MSWL Olmec PBEM Soccer Game GPL'ed

zeb writes "MSWL is one of the most popular PBEM football (soccer for North Americans) game, which is itself a variation of a game of postal soccer invented by Alan Parr in England around 1970. In this game, each manager has to organise his team, manage fatigue, train his players and trade them. Olmec is a game engine written by Alla Sellers. It helps the commissioner (game master) to simulate the games and publish the results. Allan has decided to release the source code of Olmec under the GPL, so that everyone can enhance the program. The actual version of Olmec is written in Visual Basic and uses MS Access as a database. The author suggests Olmec could be rewritten in a multiplatform language, for example Java, using MySQL as the database. This task is made easy because of the rich documentation about the game engine (PDF format)."

    Any sport where upper-body strength doesn't count is gay. That's why the U.S. only allows fags to play on its soccer teams. Soccer is so gay and demeaning towards any real man, though, that even these guys are only temporary- in place until the U.S. women's team becomes good enough to compete in the World Cup.
