We generally play 2 games of Empire a year.  One in the winter, and
one in the summer.  There are between 12 and 24 people (countries)
playing.  What I'd like to know is how long an average game of
Empire lasts?  (Given dt=30 minutes, mmpd=60 minutes x=128 y=128
	Number Countries = 20)

Send me uucp mail stating how long it takes your facility to
complete a game of empire.  A game is considered complete when
there is one person who is obviously the victor.
(Or, if two countries cooperate, when the team has risen to the point
where they can not be taken over)

I will post the results of this survey to net.games.emp.
Please do not send results based on
'blitz' games of empire. (DT=30 seconds, these do not count)
