Grammar for Galaxy G (What do orders look like?  see bottom)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A playerName                     ; Peace (default)
A planetName                   ; disable GUARD/ATTACK status (default)

B groupNum num                 ; Break off a number of ships from a group
B groupNum fleetName           ; Break off groupNum entirely from fleetName

C playerName                     ; Change your player name.

D shipName # # # # #           ; Design a new ship
D FLEET fleetName              ; Make a new fleet

E shipName                     ; Erase a ship type (no ships left)
E fleetName                    ; Disband a fleet

F playerName                     ; Find an email address

G groupNum 0                   ; Upgrade a group of ships. (evenly)
G groupNum [numships]          ; Upgrade a group of ships. (1 at a time)

H groupNum [numships]          ; Reverse direction of group
H fleetName                    ; Reverse direction of entire fleet

I groupNum planetName [numships]   ; Intercept orders for a group
I fleetName planetName             ; Intercept orders for a fleet

J groupNum fleetName [numships]    ; Join a fleet (group)
J fleet1name fleet2name            ; Fleet 1 ceases to exist, joining Fleet 2

K [no] playerName ; defend playerName if attacked
K [no] planetName ; defend owner of planet if attacked
; NOTE: if you own the planet, you will attack anyone who initiates an attack

K yourplayerName ; You will defend against whoever initiates attacks anywhere

The K order is a coalition.  You will defend the player or planet you select if 
that person/planet is aggressively attacked.   You will not defend a player as 
a result of a chain of coalitions. (you must directly want to defend that 
player/planet as stated in your list)  'NO' removes a player/planet.

  - Declaring war on a planet you don't own (non size 0 planet): (ATTACK)
     You will attack the current owner of the planet.  War status will
     be turned off automatically when the _current_ owner is destroyed
     _WHILE YOUR SHIPS ARE AT THAT PLANET_.
  - Declaring war on a planet you own or size 0 planet: (GUARD)
     You will shoot at anyone at that planet.

X groupNum [num]                   ; Scrap old spacecraft -> MAT

Y password                         ; Sets your password

Z new-address                      ; Change your email address
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                               Order Format

To enter orders for Galaxy, you send email with the following inside it:

#GALAXY gameName playerName
...orders...
#END

or if your password is set:

#GALAXY gameName playerName password
...orders...
#END

Examples of correct order lines:

Send 100 "Zzyax Prime"
send 100 zzyax_prime
s 100 "zzyax prime"     ; Attack the Zzyaxian homeworld

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Things to note:

The #GALAXY line should be in the body of the message, not in the subject
line. It is very important to type this line correctly, as otherwise all of
your orders will be discarded. Everything before the #GALAXY line or after
the #END line in the message is ignored by the program.

Whenever a group number is required as a parameter, the keyword MAX may be
used instead.  This will apply to the most recently created group or to the
group with the highest group number.

Keywords used as parameters to orders must be given precisely; unlike order
keywords they cannot be abbreviated (nor expanded). The following keywords
are used: CAP, MAT, COL, EMP, DRIVE, WEAPONS, SHIELDS, CARGO, UNDERSCORES,
NAMECASE, TWOCOL, MAX.


Each type of order is designated by giving a letter or keyword as the first
non-blank character on the line. The program only checks the first letter,
so you can either give a whole word or just the letter. Parameters are
given after this, separated by spaces or tabs. Blank lines are permitted,
as are comments; anything after a semicolon on a line is treated as a
comment and ignored. 

The parser is not case sensitive, so all commands, names etc. may be given
in upper case, lower case or a mixture of the two. However, when supplying
names containing spaces, the name must be surrounded by double quotes, or
else underscore characters must be used in place of spaces in the name.
(These things apply to the #GALAXY and #END lines as well as to order
lines.)

Replacement sets of orders may be sent anytime before the deadline. The
last set of orders received at the time of running the turn is used.

Any player not sending in orders for 6-7 turns in a row is removed from
the game.  Note that no orders between #galaxy and #end) still counts as
sending in orders.
===========================================================================
What do orders look like?  Here are some samples, note that // or ; stands
for a comment.  It's not actually processed by the computer.
