Ecawilson Introduction

I will try to abide by the rules of English Grammar and this site.

I speak only English and German, and neither perfectly. After serving in Frankfurt Germany from 2002 to 2004, my English is markedly improved, but still not in a state that I could call myself correct.

My wife is college educated, but I obviously don't talk to her enough for her English ability to rub off onto me.

My 11 month old son speaks a blend of Celtic, Swahili, and Icelandic. I speak with him often, have learned some vocabulary, and am slowly learning his grammar. But, it is a slow undertaking.

I feel it is important to support worthwhile games, instead of un-worthwhile ones. after trying some games on the internet, I searched for worthwhile games, and found a promising one on this website. While I realize that games are not usually a worthwhile use of time, they help me to relax. I will see if I find anything both worthwhile and relaxing through this board.

Introduction Ecawilson

Welcome to the site. I notice you have a keen interest in MMORPGs. Have you ever played a Text RPG as well in a play by post setting?

Introduction Ecawilson

Thank you.

Can't say that I have. I don't really have much experience in RPG's at all, but I enjoy complicated games, as they help me relax, and I enjoy figuring out all the moving parts and how exactly they fit together. Complex games that involve people are all the better, because moving parts being moved by multiple, unpredictable forces are much more difficult to figure out. And therefore, oddly, a much more fun and relaxing time for me.

So, by Text RPG do you mean similar to Mormon Battles? I have never played anything like that.

I am not really sure what play by post means. I would assume that it is a game where decisions are 'mailed' (hence post) to a player, who then makes the move, and gives you the resulting effects. That is also something new for me.

Why? Do you have something in mind?

Ecawilson Introduction

We have over 30 various games here plus an Arcade, so lots in mind. You can see here: Source 3 Play by Post is where you play a game via Forum Posting. Right now the World of Medieval is about to begin, you should create a character. To create a character involves you having at least 30 posts and 75% activity. You already have the activity so you just need more Posts. If you can get them in today then you can join in just before they start (I think tomorrow). See here: Source 2

Some of our games require different Upgrade levels, for instance you might like World Greed (sort of like RISK): Source 9 We also have the Arcade, where I am king, and you participate based on the number of forum points you have (FP).

Ecawilson Introduction

I looked briefly at World of Medieval, and it looks very interesting. I believe that I would very much enjoy it.

However, I am not sure that I can make the commitment of playing that often, quite yet. I am sure that I could get up to 30 posts quickly, but I just don't know what next week will be like. I have 2 very large projects that will be lasting a few months, and while I hope I will be able to play around here, I just don't think it would be fair to start and not be able to finish.

But thank you very much for the invitation.

I also like Risk, so Greed sounds interesting too. I will have to take a look at that.

How popular is chess, though? I do enjoy a game of chess, and if it is not timed and can last weeks, that is much more up my alley than trying to finish a game in an hour, or even a few days. I used to play games with my father that would last months.

Yes, Medieval does take a level of commitment.

Chess can be set for no time limit, but I do not accept those I usually play three days per turn tops. Perhaps Harkon (another Chess player) will take you up on a no time limit match. See our in house Chess Board for details: Source 9 and you can find out where to join in for that.

You may also like the Arcade since you can compete at your own schedule an try to win some games.

What is it that you do that you talk about projects?
