Collecting Other Communities

[Tom]

Over time, many forums, other games, roleplaying communites, etc. etc. have been mentioned on the forums. I would like to collect them in one place - here and then maybe open a Wiki page.

The purpose is twofold. One, to give BM players other things they might be interested in. Two, give us a list of places where we could find more interested players once the game has stabilized again.

So post yours below, please, even if you've already mentioned them elsewhere on the forum.

Aelyria.com was mentioned, but I know nothing about it.

We've been around for a while, this is a Battletech game that's been in development for years now.

There is a group of BM players who have been playing games of Diplomacy Online.

Urban Dead: http://www.urbandead.com

These games have a good community.

I brought some players from Shadowclan.org over the years. Maybe 3 or 4 still play BM. Great RP community.

  I found out about BM while playing Star Wars Combine:

  Tom mentioned that BM "could find more interested players once the game has stabilized again".  Is BM not fully functional right now?  What does "stabilized again" mean?

I imagine that getting the trading distance fixed, new messaging system in place, and probably one or two other bugs/enhancements.

FTFY.

FTFY.

There's only 91 open bugs right now. That's down from 117 3 months ago.

The Combine has been in a constant state of development for over 13 years so I'm used to bugs.

You still play that?  You have my sympathies.

Tom, I'd recommend BM never affiliate itself with the Combine in any way, shape or form.  You don't want how many of those players act.  They'll befriend people OOC to gain trust just to betray them and get ahead in the game.  It's really a sick community.  They are the poster child for the "play to win" mindset.

  Painting with a pretty wide brush, do you think?  I agree that there is a lot of IC political manuevering and back-stabbing but I've never run into an OOC issue.  I've been in the Combine for about 2 1/2 years and have met a lot more nice people than bad.  Actually, the tone of your comments are worse than any I can remember in the Combine - and I've only been here for three days.  The "sick community" comment is about as ignorant a statement as I've heard on any message board.

I was there for ten years and was a member of the game staff briefly in addition to being a forum moderator.  Add in leading/owning several factions and having even been a member of the Imperial High Command.  Compare that to your 2 and a half then get back to me.
