Olympia is in Playtest From: skrenta@blekko.rt.com (Rich Skrenta) Date: Wed, 11 Mar 1992 17:31:26 +0000 One very important thing which I forgot to mention in the "What is Olympia?" description: the disclaimers. Olympia is in playtest. I change the map between turns. I change the rules between turns. I delete some skills and add news ones. I move markets around. I wipe out trade goods and create new ones. I change the amount of money that WORK produces. I create NPC assassins to kill players I don't like. What this means in the PBM context is that your orders will fail for any number of reasons, most of which are out of your control. If this doesn't bother you, or if you enjoy suggesting game improvements in a dynamic environment, by all means play. But please don't skip your wedding or your son's birth to get your turn in on time, and then come after me with a hatchet when your orders fail because I deleted skill [104]. In short: I do not guarantee the consistency of the world. (BTW, I don't really create NPC assassins to kill players. I'm just trying to scare you off.) -- Rich Skrenta <skrenta@rt.com> Referenced By Up
