I signed up to participate in the external playtest - I made all of one turn
in the playtest, and then they cut the playtest off, due to schedule
pressures. I then got the startup for the real thing, plus all the final
documentation (playtest had been proceding with a draft rulebook and map).
The map and rules look good, but after submitting my first turn, I waited
and waited. I heard (around september sometime) from claemor that they had
terminated the contractor that was doing their programming (for not being
responsive enough) and were finding a new one. As I remember, that letter
said they would have the next turn done by now.

Overall, I think they have a good game, but they aren't done yet, and it
seems as though their overall operations need help. I also note that the aol
address only seems to get answered on weekends, if at all.

Also, since I haven't played more than one turn of the game, it is somewhat
hard to tell if it'll be good long-term or not.
