New & raw web based Dominion II game server

THE SYSTEM IS DOWN!

It's very strange, because the webserver itself appears to be up, and it reports that all the games are "in progress", but the game ports do not respond, and a telnet probing reports a connection refused, as if the games were down, except that they're reported as up.

It seems to have gone away now. What caused it?

The cause was me. I had just recompiled the newest and greatest kernel, which would enable me to finally do a decent multithreaded profiling to show once and for all that fork() is more effective than threads...

well, anyway, I had a session open for each of my three linuxboxes. I wanted to reboot the one ---- but mistakenly wrote

code:
reboot

in the other. :-(

Is this game defunct?

Nicely spotted. No moves since April. I have stopped the game. If anybody was playing the game, NOW would be a good time to say so.

It doesn't cost too much if you order it by the truckload. Bulk is cheaper.

Encouraged by my success, I took another browse down the list and discovered about8playersLrgMap which contains no registered players (!)

Another free slot?

Possibly. The Last stats output was this:

code:

Man is computer controlled

Ulm is computer controlled

Ermor is computer controlled

Mictlan didn't play this turn

I assume the above means that marignon has been eliminated, since his files hasn't been touched since april. Neither have Mictlan. Using a slot for having computer players duking it out isn't worth it. I'll go kill it now.

Keep up the good work!
