        I have one!  No one is allowed to have anything important to do 
outside of playing this game. :)

        I suspect we'll have sporadic slow downs where someone just gets 
really busy and things drag.  Then we'll have faster times when things 
don't.  I'll be out of town the rest of this week, but am likely to have 
good internet access so I hope to be able to hop in with political orders 
if things settle down for Joel and Jason and they get time to figure out 
where to spend their EinA bucks.
        In other news, there looks to be a potential computer game coming 
out sometime end of this year, they said they wanted to make it for 
Christmas, based on EinA.  I talked to the lead programmer on it and they 
are into the debugging of the AI and sprucing up the graphics.  What they 
had running as a work in progress already had a nice looking map and decent 
unit graphics, so it should look pretty nice spruced up.  The combat is 
supposed to give a little more tactical control than EinA but I didn't get 
a chance to see it.  It sounds like they're making it with an eye to 
multiplayer games via email so I'm guessing they'll only make an okay AI at 
best.  I have the guys business card someplace so I can give a site to 
people when I get back and have time to figure out which bag I stuck it in.
