[PlayByMail.Net Review] Far Horizons: The Awakening (Turns 1 through 5)

[GrimFinger]

And yet, the story that you guys were telling was really compelling from an external viewpoint.

I wonder if the solution is really to find a way to impose the creation of personal journals as a part of creating your turn actions, and then publishing them at certain points?

Just thinking aloud, but the story dynamic of first contact is pretty awesome and when written from a convincing viewpoint, even moreso.

I think that Ixnay started writing his, because I was writing mine. I started writing mine, as a tool for feedback, of a sort, for Casey, the game's moderator. It sort of turned into dual player journals, for Ixnay and I, as things progressed.

For me, this game is a test game. I have no idea how my empire is doing, compared to others. In that regard, the test is pretty much a failure, from my standpoint. In other regards, there are some successes, I think.
