The e621 browser should only need to login if you want to do a steem post.
The far horizons client needs you to login to both see your secret game information and to submit next turn orders. Every play the old school turn by email games?
It is an old school turn based game.
Originally it was played via paper mail.
Later it was adapted and updated for playing via email.
I've taken the email version and got it working and added a basic interface to play it via the steem blockchain.
Part of the challenge of the game is trying to figure out to play it. :-)
It isn't all point and clicky.... you type orders into an order form then submit them... kinda like writing out memos for workers in another part of the world to obey with only the results of their obeying them being returned as part of the next turn. Game ends when the game engine randomly decides it does and then a new one is started. @PupMisfit has already wiped me out once.... so far he has been much better than me at it.
I didn't know people played rpgs's before playstation 1, you guys should set up an account for just the game and share the public key so people can play.
that might be a really fun steemit game. also, you can always change your master key if the public key is abused (too much ;) )
FAR HORIZONS is a strategic role-playing game of galactic exploration, trade, diplomacy, and conquest.
At the start of a game, each player controls an intelligent species and the home planet on which it lives. As the game progresses, you can explore nearby regions of the galaxy and establish colonies. As you range farther and farther from home, you will encounter other intelligent species. These encounters can be hostile, neutral, or friendly, depending on the participants. Interstellar war is a distinct possibility.
FAR HORIZONS, unlike some similar games, has been designed to make role-playing as easy and practical as possible. In addition to being a rich and realistic simulation, there are no true victory conditions - the game is played solely for enjoyment. However, at the end of the last turn, final statistics for all species will be sent to all of the players so that they can compare their relative strengths and weaknesses. Thus, rather than requiring a massive bloodletting as in some other similar games, it's possible for a peace-loving species to effectively "win".
Still, those who enjoy a more aggressive game, or those who wish to role-play an "evil" or warlike species will not be disappointed. FAR HORIZONS does not discriminate against anyone - it simply tries to be as realistic as possible.
It is a very nice unique style when compared to most styles at e621.net.
what's that site? it needs login to view.
The e621 browser? or the Far Horizons client?

hey sorry I don't know what any of that stuff means.
Not a problem.
what is it though? I don't have to play it to be curious, do I?
No, you don't have to play it to know it.
