These aren't nearly as old, but I always loved these things, especially given the restrictions placed on Willingham re: violence.

Hah, when I read those as a teenager I somehow never noticed how non-violent they were :)

Ha! An indel is a type of genetic mutation (insertion/deletion) that we look for with the technology I'm using. I may be able to work this into a work presentation!

Hah! quite awesome!
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

Those are hilarious ads.

It's been a while since I checked in on this thread. When is the ad for $20+$4/post PBM from? $4 is about $14 in today's dollars. Just think about that and count up the number of posts on here. If even half my posts are actual game posts as opposed to OOC chat, that's still $36,000 worth of posts!

No, ToniXX, I'm not donating that much. :D

Why do you think I have a moderator job here? Gotta pay off my posting indiscretions from an earlier, more flamboyant gaming phase.

PBM Car Wars? Man, you could go broke that way.

Also: nice "homage" to Speed Racer there. :D

Probably my most favourite AppleIIe game, Car Wars. Finished it at least four times, which was pretty good for back then. For me, anyway.
