If someone is kindly paying for a PW and letting me play for free, I take it as given that I should try and stay up to date with what's happening, rather than thinking that if I've mentioned at some point I'd like to play then I have a god-given right to an ID.
Insomn made it quite clear that he wanted to get this going asap and to pick the teams on saturday, and to do that he would need the world full by then. I consider it courteous to get into the world asap so that the guy who is kindly paying for it can get things organised.
I consider it rude to assume you're going to get a place even if you turn up late, that everyone else should wait for you, that people who *did* turn up on time should be kicked out for you, that everyone else should pander to *your* wants despite you not doing what the world host asked, and then having a go at the host who was going to let you play for FREE.
It's quite understandable that Insomn, seeing the world wasn't filling up, got whoever he reasonably could in, so that he could be sure of starting on time. If you were one of the ones who didn't turn up until the last second, then you are one of the ones responsible.

In and applied. I think starting cash needs to be enough to get Devs rolling, but not so much so people can spam staff such as Nanobots. Also, I think 5k land is good for a 3wk round, considering there is one restart allowed, too.

Complete and utter bullshit. I have never assumed that I "have a God Given Right to an ID". I assumed that as I had signed up and been confirmed that I would probably get an ID, but have already publicly accepted it was my own fault. I have never had a go at the Host, and would never presume to interfere with their decisions, he is the person that has paid.
