I don't think I was completely clear on it.  We did effectively do a step 
by step escrowe.  We didn't record all phases and then reveal all, we did 
each step, but each step was completed in unison.  So, you knew the results 
of the previous steps but not what anyone else did in the current 
step.  Since we also ran time limits on diplomacy, I think that should not 
be a problem in our current game as people have time to talk.
