April Door Game Player Request Thread

I've noticed it can be tough to find active door games.  I tend to
find them just by stumbling onto them -- if I join a random game on a
random BBS, 9 times out of 10 I unfortunately end up being the only
active player.  So I had an idea that we could do a monthly post for
anyone to use to request more players join a particular door game on a
particular BBS.  I thought about making requests conditional on
joining or agreeing to join someone else's requested game, but I think
it'd be better to keep things simple to start out with (plus, there's
no sense in forcing people to join games they don't enjoy playing).
So, post away!  Also, feel free to comment on the idea or suggest
possible "rules."  For instance, perhaps we should limit it to one
player request per person per month (so one person doesn't post a
whole bunch of requests and discourage other participants) and/or
restrict sysops from posting requests for their own boards.  For this
month, though, anything goes!

My request: Global War on Retrograde (telnet://rgbbs.org).  I've set
it up as a Normal game with sequential turns, adjacent fortifications,
and 3 allowed fortifications.  If you've never played the game before,
it's essentially just like the board game Risk.  It's not that hard
and I'm not that good so don't be intimidated!

I have joined your Global War game but chose to wait for more players
instead of requesting to start now.   Also played Lemonade Stand.   I
want SUPERSLOTS!!

Awesome!  We need one more player now to have a game of it, but can
accommodate up to 6 players.  Where do you want to play Superslots?

Doesn't matter really...preferrably one that's "registered" so it
saves scores every day.  I've run across it a few times, but I'm
usually too baked to remember.

Anybody know where there is still an active inter-BBS BRE, or an
active Operation Overkill? Thanks.
