As long as the politics exist it doesn't matter whether they are in the game
or done privately between the players.  Well it doesn't matter to me anyway,
there is no way complexities of real relationships between players could be
included in the game anyway.

I am looking at the Atlantis game at http://www.talweb.com/rondor/index.html
at the moment as it claims to have ~200 players.
