Up to 9 players. Where IS everyone? There is no reason it should take more than 2 days just for people to upload their pretenders, especially since there was so much time available to design them while the team strategies and such were established, and the starting positions picked.
Because I have need of my computer for other purposes, this game (only) will suffer a hosting outage at some indeterminate point tonight, remaining until some indeterminate point tomorrow. Sorry I can't be more precise than this, but it will probably be about 12 hours, and will start around 1:30 AM Eastern time. Once the game gets going I'll move it onto my main server computer and such outages will no longer be a possibility. Of course, different outages might still happen
Other games I am hosting will not be affected by this.
Anyone that wants to upload their pretender while the server is down should send me a PM and attach it there.
