ARTICLE
SW-A1324 THE ANONYMOUS GAME FROM HELL! By Elliot Hudes
I’ve
decided to give you the story of SW-A1324 from my perspective now that Jack has
finished his narrative (SEDG 71 and 72). I was Pirate 2, Jack’s prime target
and the reasons will be quite clear why I did certain things when told from my
perspective.
If you
receive the SEDG by email you will find the feature article as an attachment.
As usual my ISP, Compuserve, will separate out this
text and the attachment into two separate emails. The attachment will be a file
entitled SEDG73.zip. It is a winzip file that you
need to
double
click. The contents will be unzipped and deposited on your hard
drive.
The majority of files are graphics that will be incorporated into your web
browser. Double click on V73feat.htm and you should be able to view it in it’s entirety.
If you
don't have winzip or you are viewing the SEDG online
- click on
this URL
to get to the feature article.

QUESTIONS
- Can anyone answer this?
At one
of your worlds there are 3 keys. One key is yours and allies already declared
Loaders own the other two. There are 4 metal available. If all 3 keys are
ordered to load – how much metal will each get?

STARWEB
ANALYZER V1.5 - It's on the web site and it's no longer a Beta!
Go get
it! As before - registered clients of any previous V1.x version
can
upgrade for free. www.flyingmoose.ca
The Starweb Analyzer V2.0 (written under the .net framework).
Mike has been busy recreating the analyzer and upgrading it. It's almost ready
for beta testing.
One more
feature I would like to tease you with – multiple world editing of the map is
now active. If you don’t like where you have placed a bunch of worlds it’s now
possible to lasso them and drag the whole section to a new blank area of the
map.
As soon
as it progresses a little further we shall invite some of
you to
beta test it.

Elliot- Thanks for sending the text
version of Fullmer's
game
description. Fascinating. I'm learning that
being a
peaceful player just doesn't pay off.

Editor:
It sure has been my experience that Anonymous Starweb
games are more vicious and war based variants than most of the others (perhaps
excluding the Bitter End games).

>>This
has been enjoyable for me. I seldom get a chance to interact with any other Starweb players. In particular I very rarely get to hear
anything from another player in an anonymous game.
For example, I will be interested to hear
how many other players the Dooleys met on turn 4. As
you know I was relatively isolated. It seems to me that you were less isolated
so I wonder which was more typical for this game. On the other hand, if I had
not been isolated I probably would not have been allowed the time to battle
with you AND score enough points to win.
Best...
