PBW Down? - Back up!

[General Woundwort]

Since there may be a faint glimmer of light at the end of this bleak tunnel, perhaps we should start thinking of the logistics of getting the games up and running again. Should we do a reset to one turn prior to the collapse? Set all games to ALPU until everyone gets back up to speed?

This is already handled.

All games are already set to ALPU in effect as long as I have auto processing turned off. Even if the game itself is set to automatic turns they will not run.

The great majority of games will not need set back at all. Only those that processed a turn during the 6-8 hours before I could get to the server and turn off the auto processing that day. The small handful that need set back can be handled on a one-on-one basis by the game owner. If they have teh files for each turn they can do it themselves. If they don't they can contact the PBW admins to get the files needed.

I have a satellite uplink system that I don’t use much. Should I FedEx it?

anyway i think this is good rest for some of us

Yes, but would the realtime client crash everytime the ip was reassigned?

i don't know but i believe dhcp lease should Last more than 1 hour and 11 minutes (obviously my isp doesn't have enough real ip addresses) - once or twice per week is normal i think - any case we are waiting for the dsl :-)

No joy. The phone company guy came out today and fixed the phone line problem. But still no DSL.

I called the DSL company back. They said it's passing the line test it was failing before, but apparently there is still a problem. They are sending out another tech to run it down.

They said by Wedsday, but the guy at the help desk said if I call back Monday morning and talk to the dispatch people I might be able to get it bumped up.

The saga continues...

Ah you get more with kindness than rudeness. But in time rudeness will get you more than kindness.

just an idea...

Geo... would it be possible to have a sort of a backup server somewhere else. Perhaps someone here has the means to do this. He/she or their company or whatever could act as the game server in case such an emergency as this one arises... so the game doesn´t shut down entirely.

if its even possible... you´re the programmer you should know
