Games fo ZXNet

Hello Alexey. Replying to a msg dated May 15, 2001 12:14, from Aleksey Senilov to Andrey Frolov. Regarding the subject: you play GALAXY PLUS! Fortunately, there is a gate with Fido, and there gate with the Internet. You must write to galaxy@pbem.msk.su, and in any line of the letter write HELP. Everything will be explained to you there. My friend, Valker, sitting in ZxNet of the year 2 ago, this is exactly how I had fun. He still plays this game, though now from the Internet. The game is quite complex, moves happen 3 times a week. In the party plays from 20 to 500 people, depending on traffic. There are games with less number of moves per week, sometimes more. But 3 is optimal. For Each move takes about two days to think about it properly. I've long had the idea of doing something like this on spec, even people's strategy I started designing, but everything stalled. And rightly so. Because it's more interesting play where there are a lot of people. But a server on the Internet doesn’t work for me this way jump over. Which, in principle, is the essence of pbem games (Play By E-Mail). People from all platforms play, and here cross-platform hostility disappears. The only thing Speck lacks is a server program, which would process text information and visualize it. For example, a map galaxies, calculation of distance to other planets, research, raw materials, construction of ships, and battle, in the end! Much more enjoyable in real timewatch a firefight between squadrons than to see just the numbers of the final the result of the battle and the reasons for victory and defeat. In general, people, play. If you have any questions, I will answer. Vlad

Hello Ivan! Ivan Bogomolov ==========> Pavel Fedorov: PF>> I like the idea, but will others like it... IB> Well, I used it as an example. For example, there is also a game like IB> vgaplanets - galaxy and some other (I don’t remember the name). It will be much easier to write a client for Galaxy, all the reports and commands in text form. I saw VGA Planets, but somehow it didn’t work for me got carried away. I found out about Galaxy about a year and a half ago, and have been constantly since then. I lead 2 - 4 games on Pavel Sitnikov’s server and on Sargon. I think with appropriate commercial interest Cyberex/RS I would take up writing a client for Speccy. === Cut === Popular about Galaxy PLUS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Galaxy PLUS is a multiplayer strategy game fantastic network computer game. Each of the players - leader of the race in the Galaxy. The goal of the game is to control your race, extend your power throughout the Galaxy. Galaxy has been played for a long time por. Many people find it so fascinating and interesting that spend long hours playing. Although the whole game can be reduced to a reference several lines of commands to the Galaxy server, these commands are so important for players that players spend a lot of time on their contentpart of the time. In addition, Galaxy has the ability to communicate with the rest of the players. And since the real addresses of the players are stored in secret, and no one without the desire of the players themselves will be able to find out their real address, the possibility of role communication arises when each of participants acts and speaks on behalf of a character they have invented. A character with his own traits, his own character, his own views on life, which may not coincide with the views of the player himself. In a word, Galaxy - this is your own world, a real virtual reality. The Galaxy is seething real life. Here and there words of friendship and enmity are heard, curses and gratitude, gloating and pleas for help. On space shipyards are building star ships of the most diverse and incredible characteristics. New planets are developing technologies are being developed, new mineral deposits are being developed minerals, alliances are formed and wars are declared. On every move in Each Galaxy takes place an uncountable number of events. Space airliners fly from planet to planet, delivering everything necessary. Races are born and die. An endless stream of letters flows via the server. Here are teams of race leaders, and personal correspondence of players, and reports generated by the tireless server, and articles sentspecifically for inclusion in the Galactic Newspaper. There are tears and laughter here, hope and despair, honesty and meanness, deceit and nobility, selfless friendship and calculated betrayal. There is life and death here. Here is mail from robbers and knights, beautiful ladies and ugly ones mutants, dragons and insects, giants and dwarfs, people and not. This The galaxy has everything here! If you decide to try your hand at Galaxy, then get ready to enter the real world. The world that was created so that people have the opportunity to communicate in a new, unusual level for them. A world where you, just like in real life, will have to be responsible for your actions. A world where you can make friends and enemies. A world that can become a second life for you. === Cut === Bye! Pawel@nm.ru rscg.boom.ru [RC 2.0 70%] [ZX] [Real Software]

Hello, Pavel! May 21, 2001 19:12, Pavel Fedorov wrote to Aleksey Senilov: AS>> Or maybe someone knows “Ostracism”? :) Cool idea... PF> come on!!! What to give, tell? Well, okay, in your own words. Preface: a big ship sailed and was wrecked. Some passengers escaped, but ended up on _absolutely_ uninhabited and bare (no vegetation) island! Each player is one of the passengers. Everything would be fine, but there is such a thing, it’s called hunger :) The island is empty, no to eat sand, and therefore the problem was solved by cannibalism... Yes, yes, that’s it :) And you understand, we have democracy everywhere, so a candidate for “food” is chosen by voting! So, the game itself. Before the move, everyone communicates with each other, through personal messages and wall. There they come to an agreement, announce themselves like “I’m very tasteless” and etc. etc. At the moment of the move, everyone votes. Everyone can only vote for one person. And whoever scores more is eaten (he drops out of the game). Refusal to vote counts as a vote for yourself! Everyone ate, the day passes... And everything again... As soon as there are two players left, a ship appears on the horizon and they are rescued from the island! That is, the game has two winners. Afterword: he took the ship of the winners, they tell everyone there about theiradventures, everything is fine... But suddenly at night there is a storm again, and again... I think that's it got it :))) If anyone is interested, I’ll post the full rules or a link :) It should be noted that this game invented here in Russia. The author offers and promises other ideas... AS>> ad&d... I understand. I'm wondering how such games in AS>> are played in the desktop version. PF> MAGIC The Gathering and their clones, you know? cards with pictures PF> monsters, lands, artifacts, No, I don't know. That's why I'm interested. I imagine the computer version, although didn't play. I found the Atlantis Plus server, all the rules are there, but I couldn’t find the robot’s address find! I can also tell you the address of the BBC website in St. Petersburg, where everything about Atlantis is also available. Even the engine (which is installed on the server). Maybe someone will take a look??? PF> by the way, while I was writing one idea got mixed up PF> it’s a pity I can’t devote myself to this issue all the time I’m getting my diploma, PF> I’m right, and I’m a little sick :(((I’ll figure it out then with 100% dedication. PF> in short, the idea of ​​a strategy in .txt ... I don’t know yet what will happen, but I do PF> it seems real, who knows MAGIC THE GATHERING can guess about PF> than me !Unfortunately, I don’t know, so can you be more specific? :) All the best! Boh/Image Crew was with you.
