I'm actually quite ambivalent about whether the change is a good thing or not, especially because with the sudden availability of power graphs means some players might be in a much poorer position than currently through no fault of their own.

Do you know who actually started the game, if it wasn't you or Speaker? That's when the admin password gets set.
Sure Mist, I'll forward a save to you.
Does anyone besides Krill object to fixing the mod, if possible?

I'm fine with fixing it. But if it's not tweaked by some time Thursday, I'm going to play the turn and get the game going again. We've let this game stall long enough.

Sure, go ahead. If the fix works, it can be done at any time. I just want to see if it works first, which can be done with the save you sent. If it does (if we ever find the admin password), we can do it for real with a current save. (I'd prefer one from Kylearan so I can continue to dedicated-lurk him without spoilers.)

Oh, I started the game, I just can't remember what the admin password was. I know I saved the password to a document, but in hindsight I realise forgetting to back up that file and then reinstalling windows wasn't the greatest of moves. Buty as Mist is a lurker, I'm happy with him finding out what the admin password is (for the obviuosreasons), so I'll send him a save to crack.

Fix or no fix, I'm fine either way. I'd just like to get the game moving faster again.

I'd object but I don't want to tip people off that I have no military.

Keep playing now, don't wait up on a fix. We might not even get the admin password in the first place. Mist replied to me that the dictionary attack didn't work, so he's trying a brute force run, but that won't work if the password is long and complex enough. Krill, if you can provide Mist any hints towards brute forcing (any characters that you know you use or don't use in passwords), it could help.
