Thanks Nemanja. I will keep an eye on kde-games and KsirK like during past 
years, though :-)

Yes, it can be just (!) that: while having long standing bugs, KsirK has 
enough features to be playable like that. Note that if later you (or others) 
have wish and time, there is features to correct (the arena) and others to 
implement (the cards feature of Risk) or enhance (the AI).

I'm very happy to read that and I welcome you as the new KsirK maintainer. 
Don't hesitate to get in touch with me when you want.
