I'm happy to finally announce that the GOTM Server is back up for Civ3 games! You can see for yourself at https://gotm.civfanatics.net/. Apologies that it took so long to sort this out - getting it working again was very complex.
Some practical details:
Thanks for all your patience during this rather difficult period. And especial thanks to @LaSalle and @Più Freddo for continuing to run games without any of the support of the GOTM Server.
Some practical details:
- The games are on the server and available for download, but it'll be a few more days before we can re-enable submitting saves. So for now, hang on to any saves you have from the last few months that you've been waiting to submit.
- All the games that were affected by the downtime (GOTM 198-200 and COTM 171-173) have had their deadlines extended at least to 15 December - to give you a reasonable chance to submit saves. (And if you haven't played some of those games and want to, now's your chance). Please remember the no-replaying rules though.
- GOTM 200 - we are having an issue with that game so it's not on the server yet. We're working on that.
- For any games that you are currently playing - you can now disregard the temporary arrangements of posting your completed save on the forum thread (not that most people were doing that anyway). Once you've finished your game, please hang on to your save until I post to say that you can submit them.
- There are still some pages on the server that aren't yet working - so you'll see various links on the GOTM site disabled. I am gradually getting round to fixing those.
Thanks for all your patience during this rather difficult period. And especial thanks to @LaSalle and @Più Freddo for continuing to run games without any of the support of the GOTM Server.
