Gandalf and lch both volunteered to host Fallacy, so you might ask either of them if they could also host this game.
I've contacted Gandalf.

He has kindly agree to host our game for us.

Here is a quote from his reply:

Quote:

OK.
game.dom3minions.com 10448
It was on 48 hour hosting?

You might have the players consider it to be a "test" rise of the game for a couple of turns in case I got something wrong. If anything turns up as a problem then the zip file can always be used to reconstruct it again or with someone else.

It sounds to me as if Gandalf may already got game files from one of us. I am at work at this moment, so I can't test if the game is already running or not at the ip/port he speciified. If not, perhaps someone could sent him needed files?

Anyway this certainly are good news. Gandalf rocks.

Great, thank you.

Gandalf has some questions for us players.

Quote:

ok its 72 hour now

do you want the zip files mailed to you each turn? (backups)
does any player want turns emailed?
does any player want email notices when the turn processes?

Please feel free to contact him directly if you like.

Ok, just got home from work. (Hurrah to short work day due to upcoming 4th of July! I am very tired from crunch mode of our soon-to-be-released software product, need a break from programming or I'll go nuts )


The game is working fine, 67 hours left until the next host. Everybody except Kalissia need to upload their turns over the next 2.5 days.

Sorry to try and delay the game even further, but could we have a 24 hour extension in addition to the above 67 hours? I'm traveling this 4th of July weekend, and won't be back till Sunday.

Also, good luck with the programming, Corwin. We're about to enter crunch-mode at my own software shop; hopefully we can finish this game up before then.

Thanks you.


Delaying hosting is fine with me, but you should sent PM to Gandalf - he is our new host, and I don't think he reads this thread.

I will forward your PM to Gandalf and ask him to delay hosting. But please keep in mind that the current hosting is 19 hours from now (so it will host around 11AM Pacific time on Sunday). I don't know if Gandalf will see this PM in the next 19 hours (it's kind of short notice, especially since it is a long weekend).

So if you can, you may want to try to make as much of your turn as you can by Sunday morning and upload it, in case if the game will host before Gandalf will get your note.

Good luck!

Ok, I've contacted Gandalf and forarded him AdmiralZhao's request. He had reset the timer, it is now 68 hours away.

But I would suggest let's try to get out turns as soon as we can though, we have been hanged on this turn for a while now. Mine is pretty much ready.
