Slashdot Mirror
Endgame- Google Maps RTS (beta)
jshanman writes "Play the first Google Maps RTS! Online players (2-25) randomly receive a set of countries with troop hitpoints based on real world population data. To play: attack neutral and enemy countries in an effort to try to take over the world. You have a 20% chance of receiving more troops when you overtake an enemy country. More features to come! (currently in public beta status)."
Nuff said.
All your maps are belong to us !
I'm in your base, killing your doods!

No. Lets play Global (ThermoNuclear) War.
Wellp, after the first round of play, it appears that winner of the first ever Google Maps RTS is Slashdot and the loser is the endeavorpub.com server.
...Held at the White House?
Excellent idea posting a link to a MMORPG with the word 'Google' in there somewhere, on a freakin' nerds' site... poor, poor server.
Wait a minute, does that mean people are now reading the story?
I was thinking about creating a mirror and posting the link to my host. I'm not risking my server blowing up.

Zero to Slashdotted in 10 minutes!
How do you identify a troll on Slashdot? They're modded +5, Insightful.
Phew. From the title I was afraid it was based on the Worst Episode Ever.
Look at the email address of the submitter, it appears to be the owner of the server.
Guess he wanted to test the smoke alarm in his home office.
More data, damnit!
but can it find sarah connor?

Ironically, your UID is a lot higher than his.
Stupidity is like nuclear power, it can be used for good or evil. And you don't want to get any on you.
Yes, you've drawn the attention of hundreds of thousands of net savy game players... and your $100 linksys router has all the LEDs melted off the front and there is smoke coming from the ethernet cable. Good job. You're well on your way to returning us to the 1999 when people said they could do anything on the web and then failed to be able to keep up with demand.
You've just relived the dot-com bomb.
that should even things up a little
Sorry, I'm afraid you're way behind:

Gee, you sure you still want to play? Your heart just doesn't seem to be in the game...
I'll bet the higher-level employees at Google use this to practice for project It's Not A Game (working title).
