Would you guys be interested any?
(Redudant for audience)

To be honest, and don't rape me (ok maybe a little), I have never understood nodewars :( It sounded like a game of RISK using the node map...
-
Umm.. err.. it's like a nation-based RPG. With nodes, and Terrans and Vasudans.
-
uh oh... I didn't realize this was in two places. I just saw this thread in the regular forum and thought, "Hey, didn't I just respond to this a little while agO? Hmm.. I guess not."
lol, yes I'm an ass.
Anyway, I guess I'd have to read into it to find out how stats are stored then if it's an RPG.
-
Stats are stored on the forum. You make them up.

How many attempts have people made on cloning Nodewars now?
-
...... none. Unless you count various sequels. Which would be around four or five.
This wouldn't be much of a clone as much as it would still be NW, just FS Universe based, maybe few rules added and subtracted a bit. I don't know though, because I haven't put much thought into it because I don't know if anyone would play...
-
*Bumpz0r*
Would anyone else be remotely interested at all?
-
I might be. I've played something similiar at another board. It was quite fun. :)
-
Excellent.
And for the others:
.............................................................. .........
Okay, I'll summarize.
More or less, I'm bored and want something quick, easy, and entertaining to do in my spare time. I thought of NW, and FS, and making a new Nodewar into Nodewar: Freespace Universe edition. A timeframe or specific rules haven't been set per se, as I don't know if people would be interested or not.
For those of you now familiar with Nodewar, it's a nation (or person, whatever) based RPG where you make yur nation (through statistics and junk) and get put in a universe with other people's nations and have a go at it. Before, it was a new universe based loosely off FS, using Shivans, and Beams, and Jumpnodes. This would be a direct translation from FS, meaning someone would play As the GTA, or Ross 128, or captain of the Bastion, or whatever.
This is cooler than the other NW iterations... mostly because they are dead, and we all like FS, so it should be at least mildly entertaining, right?

Is there someplace I could download nodewars or am I completely missing something...?
-
It's not a download, it's all text based, on forums.
See here (http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=9) or at my first link.
-
Still not getting it, I guess I can help a bit... What excactly do you need?? How and where do you play? I can't enter you link and I don't get it on the Forum :p
-
Well, it would be played on the NW boards, and I don't know how to explain it more than I already have without going and finding an 'official' rule sheet from some past iteration or something...
-
Meh, it sounds interesting, so I'm there :)
-
The Reconstruction Era has been chosen for the timeframe in which the game will be set, unless I hear convincing argument otherwise.
A battle system and other things are being worked out now.
That is all.
