Forward the Workers and Peasants in the name of the Glorious Bolshevik Revolution! Down with the Kulaks! Fight, comrades of the Red Guard, in the name of the People!
Good read. Your “TAXI TO VICTORY” comment made me look that up out of curiosity. I have to admit that chatlog was the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time. Shows how long I’ve been in the mmo culture.
Good read indeed. I’ve been following the Master’s rants since the the early days of the “unmentioned” blog, and remember the Taxi to Victory when it was first posted Had no idea you were in the cups at the time, however.
On a completely different note. Dave’s mention of the Sci-Fi book he read. It was likely either Poul Anderson’s Tau Zero or Ben Bova’s “Stars, Won’t You Hide Me.” (according to ze Googleness).
Given his brief plotline summary, now I have to dig those up

You’re playing it right now. They decided to skip the game and move right to the meta-game: Whining in the forums. (or in this case, blog comments.)

“I realize that not everyone wants to play the penultimate Russian Civil War sim where everyone dies of dysentery.”
And you said you weren’t going to leak your IP.
Leak… dysentery… I just met my self-amusement quota for the day. Thanks!

This was a great interview and actually inspired an idea for a way to create a story that millions of people can participate in simultaneously.
Keep it up Mr. Jennings, YOUDAMAN!

If this is where we comment on the forum discussion, then where do we discuss these comments? Is there a mailing list or something?

You have to grind up to a level 25 metagamer (or lvl 27 ranter) in order to unlock the meta-meta-game instance.

Looking into it, I’m pretty sure it was the Ben Bova story.
