Players needed for an experimental game

Nagot Gick Fel · #1 July 2nd, 2004, 07:51 PM

So far I've received only pretenders from the following players:

metanile
Stelteck (only 4, a few more would be better)
Zenus
tinkthank
Balmoth

I still need about twice as many. C'mon people, a recent poll showed that your main interest in Dominions is to play to 'experiment new things'. That's your chance!

Nagot, didn't you receive my files?

Mail sent.

Only 11 nations, if you need more, let me know.

My designs probably will cause some laughter, but I'm in for the fun anyway.

Does anyone else think this sound really dodgy? He wants you to leave all of the pretender files unpassworded. No reason is given. He expects you to just tell him your password instead, even though he has the master password and doesn't need such a thing. Once again, no reason is given. Combined with the secrecy of just about everything involved in the game, including even what map is involved. Plus he expects that people will then immediately drop.

Does this sound a bit suspicious to you? Experimental is one thing, but this sounds like an outright scam.

16 pretenders sent.

Hehe. It took you much longer than I expected to come up with this.

It may sound 'dodgy' but there's a reason for this, and you and everyone else will understand when the game & victory conditions are made public. At this point, you'll be free to quit if these conditions don't suit you. Meanwhile, you have nothing to loose bar the time it takes to design a few pretenders and send them to me.

And I remind you rule #1: I won't play in this game.

That should be fine. The problem is you used a format I'm not familiar with (.ace). What kind of tool do I need to unpack this? If none is available as freeware, I'd like you to send them in zip format.

That Last point is the one that really matters.
