3067.3Attention DECweb addicts: TENN needs you!PCBUOA::BAYJJim, PortablesWed Apr 30 1997 19:0751
    For all you DECweb addicts going through withdrawel, Dave Tenny, "the
    MAN", the dude that made it all happen, NEEDS YOUR HELP!
    
    Dave, as you know has left Digital, and in his copious free time is
    working on a new "play by Email" (PBEM) game called "Tenn - Adventures
    in the Tenth Millenium".  He runs it through his Ultranet account, so
    it is accessible via the internet to anyone with Email (and FTP to pick
    up manuals, tools, etc).
    
    This game is still in the infant stages.  Its NOT ready for prime time. 
    Never-the-less, he needs play testers.  If you are interested, you can
    be a beta tester for "free". :-)
    
    Sure, you don't have time.  Its spring, and you have other outside
    interests.  Hey!  Nobody said beta testing a new game was *fun*!!!
    Its easy to play in *your* spare time.  What about Dave,  Game designer
    extrordinaire?  After all the happy hours you pissed away in DECweb,
    are you gonna let Dave down now, when he needs you most?  
    
    C'mon!  Be a man! (or a bug)  Sign up today!!!!!! (see the URL below)

    (PS  This new game supports an interesting feature that allows more
    than one person to collaborate on running an empire.  For example, one 
    might handle combat while the other handles empire management.  If you
    are interested in this (which might consume less time) then let Dave
    know.  Since I haven't had copious free time lately, I would consider
    taking on a partner, so if you'd like to join me, let me know)
    
    (PPS Note there is only *one* game.  There is no fast, medium and slow,
    because the nature of the game is that you can structure your orders to
    function through multiple game turns, thus eliminating the need to
    micromanage every single turn.  So currrently, only one game, already
    in progress, exists.  You probably have several options, such as taking
    over an abandoned empire, becoming a coplayer, or starting with a newly
    generated "generic" empire (TENN also supports an extensible, VERY
    large universe).  Contact Dave for more details)
