Ah so this is an internet explorer game. gotcha.
It would be disingenuous to call ie a web browser.
I’ll have to check it out later. telnet is blocked here.

Maybe I’m missing some sarcasm, but Telnet has nothing whatsoever to do
with

“Locating a cache of rubies for you to save…”
Seems the Cobots have stolen all the rubies 
Nothing happening!
“Connection closed by foreign host.”
Seems the Cobots cut me off

Whyday was one day only. 
The COBOTS have been driven back for now. Who knows if they have really

Damn. I was away from this list for a few months, and I missed the
announcement for Whyday. In fact, I signed up again the very next day

How sad for me. . . .
