Ah, let's reset the timer again.

lch · #**452** March 1st, 2008, 06:45 PM

I'm sorry, I have to let the timer stay off a while longer. My notebook has broken down and I am unable to play the game at the moment. Even though a file system check doesn't report any errors, I am unable to boot successfully. I have investigated the problem and the last entry in my /var/log/messages before the system started to fail is an "attempt to access beyond end of device", uh-oh...

I hope I'll get my system back running in time, but I'm ill at the moment with a bad cold and I'm rather confined to staying in bed, too. Meh.

Ouch! Get well soon, and I hope you get back online quickly, too. I hope you didn't lose much data... :/

Sorry to hear about your computer trouble! And your unfortunate illness too.

Sounds like the scales problem to me.

Dominions bugs are leaking into your reality.

I hope everything gets better, you and your PC too!

Okay, I think I have about recovered enough now. I am now in the process of making my notebook useable again. Instead of installing Gentoo for the umpteenth time, requiring about three days of setup with one full day of compiling (and the new release which should have been done in late 2007 isn't even getting ready right now), I'm now having a go at Arch Linux. I have the base system ready, Xorg and KDE is about done. I might be able to install and play the game tomorrow.

lch · #**456** March 10th, 2008, 08:31 PM

Update, I have finished installing Arch Linux and configured it to some extend. It blows.

I'll reinstall Gentoo again, and I'll make sure to come up with some backup solution this time. This might take a good week. Maybe I'm back on the weekend already.

*Hubert J. Farnsworth voice* Good news, everyone!

I've cockered up my Gentoo installation to a useable system again. DRI seems to be working, too. I'm looking forward to playing my turn within the next day or so. But I think I will let the timer stay off until the weekend is over because of easter. So prepare to meet your doom shortly after that.

Mind Elemental · #**458** March 22nd, 2008, 02:05 AM

Woohoo! Glad you brought your system back from the abyss.

lch · #**459** March 22nd, 2008, 09:01 AM

Yeah, Easter got me now, but I'll be right back...

Lo and behold, a new turn is upon us. The wait is over.

What a crazy map. And what a crazy game. It really took me quite some time to get into this. I haven't looked at the result of the hosting yet, but I remember that Oceania declared war, mumbling that people think Caelum's getting too strong. Well then, let's see what you've got - I'll take on all of you or die trying! (would be kinda bad if the host wins the game, I'd rather pass out in a puddle of my own blood

)
