While We Wait: Part 4

On your keyboard, look above and to the right of where you normally type. There's a group of three keys, labeled, "Print Screen/SysRq", "Scroll Lock", and "Pause/Break". You want the left most one. Press that key, then immediately switch to an image editing program like paint, and click Edit, then Paste, or press ctrl-v.

I tried it on paint but the ctrl v doesn't work on paint. I'm not using MS paint, I am using the paint under accessories.

I'd probably play in that. I'd like to try playing in one of these games where you control an individual, not a nation.

I was making one with dld, and then he quit NESing. EQ has sort of picked up the slack though, so we'll see.

Oh, you mean Godwin's Law? Yes, I now recall that one. Also, doesn't Lord_Iggy's SteamNES also fall into that category? In any case, it seems like an individual-person NES based around politics would closely resemble a political NES in the first place. Both of those looked interesting, but I've really been pinched on time recently. Really, the only reason I'm confident in signing up for Luckymoose's NES is that it's more of a conceptual exercise.

That's MS Paint.

Try going to Edit and then Paste if ctrl-v doesn't work. Also make sure you actually pressed the Print Screen key at some point.

Who would play in a quick and easy zombie apocalypse NES? The premise being there is a city map, you pick a start location, you pick your limited choice of starting stuff and the last player living wins. Turns go by 1 day, in which your character needs 1 unit of water or something and so on. Pretty much meaning you have to move around and expose yourself. Could be a fun quickie.

I probably can't join but if I am acceptable could I reserve a spot?

EQ is working on a really exciting version. We might actually be shifting from the Second World War to something from an alternate history. Something by Turtledove, if I recall correctly, and one where the Confederacy fought an epic war with the Union and how the South engaged on the OTL parallel to the Holocaust.

I bring this up because then we don't have people just copying WWII strategies with Operation Barbarossa and all that fun stuff.

Plus, working with EQ gives me lots of benefits. dld used to be the military guy; now that job shifts to EQ, who also knows a lot. Plus he can probably even do the map. And he has experience, so you know that it'll be realistic.

You may ask, "Lighty, what are you going to do? You're out of a job, son!" And here is where I come in: since EQ is going to be busy running multiple NESes, I get to write the updates.

So consider this a blurb. We will make the two-moderator system work. And NESing will never be the same again!

 

[Chandrasekhar]

Interesting... I'll be on the lookout for that NES when it starts up. This Spring does seem to be a great time for NES'ing.

The two moderator system has already been shown to work.

If you're counting PureNES, well, I don't, since it's been laying dormant. It only went two or three updates, if I recall correctly.

Four, actually, and given the type of NES and absurd lack of players, it went pretty well, thank you very much. The two moderator system wasn't the problem, so it proved that concept long ago.

 

[LittleBoots]

I have a rough draft of the rules made. Still need to make the map. I will only have spots for 5 players this first time. If you want a reserve you can. Captain2 already has one.

I'll take the forth (Captain2, Chandrasekhar, Strategos, Me, right?)

EDIT: Didn't see Yui's post. That make me the fifth?

And, @NK: nyah, nyah, looks like I'm not the only one (just giving you a hard time )

Well, that's funny. Turtledove did.

Still, sounds pretty interesting.

 

[Azale]

Turtledove had a trench line crossing across the Eastern United States...

Still, it could be fun!

Actually, I think das is referring to the whole thing where the invasion of Ohio started on June 22, 1941, and the bit about Pittsburgh basically being Stalingrad, and Morrell's dandy barrel roll through Tennessee through Georgia to the sea (admittedly, that's more of a copy of Sherman than it is of Sicklestroke, but the comparison sort of works).

Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Technically, the entire history of post-WWI CSA is highly suspect.

Anyway, Wikipedia has several great pages on this, complete with maps and such. Here's the main article.

Frankly the whole timeline is pretty suspect, but what you going do?

 

[Luckymoose]

Okay I have my 5 players, I will allow Yui to play.

Not use it and never reference it as if it was any good, clearly. Or at least, that's what people should do...

 

[Terrance888]

I will want to play zombie!!!

Also, look at a RfMK III and you will see 2 'game masters' ie. Mods.
