Re: [Audyssey] web accessability issues
Can you all please change the subject line on this since the recent messages are about a game and not web accessibility?

Re: [Audyssey] web accessability issues
Hi Orin That's a great question I've no idea but if it's still around it shouldn't be hard to find. I'll take a look and if I find anything will let you know. Or if you find it first then I'd be interested.

Quite interested...

Until they know we're out there and want to play they might not consider accesibility issues. I was playing an online game called starbase challenge. The webmaster and I swapped some emails and after ironing out a few things he had no trouble making the necessary changes to the game. I'm happy to say also he was more then willing to enable me to play the game on an equal level with sighted players.

I have played neopets and most of it is inaccessable. It seems there isn't a ton of games on the net which are accessable to blind and sighted players alike. I truly wish there were more. I wish there was a website where one can raise play or battle with pets. When I was sighted I had a petz 3 game which helped me take care of a cat or dog and I could breed them and play with them. I am fairly sure that isn't adaptable but some of these online sites surely could be. HAving an accessable site like neopets might get a large following. Apparently it's popular with people of all ages from all over the world. So why is there no room for the visually impaired in the community? If I knew the coding I'd make a site to adress this gap in playability. Seems a lot of websites are thusly. Myspace, an online community website, is similarily inaccessible. Even agter e-mailing them with suggestions I never heard anything back. We as a community should take action, like with the monopoly.com site, and demand equal access. This affects all of us and we should not stand by and take it. Sorry, that's the advocate in me *grins* but I had to write about this for the issue is important to me. Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] web accessability issues
Hi, Also keep in mind it is not what you ask, but how you ask it. If you email a web master or a customer service department agent be respectful and don't come out pitching a fit. I just emailed Hazbro on obtaining accessible documentation for their board games, special versions, and I attempted to be as nice about as I could be. Being diplomatic is the only way to get anywhere with these guys. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] web accessability issues
Can you tell me about that star base game you mentioned? And I will write neopets. There's a lot of businesses that don't even consider the blind 'cause this is a sight driven world. I can't tell you how many times I hear, YOu use the computer? Or Wow that's sooo amazing! etc. *smiles* Chrissie ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] web accessability issues
Hi Tom Indeed that is true. you wouldn't want to rant and rave at them, rather politely ask if they've ever thought about accessibility with the site. Honey gets more then vinegar.

Re: [Audyssey] web accessability issues
Hi Chrissie Basically you operated a base, had the ability to build ships, and beat the other bases around you and conquer them for your alliance. *note* it's been quite awhile since I've played it and there could be a ton more to the game now. These are what I remember.

Re: [Audyssey] web accessability issues
If you're still in need by the time I ascend again, I do have about 120 meat in storage. Be nice, and I might help you out. I know it's not much in the grand skeme of KOL, but it sounds like more than you may have at the moment. So I'd be glad to help... if I can. - Original Message - From: Cary [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2006 3:17 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] web accessability issues umm yeah.
