Not true Greg; you're twisting things again. I have never seen xconq,
and that's all I stated. I've played a LOT of EMPIRE and EMPIRE DELUXE,
and found that the game is fun for a limited amount of time.

To liven it up, I used to set my unit's ToHit at 28%, and it still
ended up being boring primarily because of the limitations of the AI
in the game.

The reason commercial moderation makes sense for a lot of gamers is
threefold; first, players can count on finding other like-minded
individuals (opponents) to play. Secondly, they can usually count on
the moderator being fair. Lastly, they can count on the moderator to
process the game on a timely basis.

Of course, I'll be the first to admit that the above points can be
found in a free game here on the 'net. It is obviously a matter of
commitment for each moderator. And equally true, there are a lot of
mediocre commercial games and moderators.

In any case; it's obvious to me that you're not gonna be enlightened
by any further discussion on this matter. This will be my last post
on this matter. Live and let live and leave my game system out of
future public discussions.
