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

Hey guys,

Part of Velusions scripts includes dumping out a file called 'stats'. In this file it includes the status of every race at the time of the execution of the turn.

The turn that ran at 4:56 am EST says that everyone submitted a turn.

So just as a check, I compared to the stats file for other turn. For example, I just downed the server. The current stat file correctly indicated which nations had submitted turns and which had not, and which were computer controlled.

So I then checked from 3 turns ago, 4 turns ago - again all correct.

Don't get me wrong - I believe the people that say they staled. But the computer logs them as completing a turn.

Additionally, there is usually *2* backups - one done before processing a turn, and one done after. In this instance there are three. One at 4:55 one at 4:56 and one at 5:14.

The turn at 4:55 is the unprocessed turn, the turn at 4:56 looks processed, and the turn at 5:14 is processed.

I am going to attach the last three turn files to ich and to illwinter and ask them to examine the files, as well as see if its possible to log ip addresses.
