Sorry I missed this event, I hope it went well for everyone.

I've been playing TMW for a few months, 2 observations.

1] I had quite a bit of trouble getting the idea of the game interface and it's methods. Probably just me.....

2] As of 3 or 4 days ago when I looked for TMW, the Ubuntu repo for UNR v9.04 has an older TMW client. Firstly, lotsa new stuff in the game requires the version of client just after our repo version. Also, the repo version as of that day is 2 releases behind their current client version (current version 29.1 was released 3 months ago), and finally, TMW developers dropped support for the version before our repo version.

In other words, we might soon have an obsolete client in our repo. Nudge, nudge.
