New & raw web based Dominion II game server

That little detail was not mentioned when they approached me :-( I resent that very much. My server is for fun, not for profit, and besides, I'm not sure that for-profit serving is allowed in the contract with my ISP.

So quite possibly, if this is true, they will have to move. It even rhymes...

(And my server is not public domain! It's my server --- I just choose to lend it to the dom2 community for a while)

I wasn't aware that the Battlefield was for profit. Because I sure as hell haven't sent them anything. In fact, they owe me $50.

This doesn't sound terribly profitable. Where'd you hear they were for profit?

ehh, all this cohen and related slot hogging is pretty dismal. really, I think he's used his lifetime supply of slots...

anyways, Esben thanks again for all your trouble. hopefully you don't find this slot-whoring too much irritating drama.

Is it your plan to delete defunct games? since even ancient games still seem listed on the server. I don't know whether they cause any resource drag, (probably not), but they do clutter up the game lists.

for the record, all games that I have been in are now over:

BigGame
Battle_for_Heaven
Crowded_Land (yay me!)
Twelve_by_High_Magic
SixManAran

-ok, this Last i can't swear to, but Wendigo was quite dominant as of turn 40 or so...
I'm pretty sure its just been staling for ages

edit: also
toolsfools
Godhood

and those testgames probably don't need to hang around (just guessing)

As far as I know The Battlefield has nothing about "for profit".

And running a website doesn't always mean having a PC at disposal.
Even usually you take only the domain, and you've remote access only to your website harddisk space, not to the entire computer, nor you can install things on.
In Italy at least it works so, unless obviously you'rent someone who sell web space to other (who usually have the server farms)

...The timestamp match this. Really weird. Anyway, I'll stop this game now.

Strange. Two games gone, and no new ones in the open list (that I noticed). Yet the server is still saying that it's full

THere's probably a waiting list of people trying to get into the server, which would probably explain why slots are taken nearly instantly.

As I said, no new games appeared on the open list.
That's where any games in a "waiting list" would appear, right?

They would, unless they started before you noticed. Guess some people are anxious or something.

That can't be it. Apart from a tourney game that was already occupying a slot in the open list when the 2 games were deleted, no game has appeared in the running list since July 13.

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.

Semiblitz has re-appeared in the running list
