GSI has just changed access to the "Lost Lists" prior to last week
        you could learn any spells on these lists given possession of an
        appropriate artifact.  Now like the normal spell lists you must learn
        the prerequisites.  This change in their program was learned by
        failing and wasting an order after being sucessfull just one turn
        prior.  I have heard of one other example regarding the size an army
        needs to be to not risk being overrun.

Any game is frustrating when its rules change during play.  This game
        in particular is frustrating because the time effort and yes money
        involved in learning this stuff should at least warrant some sort of
        notifaction regarding changes.

My suggestion to GSI is to freeze all non-fatal programming bugs and
        have a version number associated with each game.

Any comments, other experiances with this or other PBM games?

The above will be sent to GSI.
