A very small part time site I'm working on is;

http://www.xprs.co.uk/entry.asp?c=2

The idea is simple, you sign up your empire, choose your weapons, manage your empire and attack other empires to become the strongest empire in the game! I'm hoping to make it very interactive with battles in real time and decisions on just about every aspect of your empire from taxes to birth control!

I'm also integrating an SMS service that will text you if someone attacks your empire to alert you to get online. (If you have WAP, you can even defend yourself on the move!) This service will be free (limited amount of SMS messages per day) and as long as demand doesn't get too high I'm willing to pay this. Premium accounts will be run on a non profit basis and will help cover the cost of messaging.

The link above is my entry link. Every user has their own entry link. The more confirmed clicks per day, the more soldiers you have. The more signups you get, the more commanders you have. (The commander's under you will also have to pay you tax so it pays to sign up people!)

Any thoughts, suggestions or abuse?

This project is finally ready. If you want to play, all accounts have now been reset and everyone has an equal share of the wealth, power and soldiers!

To sign up under me, click this link. If you want to go it alone (bear in mind you won't get wages from anyone!) then click here.

Please let me know if you have signed up and anything is unclear and / or you have any suggestions.

Hello Will,

Wow, very nice system/project!

I had always been hesitant to login as it looks like I could easily spend hour after hour inside this. Is this still an active project? How is it going? I just signed up and it is way cool! Hope you are continuing on w/ it.

Best wishes.

Hi Allen,

It's fairly dormant at the moment. I think something is broken but I just cannot find the time to sort it out.

I am planning a complete re-think of how it works. Originally I thought it'd be too much to have every user own pieces of land and have to defend their own while conquering others, but I'm sure with some well thought out programming and design it can work quite well. I want it to be much more interactive rather than the current text-based system that is currently in use. As soon as I find some time I will be sure to re-work and rewrite this site.
