New Dawn - EA Dawn of Dominions

[CUnknown]

Bump! Can't let our thread fall off the first page.

I think I will take this opportunity to engage in some good-natured smack talkin'.

Mmmm, Pale One. The other, other, -other- white meat!! Argatha's just a bunch of cave men!! You will soon be enslaved by your friendly neighborhood bunch of dominatrixes. Submit now and be spared the worst of your punishments!!

I might need to give me some extension time because my laptop has finally broken down after being jumpy for some weeks.

I'm sorry to have to announce another bad thing (in my opinion): My host is changing from Linux based to Windows based. Not my decision and I can't do much about it, but let me tell you that I don't like it at all. While it should be theoretically possible for me to get all the nice things back that I have right now (sendmail, webserver, don't know about cronjobs and multiplexers like screen) my trust in Windows as a serious multiuser system is quite low. I don't expect that it would be possible to login graphically (or otherwise?) with more than one connection, I have no idea. I will either try to get my stuff on the Windows system or else use a linux box that I am administrating at my office, or something.

If for some reason you can't connect to the game server anymore (because the DNS records will prolly be changed) then try the current IP: 88.198.59.162

If that doesn't work anymore, too, then I guess the game is on hiatus...
I'll try to sort it out ASAP but as I wrote before, I'll be busy aswell.

If I know anything definitive I'll let you know.

so what is the status on this game now?

is there an ETA for when it will get back up and running?

[lch]

The game *is* still running, I will have to move it, though.

Oh, and I haven't played my turn yet because my notebook has broken down - an entirely different bad thing. I will try to do my turn today, though.

[lch]

Okay folks, the server switch is finished. The game is now up and running at valhalla.techno-mage.com with everything else staying the same. The timer has been reset, and I'm using nbsmtp instead of sendmail for now, so if you don't get the turn notifications via email anymore then send me a PM.

Big thanks to Gandalf Parker who is providing the host.

I will do my turn ASAP as I'm the only one left, but I have to catch a couple of zZz's first.

Sorry, I'm turning off the timer for this week. I'm on a conference and as it turns out I have better access to the internet than I anticipated and I even managed to get my replacement notebook setup by now, but my time to do anything else than work is very limited, and frankly I don't want to go stale again.

[Mind Elemental]

Sounds good, I'm having a busy week myself.

What is the ETA on getting this game back up and running?

[lch]

I'll play my turn today and turn the timer on then, too. ETA: a few hours.
