Re: Symmetry5o Ready for sign up

OK, we are up to 9 players. If one more joins the game will be a go! Deadline is March 16 so we have time to even get more players.

Sign up!

Re: Newbie Advice

HI, Skip tracers score by seeing worlds either by flying thru them, owning them or by the probes they get off worlds they own. Can fly 4 hops but have terrible firepower so they are not warriors. They either play madcap rovers with large fleets that are hard to kill OR they can be useful spies for t...

Symmetry5o Ready for sign up

I promised to start a game for some newbies to try out RSW.

This game is on a 10 day turnaround so they have time to acclimatize.

I put some soft caps on aggressive players (but 2 of each mean there can still be lots of them).

Let's show the new blood a good time!

threws3s ready for sign ups

This is similar the subject2m which ended too early on T12. Some tweaks: Worlds/fleets set to average. NonSomnos map - so Zencat doesn't get angry with me ;-). Turn due date is weekly on Wed midnight to accommodate players with too many Sunday due dates. End of game is triggered by 25,000 to ensure ...

SW players invade RSW - Welcome!

I've managed to draw in 3 SW players to the RSW universe. Maybe more as I've not met all the players in subject2m which is an advanced Multigame with 9 players each having 2 positions. It's been a long time since we had this many players in a game and it's fantastic. Send emails to your SW buddies o...

morris4h commentary

Hi all, Since morris4h was anonymous we never get to talk to each other about the game. It was a 2position advanced multi. Since game names are scrambled I will refer to the players rsw handles. Somnos (myself) played an arms dealer/warlord. I knew if I could just haul a ton of metal I could produce...

Re: Starweb is dead

Flying Buffalo was inherited by Rick's 2 sisters. They sold off all the rights to his other games (tunnels & trolls etc) but the PBM games were retained and moderated by Chuck. Goto: http://www.rickloomispbm.com/ I think this was a way to keep Chuck employed. There are very few players left. Cur...

Re: Provisional / standard map sets

Hmmph. And they call themselves gamers! Can't figure out the 3-D maps. I even stuck in a 4D map ;-).

Re: sad news indeed

I have been playing Starweb and its offspring since I was in high school (long time ago). So much fun, so many good memories. I met Rick once at the Great White North Starweb Tournament hosted by the Flying Moose folks. It was a treat that Rick was able to play with us since turns were submitted on...

Re: New client - message bug?

I can't get my client to work either. Keeps crashing and I think I'm using a newer version than you. Sent a note to David Rose.
