "Rob@ccc.govt.nz" and quote "Solar Galaxy" in the subject line. Deadline for entries is Saturday 25th 11:30 pm GMT. For those of you who haven't come across it before, Galaxy is a game of interstellar war for several email players. You are the leader of your race. You start off by sharing an area of the galaxy with a number of other races and your objective is to become its sole occupant. Each race starts off occupying one planet and the other planets are uninhabited. It is possible to colonize uninhabited planets and conquer planets inhabited by other races. You design your ships for colonising, war and defense and expand out into the uncharted wastes. Orders are sent to me as email messages, I check them, process them all together twice a week and send the results out to all players. Scheming, plotting and backstabbing between players is available and encouraged. Rules are available from me if necessary. Also any questions can be passed to me for answers. (This is really a proof of the "Big-Bang theory". As one Galaxy ends, a new one begins !)
