It probably sent them all in a very short time and they are just working their way through the email system. This isn't the first time this has happened. It's never the same game, and it ususally only affects one particular game, and sometimes only one or two people in that game. Hopefully once it all clears out the problem won't come back for you. Let me know.

Ok, thanks for the info. I will keep you posted.

Well I for one can't get PBW at the moment. I'll try again in an hour or two before bed.

I was able to connect a couple of hours ago, but not right now (and, BTW, I am STILL getting copies of that turn every few minutes... ;-P ).

Meh, Ok, I'm going to try something different. Stand by...

Ok, PvK. I did a cold reboot Last night on the server and we've had a couple Tomcat resets on the server in the Last couple days and neither helped your problem. Either the emails were all sent and you are just getting the email server buffer now, or the server was caught in some sort of loop that wasn't getting cleared by the reboot. If it was the first you really shouldn't still be getting emails at this point. SO on the theory that it's the second I've reuploaded the current turn to PBW as a replacement game turn. Hopefully this will kick the game and get it out of this loop if it's in one. Please let me know if the emails stop coming.

I sent out a game news to all the players as well.

Well PBW is back up.

Hi Geo,

thanks very much for the effort. After your efforts Last night, what is now happening is I am receiving more-or-less alternating emails - the first one is time-stamped like the previous ones, on 12/14/04, and the new ones are time-stamped 12/16/04, now perhaps two every five minutes.

So apparently PBW is continually sending the email out, _and_ there are old ones still fighting their way across the Internet to me. Unless the old ones don't ever stop at the same time the new ones do (which I assume will happen when the next turn processes).

(I also noticed that me uploading my turn also didn't help.)

Actually, I haven't received any for a while now...

(That is, I didn't receive any for about 25 minutes... and then two more from 12/16/04 arrived. I guess that's just the usual web ebb and flow.)

I got a strange message from PBW when I went to upload a turn. It was this: (It opened in a file download window if you know what I mean)

You have chosen to open

GameUpload

which is a: application/octet-stream
from: http://pbw.cc/

What should Firefox do with this file?
