I think this is probably a good decision. There are a couple of issues
with the current server setup that would make daemonizing a bit
unattractive:
* The server dumps a pair of database files in ~/.londonlaw/server/ .
Of course, it would be pretty trivial to patch that and dump the
database somewhere in /var .
* At the moment there's no good way to clean up stale saved games.
If you invite a bunch of people to play on your server, and they
abandon their games, you're stuck with them. (Until you kill the
server, manually delete the database, and restart.) In the next
release I'll address that issue with game expiration dates or an
admin account or something.
