Hi!

Want to have all your TRN submissions and settings changes be processed
instantly? Join the Arena ][, its webbased interface provides precisely
that!

http://arena.game-server.cc/

To celebrate this public announcement, there's two games waiting for you:
Oldtimer, a game modeled after the original-arena games (for those that
remember it; phost, rich universe, otherwise vanilla)
http://arena.game-server.cc/game.srb?game=5
Gingerbreadman, with a rather special starmap, otherwise vanilla (tim
host) http://arena.game-server.cc/game.srb?game=6
both games start with 3 turns a week and switch to 2 after the shiplimit.

Furthermore, Birds and Rebels are available in the game called efnet2,
featuring players from the #vgaplanets IRC-channel on efnet. Entirely
vanilla, host runs once a week. Introduce yourself in the channel if you
wish to join, please.

Happy playing!
Kero.

NB: the ssl connection uses a certificate from cacert.org which is
unlikely to be in your browser, as of yet. The certificate is free of
charge however, which saves quite some money. Either accept (and trust)
my certificate, or better, download (and trust) the cacert.org root
certificate.

-------------

The scripts are newly developed by me, in Ruby. A lot of effort has
gone into security of the scripts and a (separate) backup facility is
also setup. Your data (password) and games should be rather safe.

The scripts are not finished at all, and the occasional bug will plague
us. New features will show up over time. The scripts are available for
others, though quite rough to fit in elsewhere right now.

I was on #vgaplanets on IRC 10 years ago, will anyone remember me?

Nevermind... I stubbled around inside and found it. You need to fix that.

The channel is alive, contrary to a few years ago.
Some new people joined, some old people came back.

Everyone is welcome :)

Note the IRC thingy only holds for the efnet2 game, not the other games.

It should have said "Register" at the left of the navigation bars near
the top and at the end of the pages... (may not say this after login;
cookie based)

....but Murphy came along and wrecked the Compact Flash of my small
server. Pending some ISP ickiness, I'll let my big, powerhungry PC
take over. Might take a few days.

Bye,
Kero.
