Anyone else have trouble connecting to the server?

I must have knocked the server out.

Feel free to use the email or private message option on this board to let me know if it happens again.

Would it be improper for me to become computer controlled the turn after next? (Assuming I'm not out naturally by that time)

Re: Ryan Eye MP Game (thread name changed)
 

Im not the guy who started the game but in my opinion thats the MOST proper thing a player can do. I hate it when they just fall off. If anyone is going to quit a game they should hit "esc", then turn on computer control, then return into the game and save that turn.

Also (lesson learned personally Im sorry to say) on the Last turn you see you are beaten you still have to do one more turn-in so the computer knows you got that message.

Hmmm,

Did I do it right Gandalf? Or does the server still think it needs an acknowledgement from me?

You were Caelum? It shows Caelum as inactive so the game is definetly not waiting for a turn from them.

Sorry about the blow outs. With all the map generating, MUDs, and web server stuff it looks like Im playing at the upper edge of what that poor old throw-away computer will do.

I will try to curb my projects until the game is done (unless someone else has a machine up 24/7 that wants to take it).

The next game I host will hopefully have a web-page interface for dropping off and picking up files.

It's been holding its own as far as I can see, it odesn't seem to be down more than other servers from different players I have played under.

Btw, I believe it went down on hosting more or less, so all .2h files are already in (from non Pythium players, that is). You can as well force host the turn then.

Anyone knows Ryan? Maybe someone can get him to hand his pass so that the nation goes AI or gets a sub? It's kind of game-disturbing in its current state.

Re: Ryan Eye MP Game (thread name changed)
 

OK this might be good or bad.
The game has just processed. Its back to processing when all turns are in OR at midnight if someone doesnt turn their file in within a day. The midnight check is supposed to happen ONLY if the game hasnt processed for any other reason since the previous midnight. There might be one double process tonite since I had to stop and restart the hosting program. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Obviously, the kicker here is that the problem with Pythium has been hacked.

So once again some got stales and others didn't. This is extremely annoying.
