From: skrenta@blekko.rt.com (Rich Skrenta) Newsgroups: rec.games.pbm Subject: Olympia playtest Date: 15 Nov 91 15:36:12 GMT Olympia is a computer moderated fantasy simulation which needs some playtesters. It will be run as a PBEM with a fast, erratic turnaround at first. This implies that you should have snappy email access so you can get your turns in on time. Turns may run as quickly as once per night or as seldom as weekly. The game may end suddenly if I decide substantial revisions to the code are necessary. You begin in control of one character who may study, explore, fight, acquire subordinates, build things, use magic, etc. The setting is a low technology fantasy world. Disclaimer: The game will be horrible, full of bugs, and no fun to play at first. There is little documentation. Most commands don't work. I will change the database between turns so that all of your commands will fail. If this bothers you then wait for playtesters with stronger stomachs to find the bugs before you. You Have Been Warned! If you would like to help playtest Olympia, send mail to olympia@rt.com and I will send you registration materials. -- Rich Skrenta skrenta@rt.com ...uunet!blekko!skrenta
