Subject: [FT] FT Showdown Completed and Call for Players
A long time ago, four people challenged each other in two teams of two in a battle to the finish. The battle has now been completed. For people wondering whatever the hell did happen to Noam Izenberg & Aaron Teske vs. Beth Fulton & Mark Kochte: http://people.canoe.ca/jhan/ft/showdown Now that it's finished, I'd like to test a scenario for GZG-ECC III, coming up in February of 2000. (Look for a more formal announcement in the next little while.) Basically, it's inspired by Fred Saberhagen's 'Berserker' books; I need several people willing to fight against a Berserker. I'm hoping to run turn around times of about a week or two. It's a playtest, so it means things are pretty well in pieces... and given my current schedule, I couldn't begin playing until next week at least. (Hell, I don't have a final Berserker design yet....) Because it's a playtest, I won't necessarily let the fight continue to the finish; indeed, I may restart things if it appears that the Berserker or the opposing fleet are unbalanced. That being said, if people are interested, send email to 'jhan@canoe.ca'. I'll take them in priority order. And, BTW, I've already got the Berserker, so the I'm looking for people to 'fight the damned machines.'.
