Hei,

as the GM, I'm sorry to hear about that. Our database says you actually had
3 factions in the tutorial game, all of them dead after one or two turns. I
never got an email about your problems (which might be a problem with our
volunteer support folks not forwarding them, I'll check), but if you'd
written to me directly, I'd probably have been able to figure out what's up.
If you do want to try again, let me know, and I'll make sure stuff goes
right this time :-)

There may be other stories like that. And some GMs are truly too busy to
help out, but I thought we'd be doing a much better than average job in
getting new players to understand the game and help them across the entry
barriers. :-(

Enno.
