Not a bad weekend at mangband.org

Well, it wasn't a bad weekend at all for the mangband.org server. I'm super jetlagged and so not sleeping much, which allowed me to notice that 24 hours a day, nearly, there was anywhere from 3-8 players on throughout. Awesome!

As well, I noticed a few new faces of the "I play Angband, and was curious if this MAngband thing really existed" sort - enough to make me wonder if the Ironman announcements on usenet have actually had the secondary effect of promoting Mangband in general - perhaps something we should take note of.

Alrighty, time to work on getting my haste fail rate down ;)

Promoting MAngband in general is the primary aim of the Ironman Competition not the secondary. :D

The Windows server release, the Ironman server and the Ironman Competition are all just so much noise to try and bring attention back to MAngband.  A recently much neglected variant.
