I've started WarsOfGaia. I didn't realize so many had joined on that little map

This should be interesting...
I have read, and not forgotten, your comments regarding the pros and cons of the server. I still see no obvious advantage of a PBM hosting service against a TCP/IP-server, except as I've listed above (or rather below in this backwards forum

) I will mull this over, and maybe do something about the things I can.
Now there's 3 more or less real games on the server. That's fine by me, and justification enough for me

It's not as though it is under any heavy load.
And yes, I think a gentleman agreement that the creator starts the game would be good, until such time that illwinter fixes the --uploadtime parameter. I will write this on the webpage at the next update.
Have fun!
