My friends and I just started playing this today based on a recent [pcgamer.com](http://pcgamer.com) article mentioning it. It is mainly like a board game that play out in very slow real-time over the course of weeks. So kind of like the old play-by-mail games in a sense. If it might interest you, check it out. It has enough depth to be fun without a huge time commitment. There isn’t a huge community, but maybe we can make it a little bit bigger. I would post a link but I’m not sure if that would be a no-no (for the record, I’m not affiliated with them at all, and have nothing to gain except more players). Can be found trivially by Googling Neptune’s Pride.

Nice! I’m in two or I would join. My friends and I are loving it. It is a very intense game because every decision takes a long time to take effect and cannot be undone. Especially launching an attack as I’m about to do in 45 minutes.
