About 10 years ago I was introduced to a game called
It was fun, I enjoyed it. Made a few friends and at one time use to get 15 letters a day. I think I might have been geekier than Rosalind back then (don't worry she wont read this heh) This was before everyone had the internet and mobile phones were still brickish.
I eventually tired of the game and by that I mean I just couldnt afford it. £2.something per turn was just too much. They've moved onto the internet now so turns are processed by email and so everything is a lot quicker than it use to be.
Well anyway, my reason for starting this thread and telling you about all this is because they offer a free demo. That's 20 free turns to play with. So I thought "what the hell" and so I'm now setting up a party for you guys on Freeola :) I'll sort out all the orders and results etc, you guys just create the characters, help decide some orders and enjoy reading what happens :D

Okay first we need 6 characters, I'll take one,
If you would like to play and Kawada and pb you'll have to do this too. Could you please do the following;
1.
2.
3.
Unfortunately we can only have 1 of each, so no 2 human fighters etc.
Suggestions : I can't remember everything but what I can recall was that it's best to only have 1 thief and halfbloods make the best ones. Dwarfs are good fighters, elves are good mages, you get the idea. Just be whoever or whatever you want really :)
I'll post a description about each race and class so you can decide.

Quest. It's an RPG PBM (that's Play-By-Mail), you would create this party of 6 characters and venture around this world doing the usual RPG stuff. To play the game you had to post orders on what you wanted your party to do. It involved using letters and numbers so it looked a bit confusing (ex. M 3334). After they received your orders and processed it, they would send you the results of what happened and then you would send in more orders.It was fun, I enjoyed it.

[B][U]Party Name[/U][/B] : Ivalice Force1.
Prime Halfblood Fighter (Machie)2.
Boulder / Dwarf Fighter (pb)3.
Robin Human Thief (Kawada)4.
Echo / Elf Priest (Vexxxed)5.
Ambaria Narseek / Elf Mage (snake11)6.
Dead Spiders / Human Priest (Mumbai Duck) Page:
In our first battle you were hurt quite badly, unfortunately we didn't heal you enough so your character would run off. So it was just the 5 of us. Which is annoying as your spells would have come in handy during the fights.
So this next turn I think will involve a lot of healing everyone especially Robin. Then might go into the town and buy you two some more armour, and perhaps a crossbow for Robin as he's much better with it than a sword. We saw how well Echo did with his bow instead of a sword. Killing all those cavemen and goblin.
Then we might kill that hobgoblin and then travel to city which will hopefully have more things to do.
I was quite impressed by Dead Spiders and his spell casting, especially that Wrath of Sundonak which turned that caveman leader into a crisp heh.

I'm sad now.:( I want to get to the killin!
Why do I keep on retreating?

Okay Turn 3 turned out really good, unfortunately I don't think we healed Ambaria Narseek enough :( so he retreated in the battles. The priests did very well thanks to their auto spell casting.

Wow I went ahead and did turn 3 with the suggestions and my god Vex, Echo has become a killing machine when I switched his weapon from melee to missile (you have a skill of 26-Poor with bows) which is your long bow.
Sounds like a plan to me! I suppose I'm happy to use my healing powers :-P
Indeed :D
okay then, now we decide what we are going to do next turn.
Prime and Ambaria Narseek are pretty banged up at the moment, so I would suggest our two priests heal them.
I'm still trying to figure out how to use the missile weapons before we attack. Then I suggest we set some spells that will be cast just before a battle, these might be Strength or terror.
The only two things that might be worth stealing or attacking again, are the cavemen which have a number of 4, 1 seriously hurt and 1 slightly hurt. I feel we can kill them all if we use some spells to help us.
Then we could go down and attack the 2 Centaurs, those are the half horse half men people. We could either attack them too or just send Robin to go steal from them. It depends how well things go against with Cavemen, but with no children, Boulder should be a little more useful :)

Damn Kids!
It's because they didn't have beards, you know...

That's rather worrying to be honest... You would think he would have attacked the others rather than the children..but yeah, a bit of fear could go down rather well. Save that battle raving madness one for a slightly tougher crowd!

lol, I think elven priests arent very brave so if anyone is quick to run away it's you :) I'm suprised you didn't lose any health.
If we decide to go back and attack the 4 remaining cavement then I suppose we could use you to cast a spell at the beginning. Let's see what good ones you have.
BERSERK
With this miracle the priest fills his party with reckless courage. They will fight against overwhelming odds and their obvious determination will often daunt a timid foe.
Unlike the mage spell BATTLE LUST the party are not totally consumed by their recklessness and will still recognise the party retreat factors set prior to battle.
TERROR
A simple miracle which places fear in the hearts of the chosen target. A novice priest will lower an enemy's morale or cause craven creatures to flee. When used by a more powerful priest this miracle can cause instant death from pure terror.
Terror might be a good one, as we'll outnumber them 6 to 4 thanks to pb killing the children. Which by the way I find odd, he's the strongest character we have and we even gave him his best weapon an axe and he still went for the children heh.
