Anyone playing on the LlamaServer should have received the contents of this post as an e-mail. But I thought I would post it here as well, just to make sure people see it.

Hello all,

So, on Monday, something funny happened to the LlamaServer. Let's say, for the sake of melodrama, that it exploded (it didn't explode). In any case it stopped working. I suspect the fault was connected with Hurricane Ike, which apparently took out the mail server for a bit. Maybe the LlamaServer's frantic efforts to contact the mail server made it overheat (I think I will post more about this on the forum, for any who are interested).

Anyway, I managed to mysteriously fix it by taking it apart and putting it back together again, exactly as I found it. So everything is now running smoothly again.

Please note that all e-mails sent to the server during the downtime have been lost. So you should send your turns in again if you didn't get a receipt e-mail. However, I've reset the timers for all the games, so you have a bit of time (e.g. for a game on 24-hour quickhost, it'll host about 24 hours from now). Game admins take note: this will have overridden any other delays you may have put in place.

Thanks for your patience over the last few days. Everyone's been very patient and very helpful, which I really appreciate.

Now, back to the games!
