I gotta step in and say a few words on this one.

As a veteran player I have experienced almost every aspect of the
GSI MEPBM experience.  I started playing two years ago without
e-mail on a team game (myself plus 3 friends).  I got introduced to
the game as a Dark Servant, met lots of great people, crushed the
Free Peoples by turn 28, and finished in second place by some
skillful nation sales on the last turns.  I averaged about 30-40
dollars per month on phone bills but it was my choice.  During this
same time I played Genie's Multiplayer On-Line Battletech and spent
about $200 per month.   (This game is cheap!! in comparison.)

My second game I played as a Free People.  This game is still going
on (after 2.2 years) but it is drawing near to a conclusion.  This team
game
has worn a few people down. ( A good friend of mine dropped because he
grew weary of his position so far from the front lines.)

My 3rd and 4th games are 2950.  Game 6 is an unbelievable game
with 10 'grudge match' team players.  I have excellent information on
every players turn through e-mail in this game.  The experience is
unbelievable.  My phone bill is only like $10 per month for this game
and virtually all of this if for one player.

Game 4 is a solo entrance game.  I have gotten the e-mail address
of 3 of the other players on my side and many of the other players have
dropped.  This is not the way to play.  Blind games are very
bad, the players are unpredictable and insane.  The level of enjoyment
can be low unless you get good people as allies.  I've had all types
in solo games.  My general attitude is join a team game if possible.
Grudge games are very intense and can be devastating if you are not
prepared.

I'm outta here.
