I am Wastrel, aka WastrelWay and Wastrel Way, and this site is in part things that I have written. To communicate with me use `ssh gameplayer@iWastrel.com`. You can also play some games there. The password is 'playgames'.
Remember your personal login and password. If you forget, the only way to fix it is to create another account and leave me a message so I can get you set up
again. I will personally check who you are. On the other hand, you can have as many accounts as you want and stay logged in as long as you want... or at least
until the server needs to be rebooted, which is rarely.
Gripes, comments, flames, questions, suggestions etc. may be submitted by selecting the comment item on the gameplayer menu. Or you can go to the SPAM page.
