Your comments are right wnough, if you live in the UK, or a
similiar country that pays per minute of telephone usage.  Here in
Canada (and the US) we do not pay be minute of use, for either our
phone lines, nor our internet connections.
	Understanding that an email interface game might require the
GM to hand moderate the game, as opposed to the online, web-based
format of this game, I think its a wise choice.  (mind you maybe
you're speaking of a computer moderated email gaming system?)

I think the game is certainly worth a look at...  even if
business style games are not your area of interest...
