So I have a slightly-unrelated question here for the old-timers.
I remember back on ATGS that someone ran a netgame version of this, but unlike the ones that were played over email or Usenet post, they were basically (overly-descriptive) transcripts of a game session.
Did anyone who is still around participate in that back in the day, and how did that work?
That was my game, \'Net 10-to-1, which began way back February 2000. It was my very first game which led to me hosting many other games over several years.
As Travis mentioned, most \'NetGames basically worked where the host E-mailed you a question or asked you to make a decision. After a series of back-and-forth correspondence, he would link everything together into a transcript which made up a segment of the \"show.\"
For an E-mail adaptation of Fifteen-to-One, I obviously had to make several rule changes in order to shorten the game. The biggest change (and certainly the most unfair) was the rule I had in Round 2 where if the Nominee answered correctly, then the Nominator earned a strike (as opposed to losing a life) for losing the challenge. If I had stuck with the actual rule, then the game could have gone on forever.
