I come to you, my fellow fa/tg/uys in my most desperate hour. I bring you a game that is in desperate need of players. I would under normal circumstances bring this to /vg/ but the game is mostly text based and has a rather steep learning curve. That and i feel rather confident that it falls under the rule of /tg/ games. I will be watching this thread closely so feel free to ask any questions.

Here is a screen shot of the Planet Overview page, where most of your planets information is. This lists every thing from available crew to your income and population growth

A big part of the game is the many stats that different species, buildings and research grant. Obviously bigger numbers are better.
>>
Lets talk guns...there is quite a variety of them.
>>
There is also over 20 races to choose from, each with their own unique building/units and starting stats.

Also i would like to apologize for my shitty shoping of these pictures...i'm using paint and doing the best i can as i go.

And here is one from later in that same round. This is what we call making someone 'flat flat flat'
A fleet of vessels from the planet 'Signus-5 expanse' attempted to conduct a random bombardment at Viridia.
The attacking force was able to gain the element of surprise!
Because Viridia is in a state of vendetta against Signus-5 expanse, its units will have a 10% offense bonus.

/TG/ is moving really fast right now, i'll still be lurking but i think i'll bring this back when it slows down a bit.
>>
Could you summarize what this is and why we should care? Without context the walls of text mean nothing.
>>
Uh yeah i guess i should. Sorry about that this is like my 2nd time posting on 4chan. Steallar Realms is a text based game that runs in 20 minute turns, or "months". Every thing you build or research takes a number of months that varies on what you are building/researching. A usual game is 300 in game years. The goal is to accumulate as much prestige as you can. Prestige is earned through building ships, researching, building pop and attacking other players. A usual game round is about a month and half of real time.
Why you should care? Well i suppose that is heavily based on what type of games you enjoy. Specifically Stellar Realms is a text based...i almost want to call it a planet simulator but that explanation falls short. The main appeal, at least to me, is that its browser based and mobile friendly while being completely controlled by the players. There are not NPC's (as of yet) so every thing from the economy to the Galactic High Council is all player ran.

Interesting, I'll give you a free bamp and check it out sometime in teh future although all text based games aren't usually my favorite thing to do on the computer ;)

Please do! I'll probably be doing another thread thursday, I'll put some more thought in how to approach and explain the game in the mean time. The new round starts Friday and we only have like 20 players, we used to have around 100(there was a 5 year break and we lost a lot of players) so i'm a bit rushed.
