Re: PBEM Game: BERING (Open for players)
You youngsters...I'm running Dominions 3 on a hand-built Babbage machine made of recycled toothpicks and bottle caps. It takes me three hours just to input the turn, never mind play it. I transmit my orders back to Pasha over a disused telegraph line. The dots and dashes hit the only Atari 800 connected to the Internet. It runs a ping server that forwards the dots and dashes to Pasha, who is kind enough to run an sh script (not tcsh, not bash, nothing fancy like that) which makes the final translation back to a .2h file.
I hope to upgrade next year to an awk script (if I can get awk to compile on my Babbage machine; I'm spending my vacation on it).
So all in all, I'm comfortable staying with the initially advertised and agreed-upon pace.
