Zap, feel free to keep up the good work...

...but as new hobbies go, isn't this one a bit dull?

Maybe one of the players is on vacation. If the game were actually dead, wouldn't the owning player stop it?

Yes, I stopped the game, but I thought there might be an extra step you needed to take to free up the slot for another game to host. ]

Oh. Sorry about that. No, though sometime in the future there will be. When that time comes, you will be able to perform this step (I call it to "bury a game"), too. It will then free up the port number for reuse. But since more than half the assigned port numbers are still unused, I'm not terrible motivated to do this now.

Excruciatingly tedious, actually.
But free slots are in such high demand, I think it's a job someone has to do.

Obviously not always, since Esben has had to intervene and kill some already.

I've sent an email to the game creator. We will have to see. Thanks for the effort

All_The_Nations is an ancient game, started by myself, which I thought had finished but which has re-appeared on the running list.

All players are anonymous, none are AI (not even me/Ulm, and I know I went AI) and none have taken their turn. The server says the game is at turn 2.
