Far Horizons PBEM
Far Horizons
We are bringing back an interesting PBEM (play by email) space opera -
Far Horizons. If you've never played PBEM before, this is a good
opportunity to start.
Imagine Master of Orion, but with 100 human players to interact with.
Or Ogame without so much pressure on your spare time.
You take control of a single race in a huge galaxy, which is yours to
explore. Inevitably, as you wander through the stars you will meet
other races (all player-controlled), and start diplomatic relactions
with them (roleplaying experience is quite handy here).
There are 3 turns played each week, you are supposed to send your
orders before 8 PM CET on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. At the given
time the gamemaster will process orders from all players and send out
reports for
the next turn.
The game is quite old (we are using 7th edition ruleset from 1999),
but still brings a lot of enjoyment. The original plaintext interface
is augmented by modern helper application (optional) which facilitates
information handling and makes preparing orders faster and more
intuitive.
We are looking for up to 100 players, the game will start in September
(exact date to be determined, with at least a week notice to all
players). The game is absolutely FREE to play.
