OK, I got bombarded with 2 pieces of email so I'm going to do it. What
can I say, I'm easy.

First off I'm only interested in _computer_moderated_ pbEm games that
are ongoing and are taking new players. As far as I know that
restricts things to: Diplomacy, Galaxy, Celestial Empires, Olympia,
and the upcoming TicTactics game.

I'll be contacting the people in charge of these things to get
contact addresses and ftp sites for rules (I know these for Diplomacy
and Olympia...)

Things I need from YOU:

o  info on games not on my list, but that qualify.
   o  info on sending email to funky networks. I know how to send
      to CompuServe and Fidonet. America Online I dunno about.
      GEnie isn't connected yet, right? mcimail, attmail are easy.
   o  co-editors to repost the magazine on other networks, i.e.
      the correct CompuServe SIG.
   o  an FTP/mail server site to store back issues.
   o  articles about games: strategy, reviews, etc. Oleg the
      Loudmouth will be writing a short "Olympia Update" every issue,
      for example. Other games that run with multiple instances
      still could use strategy articles or game summaries.
   o  a name for the mag.
