To get a copy of Empire do the following: 1) Write 1,000 times on a large piece of paper: "It's just a game and I promise not to take it too seriously" 2) Write 2,000 times on an even larger piece of paper: "In any case I won't blame Peter when a bug turns my capital into a weather station just when I'm about to launch a massive counter-attack against my ex-best-friend." 3) Have one copy of (2) notarized and send it with a Stamped, Self-Addressed Tape to: Peter Langston Davis Polk & Wardwell 1 Chase Manhattan Plaza NYC, NY 10005 Mention preferences as to: tape density (800/1600), format (tar/tp), machine type (pdp11 or 4.1BSD VAX). 4) Wait (but keep breathing).

Of course this doesn't prevent the deity from cheating, but at least the systems people could play without everyone getting nervous. Also, any chance of getting a copy, either executable, source, or even just documentation (i.e. rulebook)? From the naive keyboard of ..!uokvax!rigney
