Playtesters Wanted: Online Mafia Simulation From: vendetta@no.spam.please.strategygamers.org (John) Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2002 09:35:30 +0000 Vendetta is a 200-player Mafia Simulation depicting the rise of Organized Crime from the 1920s to the 1970s. It's the only game of its kind on the Web. Vendetta is played online using just your web browser; no downloads or plug-ins required. The latest, massively-expanded version of this award-winning game design is now nearing the end of in-house testing and we will shortly be launching a full, open Beta Test. We are now accepting Beta Testers for this latest version of the game, for which we need 60-200 players. We will run additional playtest games if the first is over-subscribed. There are no costs involved and you are under no obligations, other than perhaps to give us your comments & suggestions to help improve the game and to report any bugs detected. You may cease playing any time you like. No experience of playing Web Games is required. We would actually prefer some players to have very little or even no experience at all, as we also need to test the theory that our game is very easy to learn! All you really need to play & enjoy this game is an interest in the subject matter. If you would like to apply to join the list of beta-testers please visit our small pre-release site (more information about the game is available there) and complete the online Beta Test application form: http://www.strategygamers.org/~vendetta -Or else we'll send the boys round to have a quiet word... ;) With respect, John Sinacola Project Leader, Vendetta Simulations. IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the nature of the subject matter certain aspects of this historically-accurate & very realistic simulation might be considered by some to be suitable only for adults. Please do not apply to join 'Vendetta' if you are easily offended by the harsh realities of the imperfect society in which we live. Up
