Slashdot Mirror

Allow me to take a moment to clarify: there's a huge difference between the game under discussion, called Outwar and the jetpack-based shooter (ala Starship Troopers, the book) called Outwars, which predated Outwar by half a decade. Singletrac the company is now defunct, but were a bunch of game developers having a great time making great games. Unfortunately, Outwars wasn't one of those great games. But it was a pretty fun game that didn't involve spam :)

Disclaimer: I'm listed twice in the credits for Outwars, once as the network admin, and once as a model. The guy we'd planned on shooting didn't show up, so they stuck overweight, slightly-German-looking me in instead.

So the purpose of the game is to get people to click on your links. Each page is a PHP page which makes an MySQL query.

I dare say that being put on Slashdot will bring the server to it's knees.

FAQ

The purpose of outwar is to develop your character by gaining power and earning money.

How do I gain power? Every time someone clicks on your secret link, your character will gain power. Try placing your secret link somewhere people will see it; such as in your profile, away message, or a web page.

This outrageous!

Someone's already done this, claiming to be a girl in her sig, and giving a link into her journal. In there, she has a listing of the top 10 Slashdot users who have the most Friends (Fans? I never could keep that system straight). Looking at her journal entries (and I think this just started a month or 2 ago), she's steadily increased until she's now #1.

And moving completely offtopic, someone's made a video game out of spam: www.outwar.com.

Has anyone been watching Taken by Steven Spielberg?...now that's good. Think Scifi has redeemed itself...i mean..it's a 20 hour miniseries for cryin out loud...=D Taken of Scifi

It's like the man with the metal plate inside his head getting buzzed everytime he travels. Oh the wonders of technology.
