No, this wouldn't work with the escrow as it is now. It requires the
addresses of all the respondents at the outset, and doesn't release
the replies until it receives a reply from each one.

It *might* be possible to jerry rig something together---maybe send
all of the reply requests to a script, which then forwards them on
to the actual recipients (in order to fish out the reply-tos) and
then have a cron script reply to all outstanding requests at the
appointed time in order to release the escrow. That would work,
I guess, but I think it would be harder to get this to be reliable
than it would be for me to rewrite the escrow agent like I'd been
planning. When exactly I'll get to that is hard to say, though.
I guess I could work on it after I do a release of the dice server.
