Hey there,
Quitch already answered most of the questions, but here's a little more info:

a) At the end of a turn all enemy units are dead. (might be wrong here)

Well, you're very close. You win immediately when all enemy units are dead. =)

You can surrender on your turn at any time.

Not only can you surrender, but we encourage you to if you feel a loss is imminent. We actually made specific design decisions to 'trim the fat off' of the game, meaning we didn't want the end game to last pointlessly long. But even still, the player can usually tell they've lost before our rules determine it, and they can do a favor to both players by conceding when they're sure they've hit that point.

Does it work over 56k? More specifically does it work over AOL(SE4G, and Alpha Centauri seem to vomit when I try to launch TCP/IP Games)?

It should work just fine. I haven't had any reports of that scenario not working, and our data packets are very very small and infrequent. You should be able to support thousands (at least) of simultanious LOL games on a single modem connection. I also don't see why AOL would matter, unless they take active steps to block connections, which wouldn't have anything to do with our service.

How big a community do you have so far? Like how many are browsing for games between 9pm-6am central(texas time).
|
Like Quitch said, the community has been fairly quiet, but is starting to grow. We just got some nice reviews in PC Gamer and Computer Games Magazine, and those are helping to bring in some new customers. Our new v1.20 patch and planned new online playable demo should help bring new players to the lobby and make it a bit easier to find opponents.
What can help even more is for you to recommend LOL to your friends who might be interested in playing LOL online. The more people that have LOL and play online, the better off everyone is. And feel free to tell them to check out our upcoming demo offering restricted but free online play.

Also I don't suppose anyone knows if the gamersfront store is having a sale or coupon anytime soon?

Shrapnel handles that stuff, not me, but I haven't heard anything about it, so I don't think there's anything on the horizon.
If you haven't checked out the existing free demo, I encourage you to do so. Hard to beat the price. =)
I hope that helps...
