    We are a few days in and aside from one issue with Galactic Dynasty
    (which we are working out), things seem to be getting competitive.

    It really is great to see so many people enjoying so many games from
    the 80s. Kudos to all the sysops who participate in League 77.

    If there is anything you guys see that needs to be fixed or if there is something I could do to make things easier for you guys, let me know.

    I think LORD offers some cool possibilities /if/ the IGM selection is calibrated well enough to prevent something akin to House Rules Monopoly. In other words, in /real/ monopoly, it's mostly a skill game, but too many
    people think landing on Free Parking is like hitting the lottery and
    completely upending any skill/effort anyone has put in thus far.

    So. What am I saying? Maybe we can get a nice little collection of IGMs for LORD, none of which alter the game play significantly, but each just a bit,
    so that making forward strides takes quite a bit of effort and planning. I mean, LORD is fun and all, but otherwise it's really just a bunch of
    consistent button mashing. :)

    Also we should reset clans so I can start from scratch, k thx bye

    I am open to suggestions. As of right now, the only allowed IGM is Castle Colddrake.

    Adding the right IGMs withh definitely expand the game play, i'm just not familiar enough with what is out there.

    Me neither. I'll go in some general area and ask.

    "What LORD IGMs work with Mystic BBS on Ubuntu linux?"

    How about Barak's House, it was coded by Seth himself and is freeware. I'll upload a copy to your board so you can check it out.
