+MySQL and MariaDB are both supported through the same `mysql` driver/config. If a stats
+query ever fails (bad credentials, dropped connection, etc.), BlockParty logs the full error
+once for diagnosis and then throttles repeats of that same failure to once every 5 minutes —
+it never spams a stack trace on every round, and gameplay is unaffected either way since all
+stats I/O is async and best-effort.

 The MySQL JDBC driver (`mysql-connector-j`) is bundled in the plugin jar, so no extra
 download is required. The stats table is created automatically on startup if it doesn't
 exist. All queries run asynchronously off the main thread regardless of storage type.
