Lots.  With 20+ Players in a game you get creamed unless you make
contacts.

Don't know.  I've never gotten far enough to really get into the
diplomacy part of the game.

Not that I know of.

I think so.

Don't know.

Yes, if you are signed up for an FBI Illuminati game they send you a
newsletter.

'Tis computer moderated.  I've never seen an error in my turn report
or had any problems dealing with the people at FBI.

Emailing your orders to FBI makes life real nice.

Eagerly awaiting the all-email Illuminati game...
