Hi

How curious, my time() returns a -ve integer (and it does advance at the
correct rate)

 From the docs

Description:  Return the number of seconds since some fixed point in the past.

Does this mean that I am writing this, on this computer, before this fixed
point in the past?

Simply add this above procedure sched() in sched.e

global function my_time()
return time() + 12000000
end function

and replace all instances of time() with my_time throughout the whole of
langwar,
to bring yourself 'up to date', or 'back to the future', or..... etc
