I'm sorry....but are you sure you're playing a Galaxy game?  Sounds like you
just sent in a request to put your name in the hat for a game, then set up a
mailer daemon to run this program, which apparently does all your moves for you.

Myself, I perfer to play against other people if they're listed as actual
people, not some computer program masquerading as such.

Oh, to those with flames, I have no objection to parsers and such to break down
the output to something you like better, I myself have one for hypercard to
produce star maps.  It's when you start designing AI's that you're losing the
spirit of the game.

IMHO, of course... :)
