Hence I'm off to play it sooner rather than later, just on the odd chance that another planet in Colonial Space may be devoured by a different planetary annihilation mechanism. :)
Nica PA reference :)
I'm looking forward to playing it.
Btw, really what happened with map #838 aka CreeperComeBack aka The first play as creeper map?

Good catch. Malicious reporting caused it to be redacted - something I've warned Virgil and he's been too busy to do something about it. Just fixed it in place. Regardless of how many reports it gets, it won't go anywhere.

It came to our attention that a few (very few) older maps got accidentally redacted out of colonial space.

Virgil will put aside the very exciting development work he's engaged with and put in place a few quick fixes to prevent this from happening going forward. He'll also put back some of these maps.

Here is a list of known or suspected maps that might be restored. If you know of another, or have an objection to one of these maps, post here.

Map 838: Creepercomeback by Stewbasic - already restored.
Map 129 UnitFactory by Malibo
Map 133 Level 3 by Zack
Map 186 teks017 flipper-licious 1 by teknotiss
Map 1077 - can't recall the details now.

I'm glad and relieved to know what happened here, and to see those maps back. I was highly puzzled by the disappearance of 838 in particular.

How will this be prevented going forward? Can't report if at least a certain number of scores posted or ratings?

The old elf was put on paid retirement and we have employed a team of Sprites to guard the maps in Colonial Space.
