- I'm sorry....but are you sure you're playing a Galaxy game? Sounds like you
- just sent in a request to put your name in the hat for a game, then set up a
- mailer daemon to run this program, which apparently does all your moves for you.
-
- Myself, I perfer to play against other people if they're listed as actual
- people, not some computer program masquerading as such.
-
- Oh, to those with flames, I have no objection to parsers and such to break down
- the output to something you like better, I myself have one for hypercard to
- produce star maps. It's when you start designing AI's that you're losing the
- spirit of the game.
-
- IMHO, of course... :)
