Something Stupid But Possibly Fun?
Try this on for size. I start a game make one turn, then randomly email it to someone who then makes the next turn. Then he emails it to another player who makes the following turn and so on and so on with no one player making more than one turn for the Human Player at one time.
The game is passed on like this, with each player making only one turn for the Human player. How long do you think a game like this could go on?
How long do you think it would before you got the sav.game file back and had to make another turn for the Human player? What would it be like?
Ya its a stupid idea, but it could possibly be fun. What do you think?

Sounds like a hoot. If you start it, please include me.

Re: Something Stupid But Possibly Fun?
It would make for some interesting topics...."OK, who was the one who decided to [insert rant]?"
Sounds like fun.

Re: Something Stupid But Possibly Fun?
Ah, the play by email games, yes very common with other games, it would be interesting, however, make sure the players u select are honest as this is open for alot of cheating (ie keep takin their turn over & over until they are happy with wot they end wit)

Re: Something Stupid But Possibly Fun?
The point to the game is that each player plays the same empire but on differant turns.
I would start it, then the next person would make turn 2 mail it to someone who would make turn 3 and so on. The game would go on for as long as people keep sending it around.
Medium Galaxy
10 or so random AI
1 Human (Terran)
Starting Tech level ? I would say medium.

Re: Something Stupid But Possibly Fun?
Great Idea, I'm In as well, one question tho, some email accounts are size limited, would it fit after a number of turns are taken? example I have hotmail, i didn't pay their price to expand the size so have standard size, would it be able to be attached after a large number of turns...?
just some ideas Mac
