The following active games have abandoned or withdrawn character positions:

You may take over any of these abandoned positions. If you do this, you will be involved in the game immediately (the game has already started, so you don't have to wait). You will also be doing a favor to the other people in the game, by helping to keep the game alive. On the other hand, you may be taking over a character that has already missed one or more turns, or that has otherwise been abandoned for good reason.

For instance, the Trader position has been beefed up from what it normally is and is starting with more keys than anyone else. Positronix kill points has increased along with DOUBLE the score for PBB's. Please READ CAREFULLY the parameters for the position you are contemplating playing. There will be only one position per player. Everything is set to ULTRA HIGH so everyone should be able to register a ton of points. The game has a FIXED ENDING of Turn #20, high score at that point wins the game. This is also a 4-world move game for ALL POSITIONS. (The AD and ST have been given additional benefits for sacrificing this unique component of their roles). I wanted to see what a 4-world move for all positions game would look like....well, this is it. Please let me know what you think about the parameters below as I spent a lot of time trying to give EACH PLAYER ROLE enhanced and beefed up opportunities for scoring, including traditionally difficult roles to score like Missionary, and Positronix. Good gaming to all! Barry J. Comment from 12678 on Thu, 04 Jun 2020 18:57:11 PDT: We seem to be stalling out around 5 players. Catalyst may not make it off the table. I am going to set up another game with a carefully chosen fun mapping system called Q-bert. We may only seek 6 players instead of 8. Stay tuned. P.S. I still think the 4-hop world game would be a ton of fun. Add a comment
