Hi, welcome to rasteroid.net,
homepage of Erik Walle, aka Rasteroid.
I love games of all kinds, particularly strategy games. I do have other interests, but they won't be made so immediately obvious on this site. I've made two multiplayer web-based games, which are freely available to play here are now. You need nothing but your web brower, as they are primarily text-based. They are not for the faint of heart, however. To do well, you should be prepared to read several pages of documents, and to log on and play once or twice a day.
Battle Mines
Battle Mines is an empire-building strategy game, in which players mine the landscape (production happens four times daily) and trade with one another to gain the combination of materials required for constructing buildings and other activities. You can choose your government type, send out spies, build outposts, terraform the land, and ultimately go to war with your neighbors to gain vassals.

The Game of God
In the style of Ravenblack's Vampires or Kevan's Urban Dead, Game of God is an RPG in which players play a religious figure and travel the world constructing temples to convert people to their religion. As they gain converts, their rank will increase. By doing their God's work, the receive Pope Points, which can be used to purchase several different skills affecting game-play, including two large branches in the character's progression. (Ninja or Quantum Meditator, Water Master or Fire Master.) Players get ~50 moves a day, but can regenerate moves much faster by doing certain things such as resting in their own temples, meditating, or being Pope.

My favourite computer games:
Warlocks
Soldat
Nethack
Some fun non-computer ones: Diplomacy, Puerto Rico, Chess, Backgammon, Canasta.
There is pretty much no mentally challenging game I won't give a bash.
I realize that there is more to life than games, yet I find myself having a terrific time when mired in them.
My other interests include writing, literature, languages (I have some French), martial arts (I have my 1st Dan in Tae Kwon Do), music (I have played alto sax), movies, art, programming, poetry and philosophy, so if you have any good ideas please feel an overwhelming urge to chat with me.

There was a blue trifling fish
never thought itself "a fish"
always thought itself "a sea hog"
when the b-fish saw porpoise
went into clique..
see hogs never looked at the B-fish
cos it's small.
it was too small
they could't see it..
couldn't see it
b-fish is keeping swimming to fallow
but it's got tired so stoped swimming..
taking a break
taking a break
B-fish met an asteroid
b-fish liked it cos it's red
The red-asteroid looked at the blue-fish
The blue-fish looked at the red-asteroid
b-fish loved to kiss the r-asteroid's tentacle
r-asteroid loved to touch the blue fish's scale

Almost all works on this page are by me, Erik Walle. Some things aren't, and worse yet in some cases those things aren't properly labelled and credit isn't given where credit's due. That sucks. But overall, honset to goodness, 99.9999% of the content is by me, baby.
