Game opening: Galactic Conqueror From: hz@zardoz.ping.de (Harry Zimmermann) Date: Tue, 08 Sep 1998 00:00:00 +0000 Hi! In October I'll start GC18, the 18th game of Galactic Conqueror. Sign up is possible from now on. GC is a simple SciFi strategy game played via e-mail: * up to 50 players per game * Easy rules (14 commands) - Build Ships (26 classes) - Improve production facilities on planets - Research ( 7 research areas) - Espionage etc. * Graphical user interface for players (PC Windows ; Atari ST ; Linux) * Graphical user interface is recommended but not mandatory so that everybody can take part * free :-) More information, rules and the command editors can be obtained via the GC webpage: http://members.aol.com/gc3500/www/index_e.html Signing up is handled by a simple mail server whose address is: gcserver@zardoz.ping.de To sign on send a short e-mail to this address. Subject doesn't matter, the body has to contain the following line: #ANM GC18 <Language> <Player Name> where <Language> is GER if you want German turn reports or ENG if you want English turn reports. <Player Name> is the name you want to use in the game (maximum 15 characters, only letters, numbers and blanks). GC18 is the identification code of the game. Example: If you want to take part using the name "Darth Vader" and you want turn reports in English language you would send e-mail with the following line to gcserver@zardoz.ping.de #ANM GC18 ENG Darth Vader The server will also be used to manage all necessary game actions. Send an e-mail with subject "HELP" to its address to get a list of all available commands. Turn processing will be once a week, probably on Sunday or Wednesday. THe length of a normal game is about 25 turns, so it will last about half a year. Once in a while when my job leaves no time for GC, turn processing will have to be delayed for a couple of days. c u Harry +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Harry Zimmermann <--------<<<< ***** >>>>--------> hz@zardoz.ping.de | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Up
