Not only has Derek Ray created a fully-fledged

to play it on, but he also:

1. Mostly non-buggy. But I try to fix them quickly.
2. "functional" in the strict definition of the word; compared to NAO, i
have a long way to go yet (top-ten lists, player stats, etc). But you
can, in fact, play on it.

Thank you, Derek.

No, thank all of _you_ who are playing it. I can write patches and set
things up and run in circles until the cows come home, and if nobody
bothers to play it, all it does is sit there and gather dust. I'd
rather thank everyone who's been brave enough to lean in and really give
the game a try... even knowing that the server may break save compat or
there may be stylish stethoscope-and-egg bugs waiting around the next
corner. With no players, it doesn't matter what I do. :)
