December, 2009: the new campaign "quartz" has started. It will be updated once per week (Monday evenings UTC) for the first few weeks, and then twice per week (Mondays and Thursdays). There's still room for more players; sign up the usual way by sending an email to the game server with a subject line of "APPLY FOR CAMPAIGN quartz".
Although it may vary between campaigns, the usual orders deadline is 18:00 GMT on Mondays and Thursdays. Commands should be sent to <starcluster@lysator.liu.se>, and start with:
orders for campaign NAME_OF_THE_CAMPAIGN
player YOUR_PLAYER_NUMBER
To apply for joining a campaign, send email to the server with a subject line of "APPLY FOR CAMPAIGN name" (where name is the name of the campaign).
An experimental web interface for the game is available on http://sellafield.lysator.liu.se:5757/status.cgi.
