Here it is Tuesday, and the turn didn't run? I'm with Folket. The server ought to be set to run on the specific days that it's supposed to run on.

Although, I will admit : it's bad enough when someone gets into a normal free-for-all game and starts missing turns and drops out, but it really sucks for a team-oriented game, since it directly impacts the team mates (as opposed to the indirect impact in free for all, where the people neighboring the now-comatose nations benefit and the others don't).

Seems like Curious cat is not playing. Let endoperez use masterpassword to let either me or himself play caelum until curious catr returns or we get a replacement.

Cainehill · #**184** November 15th, 2005, 03:18 PM

Too bad the passwords hadn't been shared for all players on the same team. Or at least, each team gives to the organizer, that way the master password doesn't need to be given out.

Sorry. RL distractions. I'm still playing but cannot connect to the server.

Endoperez · #**186** November 16th, 2005, 01:52 AM

Surprise surprise, the server was DOWN again. This time, it was the biggest storm of this autumn. No electricity...

It should be up again, as you can decipher from this post appearing on the forum the electiricy came back. Some poor workers must have had a long night.

Even with that, if nothing else happens I'm afraid I'm going to host the game soon, this evening or tomorrow morning.

Endoperez · #**187** November 16th, 2005, 03:56 AM

Damn blackdowns! There was a few-second moment of no electricity this morning after that post, and the computers of course shut down. I restarted the server, and Dominions, but if more moments of darkness happened, or if the firewall prompts Dominions again ("Have you updated this application since the last time you used it?" and something), it mightn't work.

If the server doesn't work today, and I'm not even able to test it until I get home in maybe 6-7 hours, I can't really host. With the server down Saturday-to-Monday, and with no chance for CuriousCat to play his turn today, it would be rather heavy-handed.

Folket · #**188** November 16th, 2005, 06:39 AM

Seems like it is not working at the moment, perhaps you should handle out turn by email and we may PBEM while the server is unstable.

CuriousCat · #**189** November 16th, 2005, 09:58 AM

I'd be happy to PBEM if necessary. I just need the turn file. Endoperez should still have my email address. I tried to send him an email but it bounced.

Endoperez · #**190** November 16th, 2005, 12:35 PM

I sent the file, the server might be up, and I probably gave you wrong e-mail address. At least the storm that wrecked the electricity (trees fell on lines) wasn't my fault... I just wished for winter to finally come.

EDIT: I received PM from CuriousCat. The next turn should be up on tommorrow morning (around 06:00 GMT +2). Sorry for the delay, but at least the backline didn't move anymore.

---------------------
I did wish for winter to come sooner, and for some reason, the snow came right after the big storm... I wonder if something heard my mumblings, and for some reason, a sudden chill makes me shiver...
