On 16 Jan 95, Jim Ortlieb posted to r.g.e. "JunkieFest V might become a reality before too long." Only _new_ players ("newbies") are allowed to enter the "JunkieFest" games--the intention is a non-threatenning long term game where a newbie can learn the ropes.
An undercover EMPIRE NEWS agent overheard a conversation between Ken Huisman and a marble pillar in a hotel lobby in which Mr. Huisman was purported to have said "I will probably run the third annual invitational sometime soon. Not until after the new code comes out though. I'm rather busy right now."
Unconfirmed sources have leaked to the EMPIRE NEWS that within the next few days, David Fish will announce a "a very quick bloodfest type game", after which he will run ARCTIC BLAST II. But please don't send him any email about it until he makes the game announcement to r.g.e. because he is very busy at the moment. In the mean time, you will find a blitz running on his machine (see "Blitzes").
These are the long term games currently running:

Was won by FortWhoopItUp, Arrakis, and Sumeria. It was played on a
160x80 world, with 40 sectors start islands. The heavyweight fight to
the finish was the BayNetworks vs. Arrakis fight. Here are the top

"UAlberta NUKEFEST"
With a final wasteland count of 596, the battle-scarred world of the
UAlberta Nukefest ended with no clear winner. All countries began at
tech 190 with the first nuke available at tech 235 and the first
"good" nuke at tech 300 (there will be some very large nukes in this
game). The game was played with the MAD option (auto nuke
retaliation). Here are the top four countries from the final power
chart:sects eff civ mil shell gun pet iron dust food oil pln ship money Tallistan 199 91% 155K 6.1K 2.9K 402 3.8K 33K 3.7K 58K 8.4K 67 31 46K 35666.38 MILF 110 75% 59K 2.4K 739 125 508 6.7K 2.1K 19K 2.8K 5 12 1.2M 24427.63 Fyff 132 95% 85K 2.3K 4.7K 758 2.7K 29K 1.1K 60K 2.3K 54 6 133K 23904.21 Uesugi 187 86% 99K 1.8K 3.8K 102 1.1K 10K 1.7K 63K 3.3K 60 26 53K 22983.88Every single player on the chart was hit badly with nukes. Pretty
much everyone did their share of dishing out nukes as well, except
MILF (hence the cash), who is #2 on the power chart only because
nobody bothered to conquer him once they realized he was in flux and
they couldn't get his money.
"Dr. Pepper Weekend Madness"
was won by Doorbel. Seeing as this was more of a blitz style game, I
have decided not to make a new entry in the EMPIRE NEWS Hall of Fame.
Mars made a claim for the win after being at the top of the po for a
long time. Only to find that Doorbell had way many nukes and knocked
him out. If Ken Taylor gets enough interest he'll run another weekend
game once the semester starts again. This game had updates 1 hour
apart starting every Saturday and Sunday. It was a 96x64 world with
40 sector start islands with not so nice resources. Here's the final
top 4:sects eff civ mil shell gun pet iron dust oil pln ship unit money Doorbell 509 88% 328K 15K 13K 1.3K 33K 122K 9.4K 14K 239 31 16 109K 88777.48 Mars 413 93% 296K 20K 24K 1.8K 15K 67K 2.0K 12K 127 78 38 552K 68950.09 perl 205 92% 20K 2.8K 536 55 1 61K 4.2K 204 0 17 0 420K 13642.89 FWL 34 99% 27K 32 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 238K 1588.19"Hidden III"
is entering endgame with few candidates for the big prize. The past
month saw most medium-sized countries swallowed up by the three or
four superpowers that are now just beginning to size one another up.
Hidden III is played on 140x100 medium resources world with 26 sector
start islands. Other countries are "hidden" from you in the sense
that. I for one am extreemly curious to see a few power clips from
this game.
Power: Will only display your country's power.
Report: Will only report on contacted countries, and no status.
Relat: Will only display contacted countries.
News: Will only show news about contacted countries.
Accep: Will only display contacted countries.
Tele: Only allowed with contacted and deity countries.
Hidden III has the following "non-standard" parameters:
- Ships gain a max of 60% eff per update.
- Civs suffer higher damage from shelling, etc.
- Mob used in an attack is: 10 (normally 5)
- Research must be 50% of tech for nukes.
- Mob costs to place units on a mission is: 32
- Tech is lag base 2.55, with 1 easy tech.
- Tech bleed is higher than normal.
- War declaration costs: $100, not $1000. (sneak attacks are still $5000)
"Dwarven Chowder III"
Dwarven Chowder III is a small world (48x96) with large (80 sector)
start islands with two players apiece. They are 20% mountains. The
world is completely bridgable (with 2 spans) although in no place are
two start island bridgable. Thereare 2 updates a day, one update at
11:00 EST and the other at 23:00 EST.
Note the following four non-standard modifications:
- damage incurred by shelling (and bombing) shall be twice as potent.
- interdiction against troop/commodity movement shall cause damage to the sector that the movement occured in.
- bridge tech is 20 (instead of 40)
- tech log base increased to 2.55 (easy tech)

