I'm in the UK, so only 6 hours ahead of St Louis and a couple behind Mr V.

Yes, there is no fix yet and there may never be. Following on from what Foss said, it now seems likely that the "Player" substitution is Mytona gathering data on Joyota's FL deletions. After submitting a ticket to G5 it could be that they've set up some "Player" monitoring to try to give some clues as to what is causing the problem. I couldn't say what they're trying to achieve other than get some insight into the frequency of the FL loss and the times at which it occurs, but I can't see a problem with keeping the Players in your FL. In fact, if everybody didn't delete them, they'd have to use a new id everytime to insert another Player and that would act as a count of how many times the FL is getting deleted...once it reaches 100 or so perhaps they'll start to devote more time to the issue? Of course, to prevent this happening it appears that they are deleting the Player's FL from time to time.

One thing I noticed yesterday is that either 12 of Joyota's friends are very quick to delete the Player or that not everyone gets a Player inserted in their FL?

I'm wondering if Joyota has tested deleting anyone on purpose to see if a Player gets substituted on that occasion? If not I can offer the services of my test game, "TheGenie", for some experiments.

Going forward, it would seem that the reconnection script is going to be used on a regular basis...I can modify it so that the "acceptance" is handled automatically as well. The FL will need to be backed up again everytime a new friend is added.

And concerning the wikia login/logout question...I'm logged in all the time (unless I need to change time zones ;-) ).
