Yes it will be a US game hosted by GSI.  The turns are sent out in PDF format
which is readable by Adobe Acrobat Reader.  You can download this program
directly from Adobe and I believe they have just released an "Amber" version of
the reader which functions as a plug-in to Netscape 2.03 beta and later.  I
don't know if Allsorts is offering the same service or not.  Looking at their
Web Site at http://www.ftech.net/~pbmweb/allsorts/me/  they still say that they
will offer this service shortly.  Who knows whether this is a current document
or not.  Unless there's some kind of copyright agreement which says that
Allsorts gets all citizens of GB and GSI citizens of the US, I don't see why
there should be any reason you wouldn't be able to participate in the game.
You'd probally be well advised to either maintain a well stocked account with
GSI or use a credit card though to ensure you're funds don't dwendle to 0 while
GSI waits for sea-faring snails to deliver your mail.  We'd be glad to have you
if you don't have problems with the 1 week turnaround.  Perhaps if you sent a
note to gsi@elink.net they'd be able to answer your questions with more
authority.

If you dicide you'd like to join our team of DS (5 positions open as I write
this) drop me some email at timwolf@shapeshifter.com with a list of the
positions you'd perfer to play.  You should cc this mail to globalgm@aol.com as
since he is the person who will be submitting the team to GSI.

One last thing, recieving the pdf files for you email turns works best when you
have a mime compliant email reader.  If you have further questions drop me a
line.
