: Perhaps the reason why you are not getting the large response is because people do not have an infinite amount of money to spend playing empire via phone. However, if you could get an IMP and connect yourself to the ARPAnet, I can practically guarantee you a much larger number of players. In fact, at berkeley they had an empire game over the summer which featured people such as Admiral Dave "Horatio Nelson" Riggle (creator of sail) coming in from Xerox Parc, and myself from UC San Diego. Bottom line is that 1-2 hours a day across the country is not a very good way to get "good" players, just a way to get rich players (or those with wats lines).
