    My Account

    Just a heads up: the 'My Account' link at the top of the page and 'My account' down the side of the front page take you to different places (the former to thread subs and the latter to this page). How come?

    OptNES III: Foundry of Nations

    We have a wiki! (sort of) The Avirri are, to date, the only tribe to have entered the halls of civilisation on this distant Earth. From the most modest of beginnings, they united or defeated the squabbling tribes around them on their small piece of the world. For almost seven thousand...

    pre-OptNES II: A Free City

    First, to deal with a loose end. Some of you may be wondering what this means for my first NES. Basically, what this means is it's gone. I still like the concept, but I think my rules need some refinement before the format of that NES comes into its own, and I personally couldn't quite get my...

    Civ4-Stories&Tales PBEM Redux: Tempus Rursum

    Time to try again. The last attempt at this - near the end of last year - ended in abject failure due to not getting past the first turn. In order to prevent this, we'll be having an (arbitrary) maximum of six players this time round. The players who have indicated interest are: 1...

    International Music Festival (Musician/Country Elimination) - Signups

    Yep, just another elimination thread. :D This time, though, it's a little different. As always, people will each nominate one 'thing' for the list - in this case, a musical artist or group. However, in this game, each country (England/Wales/Scotland/N.Ireland are separate for this purpose)...

    [Experimental] Necromancer's Duel - Signups

    Apologies to SouthernKing for using some of his Arena concept. This is my new elimination Arena-style forum game. Since I thought of it on the spur of the moment, the rules may be a little rough around the edges. Sorry for that, but I'll try and refine them as we go. The basic premise is...

    Finding NES

    From NESing by the Numbers: As I said I'd love to see where the majority of NESers arrived from, and maybe have a little bit of discussion - one we can see how those stats look - on what sort of effect it has had on NESing activity. Thank you for your participation :thumbsup: Questions to...

    The Despot's Advisors - An Interactive AAR

    You know how I tried to start a realpolitik a couple months ago? You know how I announced its death earlier this week? And how I said I might start something new? Well, maybe not, but this is what I meant. Here, I have for your perusal and entertainment an entirely (well, sort of) new form of...

    Ultimate Elimination II Sign-up Thread

    With the conclusion of ULTIMATE Members Elimination as a three-way tie between Ilduce, Yoshiegg737 and Dhoomstriker, and Abaddon's unfortunate departure from the forums, I've taken it upon myself to take over the reins of Ultimate Elimination. This in mind, I have to open signups, hence this...

    The Biggest Iceball Ever Competition

    So I was playtesting a mod, Kjotleik's LongPlay, and started a game on one of the larger mapsizes and slower gamespeeds included... I got this: Yeah, see the minimap? That sucks a lot when you're probably isolated. Mind you, I'm guessing there's going to be people here with more impressive...
