gr1d.org - A persistent online multiplayer prorgamming game

2010-12-20 Thread Michael Minutillo
Hey all,

Last week I started playing a game called gr1d (at http://gr1d.org/ ). It's
basically an MMO RPG RTS thing where you control software agents by writing
driver programs for them in .NET. It's still in beta so there are glitches
and bugs and the occasional downtime but it's been fun so far. Anyway, the
servers were reset on Sunday night (all accounts wiped) to kick off the
gr1d.org 0.9 competition (details:
http://gr1d.org/forum/Competition%20Lounge/a28db00e-dffd-4706-9059-07dfb510c061
)
so now is a pretty good time to jump in if this sounds like something you
might get into. It doesn't require a great deal of time and attention
(although some nights I seem to give it both anyway) and the level of
programming skill required to play is not scary.

Anywho, if you decide to join I am wolfbyte (Address:
7eaa38eb-7a74-49a3-a7ab-ecfabed7d4f1, Level 4 Engineer based in Connaught
Place). See you in The Arena!

P.S. Sorry if this comes across as spammy but I considered a game that
relies on .NET programming skill to be novel and on topic.

At least one of the developers is Australian too, so I think that means it's 
definitely 'on-topic'
