Well, since I no longer have a ship left in Mark's game, and we're fast
running out of Nipponese to shoot at in Allan's game (OK, a slight
exageration...) I figured now would be a good time to put out a call for
players for my next PBeM game. I'm looking for 6 players per side; each player
will control 1 to 3 ships. I plan to start right after the 2 aforementioned
games wrap up.

The game is set in my own universe, and is a hostile "first contact" scenario
between humanity and some unknown alien race (no, not the Kra'vak). Neither
side knows much of anything about the other side, so intel will be critical.
If you are interested, you can e-mail me direct at:

Sign me up as an alien, being human is sooo cliche'

Well, I'm interested in playing, alternate-standby, or just lurking.

Tom,

I'm sorry to say you're about an hour too late; I just filled the last slot.
(I didn't expect this huge a response: less than 24 hours to fill up!) I'll
keep you on the alternate/ lurker list for now and let you know if
anything changes. It'll probably be a week or two before I start sending stuff
out, as I want to let the 2 current games wind down some more.

Thanks, Scott

Sounds good, but as an aside, I have a friend who's probably more execited
about play by e-mail.  He's been really interested in the PBeM I've
described and he'll probably try to contact you as a player. He's never
actually played in a game though.

Oops. I didn't mean to post my reply to Tom to the list; next time, I'll try
to check the "reply to:" line before I hit "reply."  :-)  Sorry for
wasting everyone else's bandwidth.

But as long as I'm here, yes my PBeM game is now full. Thanks to everyone who
responded. If anyone else wants to be on the lurker/ alternate list, let
me know.
