Implemented interesting speed up in browsing player pages. Display countdown (in weeks, approx) to end of age at the bottom of the main page; switch to detailed red message countdown when less than 2 weeks away from the end of the age.

27, Jun 2006 [Beta Game]: Added voting site in the game. Fixed missing image for Rhetorics and other technologies (Thanks sixty-nine!).

26, Jun 2006 [Beta Game]: Changed default number of turns from 8 to 1 (Thanks Tybs!).

19, Jun 2006 [Beta Game]: Display the guild name near the player name at the top of the screen. Display your guild name instead of 'My Guild' in menu (Thanks Routhledge!). In guild page, renamed 'View' to 'Info'.

18, Jun 2006 [Beta Game]: Fixed limit of 32 support points that wasn't enforced properly (Thanks Routhledge!).

14, Jun 2006 [Beta Game]: Let the leader of a guild change the automated messages sent to players when requests are accepted and rejected, and when they are kicked out of the guild. Let assistants kick players out of the guild, but not other assistants or the leader! Updated Italian translations. Fixed guildbox preference message (Thanks Routhledge!). Keep logs of all players being accepted/rejected from the guild, and leaving or being kicked out of the guild. Delete the logs after 3 days. Added option in 'My Guild'/'View' that lets any member of the guild view the guild activity log.

13, Jun 2006 [Beta Game]: For requests, use the term 'Reject' rather than 'Refuse'. Keep records of all requests to join a guild for three days; record and display which ones were accepted/rejected/expired.

11, Jun 2006 [Beta Game]: Added new 'My Guild' tab that displays details on your guild. Moved guild creation, guild joining and guild administration into it. Implemented navigation via a top row of button inside the 'My Guild' area. Guild members see a single button ('View') there; guild leaders have other buttons too -- to administer the guild. Guild administration reorganized in multiple subpages. Guild join requests now cause '(New)' to appear on the 'My Guild' tab for guild leaders. Decoupled guild join requests from short messages; each guild join request now has a message that is part of the request but doesn't appear as a separate message. The leader can click on 'View' on the request page to see the text. 'Accept' and 'Refuse' actions no longer generate a response message (maybe that should change). Let the leader nominate Assistants; view the list of Assistants; remove Assistants. Display roles of players when listing the guild members (roles are 'Leader', 'Assistant' and 'Member'). Let 'Assistants' moderate the GuildBox and view/accept/refuse requests to join a guild. Changed 'decline a request' to 'refuse a request'. Added Help on Assistants on the Assistants page. Updated Italian translations.
