Default Re: New & raw web based Dominion II game server

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. :-(

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!

Esben, any chance of implementing a limit on the number of games a single person has created at one time?

Right now one person takes just over 25% of the game slots, creating mutant games that appeal to his own warped view of the game, and quitting the games as soon as he's not having fun anymore.
