:Is it just me... or does it seem a bit optimistic to try an remake
Olympia...
:with  *more* depth... with absolutely no programming experience or GM
:experience?
:
 More depth in that there is already an established pre-history and very
strong forces in place... there would be no initial land rush, as seen in
Olympia. Players will be able to work within the established system,
taking government, military or corporate positions and doing with them
what they will, or perhaps strike out on their own, hopefully taking
care to not antagonize the big boys. By no means am I degrading
Rich's work, I happen to think that Olympia is one of the most innovative
games I've ever come across.
But... I have seen things that I believe could be changed/approached
differently. I have no intention of remaking Olympia, as even though the
current design was inspired by it I've been working on this game since
spring of 1993, long before I came across Rich's game six months ago.

BTW, I'm only writing the rules which would be used to develop the
program... like I said, there's no way in hell I could do it on my own.
Perhaps I should have worded the post differently, more as a request
for assistance, since I know there will probably be a few flaming
comments made once some of the others read by blasphemous
post ;-). But, what's done is done. All who will flame me will flame
me, and those who might help me can still do so.
