I am alive! I am taking part in this game because of the slow-schedule. Any quicker schedule will most likely require me to abandon the game...
I think I once suffered a single stale due to connectivity problems to Mosehansens Server, which did not reoccur since the server was restarted. Maybe some others did not notice the server restart...
Whatever is agreed upon, I must point out that not every participating player might still read this thread on a regular basis. So better send an in-game message to everyone before turning someone to AI!!!
