The Nethernet
« on: June 04, 2009, 01:26:55 am »

Hello, people. I found this game that is played on the internet. :D I mean the entire thing!
It is called The Nethernet.
 Just so you know, DP is Data Points which is the currency and Pings is social currency which you get for commenting missions and having people join with a special link. IIRC, it only works on Firefox because you need to get a toolbar.

You can choose a class of the Order or Chaos.

(It's easier to read the below text after joining or going to their website. I have no idea why occasionally ramble like that and this. >_<)
Spoiler: Wall of Text? (click to show/hide)

They even have a separate IRC channel for every website. So me and another player can use the IRC button to open the irc for, say, www.bay12games.com.

This has actually been around a little under a different name, previously called 'PMOG' (Passively Multiplayer Online Game). Sadly I no longer use Firefox as my browser of choice so we'll have to wait for Chrome extensions to open up

Hmm... nice game idea. I'll try it, I always liked such original stuff. I think I'll take Pathmaker...

EDIT: Wait, is it possible to level up in more than one class? If yes, sweet!

This looks SURPRISINGLY fun, and like a huge time sink, and like I might do it anyway.  Probably as pathmaker.

Has anyone evaluated what-all the plugin entails, outside of the game?  Spyware, ads, etc?  It's not *nothing*, so I'd like to know what bad stuff it does so I can decide if it's worth it or not.

This looks nifty. Perhaps someone can make a mission to introduce people to Dwarf Fortress?

Yes it is.

I believe Pnx already has. Though, it doesn't go through DF wiki.

Oh yeah, this. I never really got around to picking it back up after I lost the use of my hard drive.

Hah, this game is pretty nifty.

I like mining this page.

I, on the other hand, like leaving DP cards and crates on this page and other Bay12Games pages. I think Benefactor is better for me than Pathmaker.

EDIT: And I really, really hate being destroyer. I tried it, layed 5 mines, and up to now, I've tripped over 3 of the ones I layed myself :/
