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!

    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.

    Excellent idea posting a link to a MMORPG with the word 'Google' in there somewhere, on a freakin' nerds' site... poor, poor server.

    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.

  11. Melted Router: the game. by neo · · Score: 4, Funny

    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.
