I recall this game as a "door" from a dial-up BBS. I spent part of a summer building my empire and then dialed in one day to find that it had been attacked and destroyed. I was pretty depressed about that so I wrote a note to the sysop (a guy I knew and worked with). My note was about sportsmanship and good will, and how the destruction of my empire did not represent those values. I asked the sysop to please pass on the note to the other player. The terse response that I got back from the sysop was; "Your message was properly addressed."
