I've received this message from the GM:

I found that some orders uploaded did not have turn receipts sent out, but they were still received successfully. However, the problem is now fixed and if you re-upload your orders, you should receive a receipt. I have sent out reminder emails, and if you dont receive one then your orders are present. To be safest, it might be best to re-upload your orders again though.

Sincerely,
GM

Hmm... that doesn't sound like a delay to me.

Seems to be working now, I tried both autosend and webpage upload and both worked, with confirmation.

Yep, same here, and actually got confirmation for both autosend and webpage upload within minutes.

Yes. The meaning of "Schalk" has changed, though. When the name was formed, it meant "vassal".

As in "knecht"? Couldn't have had a double meaning?

Yes, as in "Knecht". According to my etymological dictionary, the meaning changed to "gemeiner Mensch" (mean person) in Middle High German, and later it was toned down to the meaning it has today. The name seems to be quite old, so I don't think it had a double meaning originally.

"Knecht" would be like old English "knave" (knave = jack in cards). I figure there's room for double meaning in there...Knaves are always so knavish...

My dictionary translates "knave" with "Schurke". In cards it's called "Bube" or "Page".

Dictionaries excel at denotation but connotation is often beyond them.
