Are you talking about an InterBBS lord game? There's a few of them out there. I run one here in Agoranet/League 46, while Lord Time/Robert Starr runs one in League 10, and Scinet/League 77 has one going. I'm sure there are a few more out there as well.

As far as the "best", all of them are what the users/players make of it, really. Check 'em all out, and pick which one you like the most. Some games have been running for a long time without a reset, some have regular resets, etc. It's all in what you're looking for.

Hi Nicholas... I apologize.. I was just being sarcastic as it seems the
only post for the most part in this echo is for the best ephen lord
game. I was just playing a little with that. Sorry to have actually
caused somebody to stir. I was just having some fun. But thanks for the sincerity of Your reply.

Have a good One!

Thanks again. But got it already. :)

If his BBS carries LORD, then it's legitimate content to the echo, IMO. Otherwise it would be just another dead echo.

I think I covered the point in the first sentence, that I re-quoted for you. I believe we went over this a couple days ago, well before you responded yesterday. :)

no, you didn't and you moved my text out of context... that changes everything because my comment was not directed at your "thanks, got it" comment... it was directed at your /other/ comment...

that was you and mike... i didn't know because i read the messages in the order
in which they arrive on my system... i reply to them when i read them so other replies may have already said the same thing but that's the nature of this old FTN beast and the way fidonet messaging has always been ;)

I totally understand that, Mark. I was just letting you know it was already solved before you came around and responded. So in other words, I thanked you for giving me the answer I already knew, and I'll thank you one more time since you've been so adamant about getting your point across. :)

BTW, Not knocking Joes post so much, only find it funny that it is just
about the only thing here, so I thought I would throw a curve ball in
for Good Measure. It wasn't a complaint.. It was more of a little laugh
at the fact it is about the only thing here. I know most of You knew
that, but just in case...

I think that it would be a good idea for You guys to take settle this in a
good ephen game of LORD ;-) May the best Character win... 8)

So as not to be a waste of space and just fooling around. What was or is
the best and most stable version of the old style LORD game. In other
words some do not like the new style, so what was the most stable
version previous to the change to the new style?

Have a good One!

I got it. It sucks that noone converses here anymore, but with the current developer on a year or more hiatus from the project, there's really nothing to talk about.

Luckily there's still quite a few people still playing it.

I personally don't like 4.07+ because of the color changes and numerous spelling errors. I run a IBBS game with 4.06, and then run 4.06, 4.07, and 4.08 locally in case anyone wants to try them.

Your miles may vary on that though.

I don't play myself, but I have had users that do not like the 4.07. It
is the new style where You need a certain level to buy new armor or
weapons. They don't seem to like that too much. I find they play the
older version more. I dunno. I think I am running older version 4.0
Seems to be stable, but not sure if it is the most stable of the old
versions.

Have a good One!

I myself am not much of a gamer at all. However, You do bring back
memories as to when I first started BBS'ing, I got addicted for a while
to Solar Realms. A lot of people were playing that back in the day and I remember I liked to get on as early as I could to try and win the
lottery etc. and play my turns. I used to get up at 4:30am and that made
it easy. First thing I'd do is pop on to a couple sre games to wake up.
LORD came later on, but I found I just was not into the games in general
after a short while.

Have a Good One!

I am really happy that LORD was around. I had someone introduce me to that when I was in the BBS scene in Guam in 1995 and have been hooked ever since. It
is just a good game to play a little and make a lot of progress. Doesn't
take anything to maintan, and if you want to go whole hog there are a ton of things you can do in LORD. Just awesome.

Anyway, not really into any other games. I played Trader Wars a bit, and some Food Fight, and on one BBS a game called Wild West. But that was really about it.

It

is just a good game to play a little and make a lot of progress. Doesn't

LORD will go down in bbs history as one of the best I would think. It
was just perfect to get You addicted and keep You busy without taking a
huge amount of time.

The first game I was ever addicted to was, solar realms elite. I
remember I would call up several boards every morning at around 5 am
before going to work.

Anyway, not really into any other games. I played Trader Wars a bit, and

some

I could never get into trade wars, playing it manually. It just took too
long.

To each his own. Others that were popular, I did not care for myself,
but others did. Some had their moment of Fame, like The Pit, Land of Devastation, TWars etc. Scrabble oddly enough on my system has been the
one that was always consistent.

Have a good One!
