I played some GSI games (Dawn of the Ancients, Earthwood,
State of War) but quit after a couple of years once I found PBEM
games on the net (Diplomacy, then MUD's, then GB, then Soccer).
GSI isn't run too professionally, but it isn't awful considering
that they have to rely on snail-mail.

I will point out that this comment reflects ignorance.
The original poster mentioned that this is a "grudge" game.  That
means two or more TEAMS of players are SUPPOSED to work together
against other teams.  Hardly cheating, his actions are quite
understandable and even expected.

Your comment, on the other hand, looks like a troll.

Personally, I'm waiting for GSI to go out of business so
I can write my own code to run a free PBEM version of State of War
without getting in trouble.

No, don't send me email asking to get in.  :)
