Another New PBM Game From: rgssxr@abcom.ATT.COM (2249 Scott Russell ) Date: Wed, 08 Aug 1990 18:28:48 +0000 I am posting this for a friend who no longer has access. All inquiries should be directed to him. Thanks. /*************************************************************************/ 07/23/90 To all interested gamers, I will soon be starting up a new PBM game, "Departmental Empire Builder". In it, each player runs a department of his country, allocating resources, making deals, building things, and running "turf wars" (guard missions) to build the best department. Three departments make up a coun- try. Thus individual and team victories are possible. Prizes will be awarded at the end of the game to the best departments in various areas. There have been two test games run already, so most of the bugs have been worked out. It is mostly computer-moderated to ensure fairness and consistency. The Game Master (GM) watches over the game, writes news re- ports, and runs a special "bad guy" country. There are some initial fees that must be paid before turn 1 will be processed. After that, there are no more fees. They are: Manual: $2.00 (copying costs) Administration: $0.00 (first live game) Prize: $3.00 (contribution to prize "pot" to be awarded at the end) All applicants must notify me by 08/21/90. The first turn will be mailed out no later than 08/31/90. Turns will be due every 3 weeks, unless the players have problems with that. The game length will be 9 turns, with turn 9 being informational only. If you are interested, please contact me before the entry deadline. If needed, I can mail you a manual to help you decide. If practical, it is best to form your own team of 3 players before you apply, since you'll do most of your dealing with them. If this is not practical, you'll be assigned a department and country, though I will try to work in prefer- ences. Scott Bowyer (407) 298-3378 6738 Stardust Ln.
