Ressurection of the SE Ladder
 

Do you remember the Space Empires Universe Ladder? If not, it was the first and greatest SE role-playing community out there (not to mention the only long-term successful one thus far (not counting PBC, which is an entirely different form of role playing)). If so, don't you want it back in business? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Unfortunately due to the illicit activities of a select few, it was shut down temporarily back in late 2002. Now, we are working on getting it back up to spec. We are looking for people interested in helping to create a new and improved role-playing and empire rules system in a private setting. If you are interested in making the best RP community to date, please contact me via email or IM. My info is in my profile. Or, you can post here. Info on how you could contribute would be helpful. Thanks.

Go to http://68.48.82.138:80 and then the Regulations page to see the current rules.

If you have any questions pertaining to the Ladder, I will likely be more than willing to answer them. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The new forums for the Ladder are just going Online at http://68.48.82.138:8888

Re: Ressurection of the SE Ladder
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">For the newbies, the long list of rules is overwhelming... then, just wanted to say that most of them were automated by the ladder's website.

Re: Ressurection of the SE Ladder
 

OK the new Ladder forum is up and has a basic lay out. There is a section for the Ladder and
a section for pickup games. It�s open to all and you don�t have to join the ladder to use it. You
can use it to organize side games and you can post your roll plays. It�s free to use and will
never pLaster you with pop ups. Check it out, then join up and tell us what you want. We also
need a few reliable people to act as Moderators.

Re: Ressurection of the SE Ladder
 

My post was a reference to the film fight club and intended to be humerous.

If you haven't seen it, watch it, it is a really good movie.

Re: Ressurection of the SE Ladder
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That was a good movie, but it got a little strange at the end.

Re: Ressurection of the SE Ladder
 

Nice to see part of the old community being resurrected. Whatever happened to the old SeaFork project? I was following that for a while, then I disappeared and I can't find anything about it now that I'm back!

Re: Ressurection of the SE Ladder
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, it is a great movie. It has a lot to think about dispite its self. I think it is one of the best movies ever made because of what it says not what it does. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Ressurection of the SE Ladder
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Oh really? Where did that come from?

Re: Ressurection of the SE Ladder
 

Fyron I once wrote a forum game named Domination. It was a lot of fun, and the rules are kinda straight forward to learn. The problem is, the info is on my old P2 400 and that PC Died. I think the HD's are ok and I do have a hard copy of the rules thanks to CNC. If you curious about them I can try and get the rules from the old HD>

So, anyone else interested in helping out?

Re: Ressurection of the SE Ladder
 

Not me, role playing isn't my thing. Now if you had a tournament...... why that's another thing http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Ressurection of the SE Ladder
 

I like the idea of only allowing people to attack a maximum of 10 systems at a time.

Suggestion: Allow alliance war: Same setup as any other war, except it is one alliance declaring the war on another alliance, a war in which all members of both alliances will participate, and the numbers do not have to be equall. It would be a major disadvantage to being a member of an alliance.

Nice to hear you shut down the whole dimension hopping thing, it was getting to be like the ladderverse was some sort of interdemensional turnpike where dimension hopers got lost for eons....

Re: Ressurection of the SE Ladder
 

Anyone?

Re: Ressurection of the SE Ladder
 

Well, I have less and less time and less and less desire to RPG, but could join as "user".

Re: Ressurection of the SE Ladder
 

I got time to kill.

I never took part in the original Ladder so i'll need some background info to know where I could fit in.

Re: Ressurection of the SE Ladder
 

Well, go to http://68.48.82.138:8888/ and join the forum. The regulations can be viewed at: http://68.48.82.138/ . If you want to help us revise them to make the best ladder possible, we would appreciate the help. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

MB: Do you have any time to make changes to the code?
