Default PBW network problems.

We are having some technical difficulties with the PBW server right now. We are aware of the problem and working on a solution. No eta at this time.

Hi. Thanks for keeping us posted. I wondered if it was just my dodgy ISP or not

Regards,

Will it be up to each individual game owner how to handle missed turns as a result of the server being unavailable? If a turn was scheduled to execute while the server is down, will the server execute or does the problem prevent the server from executing turns?

I am not certain from my end whethere the server is actually down, or if it's just a network problem preventing us from accessing it. Either way though it will be possible to have some turns process because even if it's down it will kick them off once it's back up again.

If it happens talk to your game owner or post something in the admin forum. It is possible to redo a turn. If your game owner is saving the Last few turns on his pc as recomended, then he can do it without any help from the Admins. If not though we can help.

Default Re: PBW network problems.

There appears to be a routing problem in or adjacent to the globix network
This effectively cuts off the pbw server from a lot of the world (maybe all of it).
The problem should be resolved either by the miracle of multiple redundancy inherent in the internet or by someone smacking the router around a bit in the globix tech support dept.

It's likely that the PBW server itself is happily auto executing turns.

Unless they realized the problem and turned it off, assuming it is a routing problem. (wouldn't surprise me. One of the other websites I visit got DNS-swapped with a "critter porn" website the other day. Yuck)
