"Among the many innovations in Alamaze is the truly fantastic magic system, unequaled anywhere in PBM. Not only does the magic system fit in with the entire game system hand-in-hand, it also shows the depth and massive amounts of designing and programming time spent lavishly in this game."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALAMAZE!

 

April, 2014 marks the one year anniversary of the resurgence of Alamaze from its hiatus.  Some of the highlights of our first year include:

  • Over 60 new games started;
  • Over 10,000 posts by players on our forum;
  • Updated rules, kingdom setups, and turn results, all in attractive pdf files;
  • Games available in seven different formats including different levels of diplomacy, different numbers of players, and different numbers of active kingdoms;
  • An emphasis on benevolent mentoring of new players;
  • Dramatic reduction in fees over customary PBEM pricing via our various available Service Levels;
  • Metagame enhancements including Valhalla and Peer Commendations, where players recognize the contributions of their player collegues for Chancellor (mentoring), Iron Willed, and Infamous personas;
  • Introduction of our new Alamaze Resurgent map, improving aesthetics and changing strategy;
  • Introducing same-day processing and turn around, where when turns are due by noon, players get results back in their hands by about 3pm that day.

 

We are excited about all the improvements and the return of more than 100 players in our first year.  And we are just getting started.
