From the menu it looks like tarke is in the game, but when I enter he's not on the # screen.

Re: Menu Sqatter?
It's possible Tark is at the startup menu. There's a period of time during which you show up in the game but don't show in the # menu yet, and there's nothing keeping you from sitting there at this point.
Unless I set a time limit for being on TWGS without starting a game, I don't think there's a problem with this. You can set on the TWGS menu or inside a game at the startup menu, and it's basically the same.

Re: Menu Sqatter?
There really isn't any harm to sitting at a menu like this if the player can't gather any meaningful information about the game. Sure, it ties up nodes and resources, but at this time there isn't a way to deal with that other than warning a player and banning the IP if he/she persists.
