Contact via E-Mail @ http://www.unknownworlds.com. I think a server has to be set up, as I can't see it working any other way unless theres a hefty but nice little coding trick where SteamID's are embedded in to the mod and are kept server side but can not be changed. Although the security issue with that is anyone can see your SteamID & nickname, so prepare for lots of "Steam Friends".

It would definately be worth a go at contacting UWE staff though, they normally reply as soon as they can. You never know, if the FF staff do decide to do this and execute it just as well as it has been in NS, we could see a 'new type of gaming' in the community.
NS only executed it to a specific of the community, largely the oldest members there which playtest or have contributed to the modification, then they spanned out to donaters (which are no gurantee for good behaviour). I believe FF should do similar, as there is no way to keep tabs on a large growing community, and the older/respected members having little icons tend to make some players behave better in a vain attempt to get there own, especially when they are on server. Not bad for some sort of behaviour control, ay?
