[cleacy]

It's started, good luck to all my fellow guinea-pigs. Thanks to Rick for the undoubted hard work, undertaken to get us to this point.

[Maucat]

Rick the game is blocked... why?

[Bwlvych]

It stalled on Palin's turn (in fact Palin hasn't even replied to a message I sent him on the 1st), the school year has just started here so I suspect Rick is tied up with that ... I'm sure he'll be back!
