Game is fine. I hired a new coder who has been in training the last few weeks. And since the easter contest, I've been dealing with a wannabe hacker trying to get free credits through paypal. Not sure why he'd use his real paypal account if he was trying to hide behind his fake email though.
At the moment, we are finishing testing of our new coder's first coding fix to combat as well as some other simple things he did to learn the ropes. I've finished dealing with Mr Wannabe, so now I can get onto the contest results.
As for fears of "ending the game"... not even going to happen. I'm pretty excited at actually having a paid employee who will contribute.
