i guess i can put this here. i just read J's game idea and its pretty much the same i had but far less competition. my idea is to open a game on a BBS and have newer players come in to learn and only to learn, maybe 5 man corps, 1 teacher per corp. this is to teach the basics and maybe eventually the intermediates of twars. i have noticed alot of new people playin these days and i would like to see them a few months down the road up to par with good players, or atleast understanding why they arent up to par and what they need to do to change it. the game is not open as i have done nothing as of yet on the BBS to make a game as my last final is in 8 hours. after that i will have tons of free time to set things up. if there is any new players who would be interested in learning twar gameplay in a non-competitive environment (no fear of dying everytime u breath, heh) then please get ahold of me and let me know. i will make it a closed game, but if u ask i will add you (unless you are super good and just wish to pod a bunch of new people in which case i will say no
) J, i put an open invitation to you to take a corp to teach (as i see you have interest in this as well) also to anyone else willing to teach basics, also please get ahold of me and i will set you up.
now, for getting ahold of me. you can:
A)respond to this post as i check EIS forums daily
B)icq me(207-107-486) as if my computer is on, then icq is on
C)email me(awol_in_nd@hotmail.com) i dont check it often though
D)stop by my apartment and have a beer
they have been listed from easiest to hardest/unlikely way to get ahold of me. maybe B is easier than A, but A cant get deleted by accident if isp or icq does dumb stuff.
this probably wont happen soon just like J's as i would like time to set it up and get atleast one more person to help teach. i will also ask that most people interested in playing/learning to read http://www.tw-cabal.com as it will answer many questions for you and maybe help understand the answers you recieve better.
Examples: will teach the different ways to make money, what they do, what you need money for, what you can do with planets, what the differences in ships are, why one is better to have than others in certain instances. i may also open another game that i will tedit at request for people to practice what they learn IE: i want to practice invading planets. i will make the planets u specify and let u have at it (no death delay, etc..) anywho, this is probably long enough and you all get the idea, so now its up to you

heh, no but i have read it 100% within the last month. i can think of nothing off the top of my head that can't find a place to be applied SOMEwhere in today's game.
