Greetings simuants, or whatever passes for local denizens here

I am Mark Metson,
proprietor of
Digitalis Data Services (Est.1980) whose main domain is knotwork (dot whatever I could afford; back when domains were implemented I once even held windows.{com,net,org} and tried to auction them
as a set on the new site e-bay, was charged $2.50 for setting up the auction, no one even bid (not even $2.50 for the set to cover the auction cost!) so I let them go; E-bay still sends me a bill every month ever since admitting they owe me a refund of the auction price but never actually sending me the refund. All these years!)

I am known usually as knotwork or markm on forums, usually knotwork though for some long forgotten reason or none I am
markm on BitCoinTalk forum and some few others. I snapped up markmetson@ on a number of common email venues including
sourceforge long ago just to forestall attempted identity-theft on such platforms; On the bitcoin IRC bot / web of trust system that uses GPG presumably there is still enough of a trail I could dig up my old old old many machine-migrations ago desktop's homedir's .gpg and still confirm yeah I'm still
me.

Okay so here we go...
What brings me here tonight is the thread
Topic: Re-scaling Simutrans.
What led me to it is current research for the
Galactic Milieu, of which I am the lead developer.
The Milieu is basically a metagame taking all the free open source multiplayer (preferably "massively", if truth be known) online games that I can find that actually work and trying to find a place for them within a multiverse into which such games get used as viewports or "
rabbitholes" (yes, it is or can be or might be an "
alternate reality game"...).
So. There I was, chatting with other DeVCoin developers and afficionados (I am one of the two original developers of
DeVCoin, and thus, as initial tool when researching how to go about coding DeVCoin, also of
GRouPcoin) about possibly using some kind of transport baron game and whether to use OpenTTD, Simutrans, both, or something else entirely... So I started to do my homework, or as some say, "due diligence"...
...And here I am,
via the abovementioned thread.
So without further ado, mayhap 'tis time I ventured over to said selfsame
aforementioned thread...
