Hmm..:) It was comparatively slow -- it started with 3 turns per week and
continued with 2 TPW since approximately turn 35, with several pauses.
The game lasted 94 turns, not really as long as one could expect.
There was an alliance victory, so it's not 330 to 1 :) though it was
still a lot of fun (personally I prefer games where alliance victories
are allowed).

It is not a private game -- actually the Moscow server is, I believe, one of
the largest fuly automated Galaxy servers out there -- a _zipped_ list of
names of races that played there is about 90K long :) and it has hosted about
150 games now (don't know exactly). It is not well known here since it is not
much advertised out of the former soviet union (and galaxy is not that much
popular out of it, too :( ) --- SY, Andrew
