Looking for players

I'm looking for a few players for a game called Mega Hyper
Galactic Conquest.

MHGC is your typical expand / grow / kill everyone else space
conquest game.  The name is derived from an old game I wrote
and ran at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI or the
'tute) and HyperEconomic Diplomacy (a.k.a. GeoDiplomacy or
Geodip).  I was playing Geodip at the time I became motivated
enough to ruin my life with this incredible time sink.  The
game is at best vaguely related to either of these preceding
games, so don't base any strategies on the name selection.

In the game, players attempt to balance expansion, capital
investment, technology investment, and military conquest in
order to be crowned "Grand Poohba of the Universe."

MHGC runs over Email, and includes ASCII turn results and a
ASCII based map.  Sooner or later, there will be a PC front
end, but it may be way later, so don't hold your breath.

This is a serious strategic wargame, and you can expect two
to three hours a turn once a week near the end game (games
tend to last a year to a year and a half).  It has been
extensively playtested.

You can get a more detailed look at the rules at my homepage:
