General Game Forum OT Thread, for general inter-game chit-chat

[randakar]

If you start posting in the Aurora thread and are not playing in that game, I will ban you for spam.

... first I was wondering who was wondering who was spamming a thread and angering the mods ...

but then I noticed:

this thread has moved to the game forum. Sign up thread and Aurora general questions threads remain in OT.

If you need some ancillary threads here, to keep track of data or something, you may make them.

Wait, this is the "game forum" now?

 

[Blade!]

yes.

Why not? We already got Galactica... The more, the merrier, I say.

BTW anybody know what this Aurora game is all about?

Its a spreadsheet based space game. Exploration, colonisation and killing small green aliens.

It is a ridiculously complex and in-depth space 4X game that doesn't have any graphics but is mostly menu/speadsheet driven. It is a more complex version of Dwarf Fortress in space. blue emu is doing an interactive AAR with it.

Why? What did the small green aliens ever do to the Paradox forumites?

They acted like Prix to us.

 

[randakar]

yes.

Fair enough. Does this mean other games will get moved here, too?

 

[Blade!]

For being off topic, make commentary and asking questions, without spamming other people's games.

 

[Boris ze Spider]

yes.

Does this mean we can have as many threads as we want now?

 

[EUROO7]

Was the thread always named "Planning"?

 

[Blade!]

no.

I don't think so. Blade! is doing so remodeling.

 

[johho888]

Not until a few minutes ago. I feel the presence of a mod walking this forum...

 

[Blade!]

Probably.

I am not sure about doing Aurora as a RPG and forum game, I need to see how this works. But I do like the concept of the game itself. I grew up on a Commodore computer in the 80's and graphics were always poor in comparison to now. But the strategy games (like Battles of Napoleon and Reach for the Stars) always kept me interested. I may need to look into this game.

It is really fun, especially when you add the forum elements.

It's not so much a forum game as an interactive AAR, if it was a P'dox game I am sure it would be in the AAR section. Maybe we can pull some of blue emu's large following into playing WW.

 

[Blade!]

Forum title now changed.

How about other Aurora threads like "...recruitment..."?
