Some notes from a beginner after his first game (warning: contains whining
which may be considered offensive; parental guidance suggested):

o	routes should be able to fork.
o	why do commands like 'route' take up BTU's?
o	it is undestandable that some commands are unusable without money;
	However, messages like 'enlist is not a valid command' are worse than
	useless (I tried a dozen different spellings/capitalizations/synonyms
	before someone told me what was wrong).
o	If not now the case, ALL actions of the Deity should be detailed in
	the news.
o	There should be a means to create a world where the Deity has only the
	powers of initial creation and final destruction; I envy any site
	where scruples are so high that tampering is not a concern (I trust I
	do not need to enumerate the circumstances which prompted this).
o	It seems unlikely that nations on the verge of nuclear power have no
	idea of the shape of the continents. A map of the world should be
	available. Besides being extremely useful, this would somewhat offset
	the 'world view' of the player who is also the Deity.

Peace and Tranquility to your nation	-	Rich
