If the server itself goes down the turns will not run. However, right now the server is up and running fine blissfully unaware that no one can reach it to upload their turns because of the ISP problems. So it's has been processing any games set to fully automatic turns that expired today during the tiem when you could not reach the website. Any games set to ALPU are fine as they will run as normal and not process until everyone is able to get their turn in.

Once I get home I can get on the server and turn off the automatic processing. What this will do is cause all games that are set to Fully Automatic to function exactly like a game that is set to ALPU. Once the website is accessible again if everybody in the game uploads or emails in their turn the turn will process. But from the point when I am able to turn off auto proc no turns will process simply because of the turn timeout.

If your game processed today during the timeout you can talk to your game owner about setting the turn back. If he is saving the turn files he can do this himself. If he is not he will have to contact us to send him the files or set the turn back for him.

In a couple days barring no more problems I will turn the auto proc back on and things will be back to normal. This will give every one a chance to get caught up on their games before the start running in fully automatic mode.

The time on the server will not be changed. That is not necessary at all.
