I'm not really into games, very much, and nobody has a version of battleships that can play the variation of the game that we used to play when we were young: To make things more difficult, you're allowed to move your ships. But once they're hit, the hit ship has to stay pinned to where the missile hit it, though can slide along its length. Some might call that cheating, but it was just too easy the usual way the game is played. And in a real battle, a ship is going to keep on manoeuvring as best it can, trying to escape, until completely lost. ;-) Beyond that, I think you're going to suffer from one major problem; the timing of events. Chances are that I wouldn't be able to join in at the time you advertise a session (likewise for other people), either we're not free, awake, or not in the mood. And the converse; that when we want to do a group game, there's not one running. Internet networked games don't really work well when they're only on for a very limited time frame, they need to be 24 hour hosted. Fixed, short term, sessions are more the realm of LAN parties. I'm surprised you haven't suggested chess. Not that I can play it, but that was the traditional classic pen-pal game. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