The first update is at 20:30 EST. To give late-starters a better chance, Drake has changed the start configuration of this game somewhat--you begin with 30 sanctuaries, each containing 550 civs. You can login to the Riverworld blitz as a visitor using either "Visitor/Visitor" or "visitor/visitor". One neat thing about the Riverworld blitz is that every night, the game gets videotaped, and the next day you can download a video of the game (see World Wide Web). This game now has HUGE nuclear weapons with bleed to sanctuary nations enabled, so if you connect in the afternoon, you should be able to try out the big nuke toys."UK Blitz"
has 70 sector start islands on an 80x40 world with no mountains and min distance of 4 between start islands. There are nukes and THERE IS
FOOD IN THIS BLITZ! The specs for this game may change over the first
few weeks depending on what players want. The visitor country is "visitor/visitor". There will be three blitzes per week with the following schedule:Game Open First Update Game Down 09:00 EST Monday 09:30 EST 12:00 EST Tuesday 09:00 EST Thursday 09:30 EST 11:00 EST Friday 12:00 EST Friday 12:30 EST 08:00 EST Monday"Levante"
The Levante blitz runs modified code which decays commodities every update."Arctic Blitz"
This blitz is being run temporarily Dave Fish's machine until he
finishes preparing his next long term game. The game will reset every
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday--however, the EMPIRE NEWS was unable to obtain the reset time of the blitzes.
These are the projects that Empire coders are currently working on:

received email from the author.MEC1.1.0 Mac Client
Ashley is still working on MEC110. He changed programming languages in the middle of the project (now writing in THINK C). He should have a developmental release in a month or two. Version 1.1.0 will port many of the features of pei to the macintosh (history substitution, aliasing, functions, scripting, tools, etc.). But the true intent of this development project is to eventually create a client (VMEC) that takes advantage of the macintosh's gaphical nature.myxec-0.3
Ulrich Drepper is just about ready to release version 0.3 of myxec,
but at the moment, he is very involved with a GNU project.Win3 client:
Development is on hold as Pat is preparing to deity a new long term game.pei 2.0
Ken Stevens and Sam Tetherow are working together to improve pei. Sam has been working on alot of extensions for deities recently which
should be available soon. They hope to add many new features which
may be found in the "WISH_LIST" file in the package. The big change
from the pei 1.* series to the pei 2.* series will be the way pei
communicates with the socket. The most recent version of pei is
always available on euromath.dk in /pub/incoming (see "Clients").Deity Database:
If you are interested in being the Deity for a game, or you have a machine on which we could run an Empire game, then please inform Pat
Loney (see "Who's Who").Users.Guide:
Geoff Cashman's progress has been "continuous, but slow at best". He is revising the Empire Users Guide, adding documentation for land units, missions, starv, budget, bestpath, and other features which have been added in the Chainsaw code. He is considering making it "cross-referenced" like a web page. always open to suggestions, and anyone who wants to make comments about what might go into the guide or ideas about it etc is welcome to email him (see "Who's Who?").WISH LIST:
If you know of any bugs in Empire or if there are any features you'd
like added to Empire, then please mail them to Ken Huisman (see "Who's Who?")
with the word "wish" in the subject line. The criterea for new
features being added to the wish list are:
1) It shall improve the player's experience of the game
2) It shall not be too complex (Empire is complex enough already!)
3) It shall not change the game in any fundamental wayEmpire.Com
Dave Nye is planning to start his own company which will provide net
access to his region. The name for his site, Empire.Com, was recently
approved and now all he needs to do is raise $20K to match the $20K he
already has to buy all the hardware and links he needs. Once he gets
his site, it will become the official ftp archive for Empire stuff,
and host Empire games regularly.

--- PAST ---
A team of coders has been working on improving the Empire Server.
Dave Pare merged the three main server programs into one monolith
server which uses a threaded communications protocol. There are now
no known bugs in the new Server.
--- PRESENT ---
Ken Huisman will beta-release the new Server to the Server Team imminently. You can expect a public beta-release to ftp.cis.ksu.edu about a week later.
--- FUTURE ---
Once this is done, Ken Huisman will post the WISH LIST to the Server Team, and the coders on the team will each take a copy of the new server and begin coding the items on the WISH LIST. They will send patches to Ken Husmann and he will apply them to the new server using
RCS. The server will be tested via an auto-resetting blitz which will always use the most recent version of the code. If all goes well, most of the important items on the WISH LIST will be addressed within a year and we will have a vastly improved Empire Server!Server Mailing List:
The mailing list, a forum of discussion regarding changes to the
server, has been established (with current traffic about 2 mail
messages per month). If, and ONLY IF you are very familiar with the
Empire source code, have experience modifying the Empire source, and
have time to help with the Server project, send mail to
