Well, don't everyone thank me and Gandalf at once. Geez, the late game ennui in this game is abhorrent.

Hm? Oh, sorry, fell asleep there.

Well...I don't have any food, but here a smiley for each of you.

I cant connect to the new server, is there some problem?

Hmm. I just connected a little while ago. Please check your settings.

I am on vacation and got a weak wireless signal and sent in a turn. It seems others have not.

Gandalf is nice to host the game, though i am not sure why we would switch at this late point, unless Velusion was closing down for good.

In any event, I would give people extra time to get their turns in on the new server. Had I not hit an area with wireless service, poor though it is, I would have staled as I decided to not get a sub for fallacy since it is late game and it would have taken a sub hours to decipher everything.

Though a stale or 2 would not hurt me significantly at this point. Well, this is a family holiday, and there are hungry people waiting to be fed.

I will only add that i was the "chef" at the family 4th July Barbecue and 5 generations of my family were present. And my trials and tribulations were the stuff of slaptick comedy.

I can't connect either, and haven't been able to for some time.

But given my current status, it would not be outrageous just to set me to AI.

Yes Velusion is done hosting for good. That is why the change was made. Here is his email.

From Velusion:
> The server that it was running on has crashed... I don't have any incentive
> to invest anymore time or money into getting it fixed - however I do have
> copies of the games still running (I can access the server but it won't stay
> up longer than about 5 minutes). I've attached them here... hopefully
> someone else can host them for ya.

It tried to get the word out, posting about it here and even sending PMs to all remaining players. I would have sent a PM to your sub, Xietor, but I could not find out who that is.

Ok, the game is back up and running on Gandalf's server. The new address is:

game.dom3minions.com
port: 10375

It is set on 72 hour host, with 72 hours till the next hosting.

This game should be considered a test for the next few turns, until everyone is satisfied that it is playing correctly. Gandalf will also be setting up a status page for it in the next few days.

Just re-posting this for those that did not see it. When I logged in last night, it looked like over half the remaining players had done their turn, and logging into gandalf's server has so far not been a problem for me.

[DrPraetorious]

I can't connect on that address either; just hangs.

dom3minions.com also doesn't answer pings or traceroutes from where I am, not sure what that means though. DNS works for it, anyway.

[Lingchih]

Hmm. I'll PM Gandalf and see if he can help you. I can still log in fine. Just did my turn, in fact.

[Lingchih]

I can ping and traceroute

game.dom3minions.com

as well. It shows up normally.

I'm trying my best to keep you in the game DrP. I sure don't want that long Caelum border with me to suddenly go AI
