Hey all,
This group seems to be more or less dead, aside from the game
announcements, but I figured I'd at least say Hi and see if anyone's
around.
I have known of Empire off and on for years, as it's one of the few
4X-style games I can play as a totally blind player. The basic CLI
client is mostly accessible, and with the proper screen reader I'm
able to parse most game information.
I had some fun on one of the Blitzes a few years back, though don't
remember which one. I'm interested in getting back into the game in
general but wonder if I'll have much competition to speak of.
I was honestly a newbie when I played last, and I hope my somewhat
increased patience nowadays will translate into somewhat better
success.
Ultimately I hope I can help out the Empire community in some way, if
only because it's a shame to see this game with so few players. It's definitely unique, and I very much appreciate the accessibility, so to
speak. :)

I can't even figure out how to run this g*damned Google piece-of-****ing
sh*t newsgroup software. Is this even WORKING? Does anybody CARE?
Bloody hell!

Those are separate questions, BTW. Ignore the second. Nobody cares if you care.
Anyway, I can't even remember how to post, and this guy's gonna play BLIND?!
(Hey, wait a minute...this could work out okay....)
Yes. We could ALL play blind. YES.
