I noticed that the tombstone data is sent to the server when logged in. That's a really cool new feature!
Stone Soup, a telnet Rouge, broadcasts their tombstones via IRC. Incidentally, that process generates a lot of social activity in the channel. Considering Transcendence is only a php script away from accomplishing this, I'd like to offer to build the script. It would run at each time stats get sent into the server upon death. Later on, we could even incorporate major achievements during play.
http://www.codingforums.com/archive/ind ... 91765.html gives a nice example of how easy it would be to implement, pending the proper amount of stat data is being sent to the server to generate the tombstone message.

What are tomb stones?
Probably the only reason I haven't implemented such things is because I never heard anyone ask. Or I have no idea what it is your talking about.
Update: If people send the data to me, I could have a stats / publish system up in a few minutes, its already setup to to most of this, just needs to be sent to the irc bots.

How do I send stats? I can make a wiki page on it and link everybody there

By tombstones, I meant the accomplishment. This could be a sample message on the IRC:
XB-7 - human mail - EI500-Class Freighter
Destroyed by the pirate ship Xuanlong in the Groombridge System
Played for 1 hour and 1 minute
Score: 1,145, Called on Domina 0 Times, No Mods Loaded
It looks like version 1.08b sends this info to the server if you're logged in.
Maybe in a later version, major accomplishments could also be sent to the server (if you're interested in collecting those stats).
From there you could even include the same info via jQuery on the website. This would be an excellent foundation for integrating more social interaction between the application and the website.
