Good. For reference, could you tell which packages you installed to get it running?

Remember to use the "screen" software to make your life easier. It's very easy to use, you only need to know two commands ("screen" for the first time, "screen -r" to resume) and three hotkeys ("ctrl+a c" to create a new session, "ctrl+a space" to switch through sessions, "ctrl+a d" to detach) to control your games with it.

btw.. i seem to remember reading someone have made a web app to show who has taken their turns on the server. can anyone point me towards it?

I guess you mean my PHP script. Haven't updated it since some time, feel free to comment in case the FAQ is incomprehensible or misleading. I should add some more features, but so far people only rarely seem to use them anyway. Nobody ever uses a different style for example, not necessarily a bad thing.
