I made a browser based strategy game that takes place over weeks. Instead of checking Facebook 3 times a day, I log into Neptune's Pride 3 times a day to chat with the other players and try and conquer the galaxy.
Woah! I love Neptune’s Pride, thanks for the game!

While in college, I stayed at a hacker house airbnb over the summer with a bunch of newly befriended tech friends, and I got us all playing. I have fond memories of changing the trajectories of my ships as soon as people went to bed, double-crossing alliances. Good times.

hah, thanks for the game. It was definitely an interesting and fun experience.

Unfortunately I've to stop because my obssesive side took over. I practically check the game every hour. I cant sleep because my mind wont stop worrying about chat/trade offers, sudden attack and which planet/tech I need to focus on.

It always popped out in my mind once in a while though. I might try it again to see if I've better control of myself.
