1. I've uploaded a new Version. It's mostly adminstrative changes, but I did include the option to "deconfess" to playing a nation. Note that the administrative bit was introduction of player group accesses, so it's quite possible it will go horrible wrong.
2. I can't find any user name gdice on the system

Could you please just re-register that login?
3. Stale-player detection is definitely on my todo list. It just needs a bit of infrastructure, of which the Confess bit represent the first bit.
4. How would you all feel if players could see one anothers details, like jabber id, email address, experience and so on? Only logged in players could do this, of course.
5. It would definitely be a bug if moving for one nation remove all nations in a game from the welcome points-of-interest table. If anyone sees this again, could you double-check by "view/manage" the game and checking the dreaded yes/no table for game nations? Check for inconsistencies with the point-of-interest table. Thanks.

So you have at worst three stale players. You could send them an ingame message and ask them to identify themselves or be killed.
