The last time I tried this, I was having trouble with the DNS, but I think that the site is working OK now, so I'll ask again. I am looking for alpha test players to play a test run of the ever-popular, ever-disgusting game, Evangelist Wars. This game was conceptualized by Captain Fuck, from Fidonet, in 1991, just for the sake of offending fundies, but it went on to become one of the world's most popular door games (whoodathunkit?), and is still played all over the world. I participated in the coding of version 2.0 and 3.0 for BBS. I currently own the rights to the game, and I revived it in 2005 as a .php web-enabled program. Since then, I have added thousands of lines of code, and a little bit of my sense of humor.
This is the link to the basic get-started documentation :
If it sounds intruiging, by all means, let me know that you are interested in testing and I will set you up with a player login. A game will be starting, probably, in a week or two. I'm interested in feedback, anything that doesn't work (including the above link), and any ideas for improving the game. Fundies need not apply!
Want to contribute your original music or art to the game? If it fits the situation, by all means. This is not a commercial project, so I can't pay you anything, but I will put your name in the credits if I decide to use your stuff.
This sample of the daily news, from a game in 2006, gives you a little bit more of an idea what is going on :
8/12/06:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Need information about your church? You can view your statistics, and click on the church name.
Your congregation might make some comments after the service. Be sure to pay attention and they will tell you what you're doing wrong.
You will now have to sober up before you can preach effectively. The bug in the sermon causing division by zero has been fixed.
8/9/06:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintenance is now being run daily, instead of once an hour; however, there may be times when I have to run it more than once for development purposes.
The post office is open for mail, not just for welfare checks anymore! You can now send and receive mail with other players, so stop by and check your mail every now and then.
8/7/06:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Against my better judgment, I have added 'masturbate' to the church service. As stupid a thing as it might seem to do, there is actually one major benefit that evil preachers can reap from this stunt. As with any other action, always watch your stats to see what it does for you!
To make up for some of the church functions that will aren't available, a few parameters have been tweaked. The existing church service options will have more of an effect on your offering...provided that you choose the right ones for your righteousness level.
Eventually there will be sound and pics or video displaying the congregation's reactions to the church functions that you choose, but since those aren't in yet, the service display bar has been enhanced. In this example, the player has 1200 minutes of game time left to hold his service (like anyone would sit through that), his righteousness level is -206 (evil), he has no sex scandals, his service is going really shitty, and there are still 37 people left in his congregation.
1200 minutes remaining (RL -206/Sca 0/Svc 0/CS 37)
Hopefully this will make the service easier to understand. Praise Gawd!
8/4/06:

Some support for browsers other than IE is being offered. If you are using a different browser and you want to experiment with it, you can change your browser type in the control panel.
Secretary help is working, including the all-new "give me a hint". Be sure to stop by and have a talk with your secretary.
GOD HAS BEEN GIVING AWAY MONEY!!! Check your stats to see if you have been blessed.
Drinking now lowers your rightousness level. The limit that the bar will serve you, however, has been lowered to 20 shots of alcohol.
The chance of being caught when buying condoms has been lowered to 1 in 10 (I'm getting tired of begging forgiveness). However, I'm only putting 30 condoms in the machine each day, so get them while you can.
Some badly-needed sound and music has been added to the church service. The choir keeps singing while you do an altar call. Unfortunately, aside from a baritone soloist who sings about acts of autoeroticism, we don't have any choir tunes yet. Anyone who wants to volunteer to perform choir music, please step forward! Otherwise, you're gonna get the usual, my silly morphed voices and Casio keyboard.

Wheelchair Boy is ready for you to take advantage of him. The condom machine actually works now. Product will be stocked when maintenance is run.
The minimum offering has been tweaked up a little, so that beginning preachers can move up to bigger churches faster.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintenance is running at the top of every hour.

Evang is open for Alpha testing, while development continues.
