IOT Organisational and Discussion Thread

[NedimNapoleon]

I made one, never got stickied, got deleted. TK told me to make it.

 

[Sonereal]

It didn't get deleted. It got merged into TK's Org thread.

 

[AlexRomaniaGrig]

and im still ignored.

 

[Ailedhoo]

Comrades: Beyond the Revolution is ready for you to come and sign up to it. As it is on BTL you will have to sign up to BTL but it will be worth it.

 

[Tani Coyote]

With the ceremonial burial of Terios over at NES, I have started a small side project, IOT XIII.

It's probably the simplest game I have ever done. Do whatever you want with your money.

The only limit is how much money you have.

 

[Red_Spy]

XII just started yesterday.

 

[Robert Can't]

The 30th of June

 

[Mosher]

Why did Iceland lose half its territory?

 

[Robert Can't]

This particular map represents internationally recognised borders, zones of occupation aren't shown. Icelandic Britain is a Zone of Occupation.

Ah. All is well, then.

 

[Bowsling]

What on earth just happened in this forum? Why are there so many games all of a sudden?

 

[Tyo]

Springtime of IOT or something.

 

[Terrance888]

This happens in the NES subforum all the time. It's called the "Summer Season" where lots of people imagine they have loads of time after school ends and starts new NESes, many of which fail rather quickly.

 

[Bowsling]

Oh yeah and:

Imperium Offtopicum
Organisational & Discussion Thread​

Imperium Offtopicum is often defined as "an empire-building game" that spawned from the Altered Maps threads. It has had many, many variations, but generally speaking: you create or take over a nation of your choice, you expand a little at a time, you can engage in war and diplomacy and conquer the world, and the overall goal is fun.

[Robert Can't]

You should probably add Spirit of Man 2 to the on Hiatus list.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Don't forget IOT XIII! ^__^

 

[Ailedhoo]

Can games set outside CFC be included? If so Beyond the Revolution is being seeded...

 

[mechaerik]

They've never been included before.

 

[Ailedhoo]

Understandable.
