  • Q: does weednet need it's own ibbs game?

    From Ratz@WEEDNET/IMZADI to All on Wed Jun 30 15:54:47 2021
    Not necessarily a league game or anything, just something to keep us coming over to weednet.

    a game that is based on growing or selling weed would be spot on but any good multiplayer game would do.

    What do ya think?

    Years ago I participated in a weekly business game competition
    for a monetary prize, primarily operated by email - with
    instructions and progress delivered by email - based on what
    your fictional company chose to do. Your company's workers
    could be unionized or not, go on strike or not, raise or lower
    prices of manufactured goods, experience supply issues, and I
    think the current real stockmarket activity played into it too.

    The decisions on what other teams (competitors) were doing with
    their businesses played into the "formula" of outcomes.

    It was fun. But at one point our team leader (I played with
    about 5 total of my business collegues) made some radical
    decisions near the end of the game, and that placed us 2nd in
    the game. There was no monetary prize other than for 1st
    place. :(

    Question wouldn't that be like pimp wars or dope wars?

    lol, Those would both both be great but I dont think either are multi bbs games. Someting like The Pit would be cool but theres no real connection with weed really..

    That's a good idea!
    I just don't have any experience with InterBBS gaming via a message
    network, I have to learn how to do this (and how to integrate it with Synchronet, in my case).

    Does anyone here have an idea on a InterBBS-capable game?

    Regards,
    Anna

    Hello,

    It's not really that hard, I did it with Mystic and debian just have to make
    sure you get the cp and paths to your nodes down stream right & up stream to
    your inbox /fido/inbound /fido/outbound/some user

    I'm sure you'll figure it out being you run linux also and when you do I'd
    be glad to join the league.

    Fine :)
    I'm currently investigating the technique used here and I'm beginning to understand it, thanks to the help of deon in fsxNet.

    We still have to find a game which fits -- that's the bigger problem.
    Do you have an idea?
