Looking for a game

[Saint_Dude]

Hellboy,

Thank you for the thoughtful reply.

I am well acquainted with PBEM. I have designed and hosted several PBEM scenarios. Unfortunately, PBEM games involving even a handful of players are slow moving and hosting is often analogous to herding cats. I don't mind compiling the turns, but it is a real drag to track down players that are late with their turns. I suppose one could enforce hard fast deadlines, but something about the personal aspect of EM makes such measures seem a bit harsh.

As you say, TCP/IP games are much more convenient (and I would think they tend to move at a much more reliable pace). However, I don't have a machine to dedicate as a server.

I was hoping to find a suitable game in the forum. But as you indicate, there appear to be a relatively small number of games advertised and running at any particular time (especially involving larger scenarios). I will keep my eyes open and hope something pops up.

Ultimately, I have played a lot of games vs. the AI and vs. my friends. I am looking for am now really looking for some fresh blood, new challenges, and new frontiers.

Did you try the dominions IRC channel?

[Saint_Dude]

I am not sure what the IRC channel is exactly. . . so no I haven't given it a try. Is it some sort of chat forum?

[Shovah32]

Sort of. If you've never even been on an IRC channel then i suggest you go to www.gamesurge.net/chat(its just the one i use which is why i suggested it) and, when it loads simply type in /join #dominions and you should be on our channel, ready to chat.

This looks to be a grand place to pick some gaming action.

It is! I recommend checking with the IRC channel on the weekends. There are usually more folk there looking for a blitz.
