new game From: Jens Niemann <niemann@ike.uni-stuttgart.de> Date: Tue, 06 Oct 1998 00:00:00 +0000 THE "KING OF KINGS" PBEM GAME This game is a free amateur PBM/PBeM strategy game. KoK is similar to a variety of boardgames: Axis & Allies, Britannia and the like. You got a country and a tribe of warriors to expand your empire and subdue the weak. Any number of players can participate in one game, though current games run with 6 to 16 players. The next game to start is scheduled for 50 players, if enough manage to sign up. For those of you not familiar with PBM/PBeM: What is a PBeM anyways? Very short: In a Play-By-eMail-Game players make their game moves by sendign Emails to a game master who collects all moves and prercesses a game turn. Then, he sends the result to all players or posts them in a newsgroup or on a web page. In current KoK games the turn reports are currently only posted on a homepage. The 50-player game is the number K22. I will offer an all-email game for those who have no www access. This game will have number K24. If you want to participate, do the following: A) Look at the King of Kings homepage or my games homepage* B) Inspect the running games and rules and decide if it fits your interests* C) Send a message containing "K28" as a subject D) Wait till enough players have gathered * if you have no www access, just do steps C and D homepages king of kings: http://wwwcip.rus.uni-stuttgart.de/~lrt13777/kings/kings.htm other games: http://wwwcip.rus.uni-stuttgart.de/~lrt10398/games.htm -- Jens Niemann @}---}----- close your eyes, you can find all you need in your mind -----{---{@ (Dream Theater) Up
