I'm looking for a small number of players for an alpha test of Olympia II.

Olympia II is not completed yet, but I want to get a few people in
to see if it works, and to help maintain my motivation.

This test will run as quickly as one turn/day, with orders due daily at
6:00pm eastern U.S. time.  I expect it to last a month or two, at which
point it will be shut down, a new map will be generated, and a beta test
will be started from scratch.  The beta test will have more players and
a standard one turn/week turnaround.

No Olympia Times will be published for the alpha test.

Not everyone who would be in the beta test is right for the alpha test.
Here is what I need from potential alpha-players:

o  You must read all the rules and send back comments and edits.

o  You must be able to get orders in daily, by 6pm EDT.

o  You must not become so attached to your alpha test faction
       that you will be upset when the game abruptly ends.

o  I'm mostly in need of fresh faces, i.e. players who didn't
       participate in Olympia I.

o  You must play with the primary goal of testing the game.

Thanks!
