Thunderfall, the people have vested absolute power in you, trusting that you can get a server to stand the test of time!

All of these are excellent!A few more:
"The server is experiencing civil disorder. We are recruiting more entertainers."
"The server is waiting for the unit in front of it to move."
"The server has encountered a spearman. Please try again later."
I belonged to a vBulletin forum a few years ago that used a different message when the server wasn't working. We were advised to have a cup of tea while we waited. Since the server was down for over a week, we got really sick and tired of drinking all that tea...Anyone "In the know" know if any of this is at all possible?

I take it that if a CFC version of Civ were ever to come out, The Server would be one of the Wonders?We have been beaten to building "The Server" by one turn by the Egyptians. It will be ours again soon.
Now if this were a forum dedicated to lolcats...
Ohai, eberybuddy. Dis is teh Server. I hassa sick - *AH-CHOO!!!* <sniff> Plz to ask Thunderfall to call Dr. Tinycat to come help me get bedder. Kthxbai!
P.S. I can has chiken soup?
Also, fixing the server would be vastly preferable to amusing server is down messages.
No kidding.
I agree that fixing the server would be the best thing to do, but I also see nothing wrong with making it less stressful for people to deal with it when it does go down.
But this seems a lot easier. It isn't an either/or situation. I can't imagine this would take more than 30 minutes at absolute max and even if the server is "fixed" there still will be the occasional problem. When those happen it would be a lot nicer if we had an entertaining message.
