Admins.
I've update the admin vars of all the games and thus wiped all the settings in them too. Please check your vars.
Please note that the <*> symbol means that the variable is there but hasn't been utilized yet.
When they are utilized that symbol will still be there.

Planets can no longer be invincible. This has big implications to advanced games.

Admins can now force retire players.

Admins. I need you to email me or send feedback on the Original game with admin vars that you would like added.
Check out the bottom of the hosting notes above to see what I'm talkin about.

I've taken over the Original game and wiped it. Working on admin vars.
Please send me critical security holes.

We're back up early and I've chosen a player to admin the original game.
I'm going to be gone for a few days and when I return I am still going to be
focused on stabizing CoolText.com so my efforts won't be available a bit still.
Admins please take care of your games. I hope that everyone has a good time here.

I've reset the original game and am looking for someone to admin for it.
I've killed the Sudden Death game. Sorry for anyone who was getting into it.
From now on I'm only admining the test game, which isn't for real playing.
My time is now streched between CoolText.com and SE so I don't have time to admin every day.
By handing it off to someone everyone will have a better time.
I've taken a couple of requests for the games by hand, but havn't fully automated a request page for hosted games.
I'm waiting a little while longer until things are hammered down a little more before taking everyones request.
All games are subject to being wiped by me for any reason.

As some of you have noticed, I've gotten the game automation pretty much running smoothly.
Which means that I am taking requests for people who would like to run their own games.
My main requirement is that you operate a decent web site so that you can host the game on your site, which will pretty much consist of having the login and signup forms on your site.
I hope everyone is having a good time and enjoying the holidays.
PS Fixed a bug so that you can't put html codes in login names, clan names, or ship names.

The meeting below went very well. There are some notes available here.
I appologize for not keeping the game up. I've killed the sudden death game and wiped the current game.
The reason I didn't preserve the old game is so that I can make some changes to the database design.

I am holding a development IRC meeting on Sunday December 5th (The date is correct this time ;) at 8pm MST on cooltext.com port 6667 in channel #cooltext or #solarempire. All beta testers are invited.
The main agenda will be discussing lots of economic issues, such as:
weather ports will have dynamics sell and buy costs, and work out some equasions.
mining rates for the ships. Set a rate for each ship and perhaps an equasion.
planet eco. lots of fleshing out to do there. Not sure the population/tax kinda work is gonna fly.
rates at which planets generate electronics and organics.
building fighters on planets. Decide on requirements, equasion and such.
Feature requests will be noted, but not heavily discussed by me.
Newbie help and clan rivalry should be set aside for this meeting.
11-30-99
I've returned from my vacation. I am currently in feature frezze and am cleaning things up before I move on to hosted games.
All new feature requests that aren't bug fixes are put on a future feature list and will remain there for a month probably.
The old original game has been moved to Sudden Death. Sudden Death rules apply.
A new game has started as the original game. You will need to create a new account for it.
You'll probably need to clear your browser caches to get current starmaps.
