"You are schizophrenic."  This message means that you are running Empire
in the background.  Thus, if you write a shell script

Empire "country name" password >/dev/null <<_empire_
map #1 >map
census #1 >census
commodity #1 >commodity
quit
_empire_

and run it in the background, you'll get this message if you try to log
in while the script is running.

Unfortunately, it can also happen that you get tossed out of Empire without
doing a quit or ^D (e.g., your terminal hangs up).  When this happens, you
should wait (sometimes as long as an hour), and eventually Empire will 
realize that you're not playing.  What's more, it usually won't even reduce
your login time when this happens.
