To all interested gamers,

I will  soon be  starting up  a new  PBM game,  "Departmental  Empire
    Builder". In it, each player runs a department of his country, allocating
    resources, making deals, building things,  and running "turf wars" (guard
    missions) to build the best department. Three departments make up a coun-
    try.  Thus individual and team  victories  are possible.  Prizes  will be
    awarded at the end of the game to the best departments in various areas.

There have been two test games run already,  so most of the bugs have
    been worked out.  It is mostly computer-moderated  to ensure fairness and
    consistency.  The Game Master (GM) watches over the game, writes news re-
    ports, and runs a special "bad guy" country.

There are some initial fees that must be paid  before turn 1  will be
    processed. After that, there are no more fees. They are:

Manual:          $2.00 (copying costs)
        Administration:  $0.00 (first live game)
        Prize:           $3.00 (contribution to prize "pot" to be awarded
                                at the end)

All applicants  must notify me by  08/21/90.  The first turn  will be
    mailed out  no later than  08/31/90.  Turns will  be due  every 3  weeks,
    unless the  players have  problems with that.  The game length  will be 9
    turns, with turn 9 being informational only.

If you are interested,  please contact me before  the entry deadline.
    If needed,  I can mail you a manual to help you decide.  If practical, it
    is best to form your own team of 3 players before you apply, since you'll
    do most of your dealing with them.  If this is  not practical,  you'll be
    assigned  a department and country,  though I will try to work in prefer-
    ences.
