Just to keep everyone up to date on the speedgame situation:

The speedgame (#3) is still running at 1 minute ticks and is about to be given a second 'havoc' donation of resources.

It will be reset tomorrow morning at 7:00 GMT, and restarted at 9:00 GMT. There will be at least one more speedgame after this before the official end in approximately a week's time.

Feel free to join in at any time - new signups get signup bonuses equivalent to havoc donations. Signups are, as always, at http://speedgame.planetarion.com/signup.pl. Please note that after tick 36 in-game and after tick 100 when signing up, you can't join a private galaxy.
