				 Re: The Artifact Game Begins! 
 I'm with Arch : in a normal game it's bad enough when someone goes AI and gives a player or two a huge bonus, but in a game that gives away artifacts???  Personally - I'm inclined to quit if it isn't reset.  Say 4 nations neighbor theknown bonus nation of Tien Chi : those 4 nations are the ones that have a chance to get the extra artifacts, no one else can.  And they'll know : TC dropped out, with a couple of the top items in the game, anyone neighboring them rushes for them, and ....  *shrug*
 Much as I love the idea of this game - if it isn't restarted, I'll go AI before the Tien Chi lottery unfolds.
