Simulation pbm games? From: grantham@math.lsa.umich.edu (Jon Grantham) Date: Thu, 01 Feb 1990 05:51:29 +0000 I'm taking a class here at the U o' M on the Arab-Israeli conflict which involves a rather elaborate computer simulation. It seems to me that a similar sort of thing could be run via e-mail over the net. What it would have is players at various sites representing different countries and communicating via e-mail. There would be a moderator who would use some method to decide the outcome of actions. I guess it would be a combination of a Diplomacy-like game and an rpg, only with more realism. If anyone knows of any such activity, please mention it. I looked for other newsgroups where it might be occuring, but no dice. If it's not occuring, what do people think of the difficulties involved? If there's a more appropriate newsgroup, please let me know. -- grantham@math.lsa.umich.edu Jon_Grantham@ub.cc.umich.edu grantham@super.org Up
