The game has just been relaunched with a "new" moderator.  The "old" moderator
was known for very poor service before he abandoned the game with no word to
anyone for 12 months.  He apparantly had a good reason for about half that time.
The distinction of "new" vs "old" moderator is nil in my opinion - same
address, phone number, etc, and the old moderator is still around.  The
only thing they appear to be doing right is honoring old account balances.

In my opinion, $7 is way too much for a PBEM game.  I would also consider
waiting 6+ months to see what happens before I invested my money.
