Silver,
I don't know if this was covered already...it may be buried in one of the other 
posts...

I know you are planning on distributing the files to a neutral party just prior 
to the game opening.  However, have you considered just posting the files out 
there somewhere the day AFTER the game opens?  

By then most of the vets will have figured out all the changes anyway.  It 
gives the newer players a chance to look for things they might have missed.  It 
allows everyone who's interested a chance to test ideas and strategies.  It 
protects you from critics who shout "T-EDITING CHEATER SYSOP!!" the second some 
smart corp. does something they can't figure out.  It allows people like me who 
don't play in tournaments an opportunity to see if I can figure out the "hidden 
winner strategy" before those who are playing do. :-)

Anyway, look at the bright side...at least they aren't bitching about the 
server rules at the moment... :P

Good Luck Silver!
