Empire / EMPIRE is Back
« on: December 13, 2020, 11:18:51 am »
My computer text only games are back.  EMPIRE is back!

All games started 3 days ago.  No need for other start-game announcements.

Text mode only, you can use a terminal emulator to telnet in at 100.4.113.167

Or you can use a domain called:  empire.game-host.org

It is better with Reflection or Minisoft in HP terminal mode or TTerm from Turbosoft if you are on Linux.

If you see a prompt called EMPIRECLASSIC:  Enter the following:

HELLO PLAYER.EMPIRE1

(or 2, or 3, or 4, or 5)

It will ask for your Nation's Name or Number, if this is the first time make up a Nation name, like "Rabbinate".

If you successfully log on.  a list of command can be seen by entering "COMM".  "V" will show the island you are on.


I also put the other games:  ADVENT, MANSION, MILLBORN, WARP, SUPRTREK, SUPRTRK, TREK, CIVIL, & DROID.

For those games yes, enter HELLO PLAYER.{gamename}

Droid, Millborn, & Warp need an HP terminal emulator or it looks like screen garble. For those games TTWin or TTerm by TurboSoft.

Advent is the famous one with the Troll bridge.

Mansion is the one with the maid.

Empire / Empire Now On Groups.IO
« on: January 08, 2017, 12:43:59 pm »
It has been a couple of years since I discontinued the Yahoo group simply because Yahoo turned to crap.  I found a site called groups.io that behaves just like the old Yahoo groups, even older, it was designed by the guy that made onelist, the group service that got bought by Yahoo.  You'll find it at the site called empire@groups.io.

Suggestions / Is There Room Here?
« on: November 01, 2013, 06:39:35 pm »
Is there any room here for a migration of 300 or so users from a dissatisfied Yahoo group?

They're mainly looking to e-mail, and to be able to share their gaming files.

Empire / Now that "Texting" is Back ...
« on: March 19, 2012, 08:55:48 am »
Since "texting" on hand held devices are all the rage now.  Does this mean users can play Empire on a hand held device?  Does 'telnet' protocol even work on a hand held device?

(Or are the islands too big to display?)

Or is this thought too much like Floogle?
