NEW EA GAME - Server Is Up. Game has started.

[chrispedersen]

Hey guys,

First, the game is backed up prior and again after hosting.
I am not at the computer, but I believe it should not be an issue to restore; and I have no objection to doing so.

I would ask everyone that submitted a turn to be honor bound not to change it. And just allow that did not get a turn in to submit one.

Please discuss. It is possible that some battle outcomes might change (Read: I don't want any grief if we *do* rerun the turns. And for the record, I believe we should rerun them.)

Second, as I advertised a few days ago, I am in hurricane territory, and I get 12-15 power glitches every day. I have great backup power supplies and filters - but there is nothing further I know how to do to guarantee more uptime.

Third: Please understand I have a job too. And it is simply not possible for me to monitor the server 24x7. I do check it as often as I can. There was a connection when I left this morning at 7am.

Regarding the server hosting: I suspect the local internet was down; the computer was up. And of course, by the time the turn ran, the internet was back up so turns ran.
