A group of Dtoid people and other PC gaming enthusiasts have gotten together to resurrect this game from obscurity. Rev Anthony was talked into showing up last week and his article gathered a lot of enthusiasm. I've been organizing this game for a bit and wasn't posting a c-blog because I thought, like most gamers, no one was interested in giving this intense psychological game a shot.
Well I was proven wrong, so if you want to come play just connect to the following server tonight at 8 pm EST: 205.237.100.92:27025
If you want to try it but don't want to buy it just yet, post that you want a guest pass below. Hopefully someone will have one and will be feeling generous.
The server is being made available to us by the people over at UMLan.com and is run by Flying Mongoose and Caffeine Powered so say thanks if you want, because we are getting this for free.
If the ship would run on my computer, I'd love to play. I'd try to form alliances and shift my allegiances around with other players. The Ship sounds awesome.
Perhaps in a few weeks I'll be on a better computer and be able to play.
You can't really form alliances because all communication is done in "character" but you can use vent to chat or co-ordinate with people. I've noticed that every once in a while and it can give them an unfair advantage.
There is another tactic I think is pretty funny. If you get killed by someone other than your hunter or your quarry you lose nothing and the person who kills you gets fined. What some people do is to bait people into thinking that you are hunting them. If you are around someone who is baiting your quarry it can be pretty funny when they kill them and then get stabbed in the back by you. Some people on the server are master baiters.
I was bored cuz I had either gotten killed or killed someone or both and I had just a knife so out of curiosity I threw it at a window to see if it would break. It did. So inside were two people right in front of each other in a restaurant. I threw the knife and hit one and he thought it was the other guy so he pulled his weapon to attack and got arrested.
The other time I was on the island and I killed luca with a flare gun. There wasn't much use for it so I just threw it at some people to see if they would pick it up. Somehow I hit one of them in the head and killed them. Then Eschatos killed me for killing his quarry.

I've always wanted to play this with a room of more than three people but I'm busy on Mondays and can't participate. Oh well...

Forgot to add that that the baiting tactic is mostly legit, the other will piss people.
off...
I fail
No master baitors was quite the win. Its okay to fail every once in a while. Everyone does.
The Ship HL mod or The Ship Source?
The Ship: Source
DAMNIT
There's always guest passes available Kamikaze. I got one if you wants it...
No... I know how the game goes... but I'm short on cash this month. Maybe we I got some to spend around. Thanks anyway.
*when
Wish I could show, but Monday's don't really work for me :( I'll see you guys at TF2FNF though! :)
Will be thar. Also, I has guest pass.
I'll be there and I also have a guest pass.
I had fun. Two great moments:

I'm really glad you keep this going, Surf. <3
