Hello all, Seeking one additional player to join a two day phase (1 day for retreats/builds) classic game (non-anonymous).

Thank you for retaining the old interface too. Much appreciated

In my experience, yes. I returned to this site after a nearly ~ 10 years absence and it was much less active than before.

Whether it's a site-specific thing with Backstabbr etc. rising in popularity, or whether it's a demographic change in older players not being replaced, I'm not sure.

As somebody who took a decade-long hiatus from the site before returning earlier this year, I can definitely attest to a fall in activity over that period.

Though I am sure there were plenty of peaks and troughs over the intervening period!

Hi folks, England has dropped out of this game. Really grateful for a new joiner: joining instructions above.

A player (Germany) has dropped out of this game.

See joining instructions (password) above. Hope you can join.

Guess: David Starkey

Fictional?

Really good one Damo. My only tiny quibble would be - could he be considered a religious figure? Genuine question

Is it Guy Fawkes?

Fantastic guess, got to be him. Good job

Kicking myself now!

Brainstorm: other than Blackbeard I also considered Alexander Selkirk but given both are sailors rather than soldiers I’m not confident in them. I am struggling to think of a solider, involved in politics but not a politician.

Think this could be one where I kick myself.
