LlamaServer down for next few hours

[WraithLord]

llamabeast, thank you for all that effort

As for ppl starting wholesale staling once the server is plugged in - May I suggest you do some configuration/programmatic magic and set all games to turn off quick host, or add 24h extension to all games.

If that won't be possible I'd like to humbly represent Sharivar1 game interest and asked that it gets an extension.

[llamabeast]

Thanks guys.

Right, I have spent the evening screwing and unscrewing computer components (very long story, but basically I am trying to make the LlamaServer silent so it can sit in my lounge). I think hopefully it's working now. It's currently humming away to itself processing the backlog. Unfortunately I can't see what it's doing until its finished, so hopefully its doing good things!

Things to note:

1) I accidentally set an ANCIENT version of the LlamaServer going earlier - I booted off a hard disk that used to be the LlamaServer disk ages ago without realising I'd got the wrong one. Unfortunately that version checked the e-mail, so (a) people may have got odd rejection messages, and (b) turns sent over the last day may not have got through.

2) I postponed all games by 48 hours.

Fingers crossed!

Okay:

1) It seems to have worked, so far as I can tell. I will set it running as normal overnight and see what horrors await me when I wake up.

2) I think I was wrong about the ancient account eating e-mails. It may have eaten ancient e-mails from a different account. Probably the only effect is that a few people got VERY odd e-mails.

Llama, thank you so much but i have a quick question. Why does it say:

(in game settings and admin options):

Planning game: Casual_EA_for_busy_schedules

Pretenders so far: 8
Max pretenders: 9

BUT

(in general game page)

Nations joined so far:
Helheim
Agartha
Abysia
Sauromatia
T'ien Ch'i
Tir na n'Og
R'lyeh
Arcoscephale
Ermor

suggesting that 9 nations have joined.

8=/=9?

[llamabeast]

Dunno. There will probably be several such haywire things. It's not quite settled down yet. It is always a bit grumbly when I first get it going again. I'm afraid that for all my efforts to make the code transparent it seems to have a life of its own.

However, in that case if you force start the game I think it will be fine.

[llamabeast]

Well, it's behaving a little oddly still, but I have to go to bed. I shall see what mysteries I awake to in the morning.

[archaeolept]

you need to feed more souls into its infernal engine, clearly.

[Immaculate]

thanks...

Yeah, I definitely got a few weird emails. Lots of "turn sent" "revised turn sent" "you sent a pretender for a game that does not exist" "invalid turn file received" messages, all from sending in a few 2h files (for the same game, same turn, one a revision and one a resend of the revision).

[Stretch]

I get 9 more of those emails every few hours, not sure if llamaserver is up and happy yet! I just got these in the last 2 hours.
