This turn has run for some 45 hours with civforum.de yet to log in, let alone finish their turn.

I have to take down the server for several hours today. I need to install more RAM and a new harddisk and run an update cycle. The downtime will start in approximately 30-60 minutes from I do this post, and I will post here when the server is back online. I am keeping all savegames backed up on a different computer in addition to the server, just in case.

Downtime starting now.

This is going to take a while, just so everyone is aware of it. I need to move things between disks, and it's thousands upon thousands of small files. And since I'm not running the server with SSD's it takes a long time to copy all those files.

server is back!!
I wish it were that well. I have suffered a massive software problem, and will need to reinstall the entire server because the registry is corrupt. So the games will remain down for at least 18-24 more hours.

I have to go to bed now. I suppose I could start the games up again, and leave them up until I wake up again and start working on the server - but I don't see the point of that, since the rules would require a pause of up to 24 hours after this, so the game would possibly not even be unpaused before I have to take it down again.
The reinstallation and rebuild of everything may take me 1-2 days now that I've had time to look at how much I have to redo, so for good measure I will say that the game may be down for the entire weekend. If everything goes well, it'll take far less than that - but after the nightmare I've gone through tonight I'm not placing my bets on that.
(For anyone who may be interested in the technobabble it was the attempted move of a WSUS database that failed, which led to a cascade failure of several services, rendering the server more or less inoperative with Windows Installer as the final service that failed and I had to take ownership by force of several registry entries which really shouldn't be necessary just to install stuff. I don't want to leave my server in that state, so it needs to be reinstalled.)

Actually, belay that order. I need to finish my programming work before I reinstall the server, so I'll just have to live with the server as it is until I'm done with that. I'll start up the games again now, and I will do this in a week or two.

I logged in and paused the game. Turn timer is at 11:20-something.

I did pause it, so in that case someone has unpaused it. I believe the rules say 24 hours pause after reload, or was that just the suggested rule change?
If you want to request a reload you have to pause the game and we need r_rolo1 to make an admin decision.
I currently can't connect to civfr forum, and so I can't access to my team turn action list and play it. I will try again tomorrow morning (GMT+1). If it still doesn't work, is it a case where a team can put the game in pause ?
Edit : civfr forum is back, no trouble anymore.
