Hi,
Zanzibar an online text-based forum game is just about to enter a new era. This means that it will be a good time to join.
It is a game that involves the control of nations in manners loosely defined by the rules, there are plenty of uncertainties and areas
to exploit and test out. In theme it is similar to warhammer fantasy in the levels of advancement of nations and power of magic.
Players work together in nations, created by them, building up alliances, fluff and ultimately fighting wars. There is room for subterfuge,
diplomacy and technological innovation. Players write up orders which the
GMs then organise in to the turns overt story and personal results.
The community is small, 30-40 but friendly. There is room for those who join quickly to create their own race, other could choose to work with
a more experience nation leader in a nation of someone else's creation. The average game lasts around a year.
The link is here if you want to have a look. The story is worth looking at to get a flavour of what happens, but is quite long. The rules will look a bit restricting if looked at alone.
Culture critique and team cultures will give you an idea of the nations. Please feel free to reply, on this or on zanzibar's general discussion/banteraboutpowerarmour.
