ISDG 2012 - Server Announcements, Connection Issues and Questions

I'm blocked on diplo screen with pause...can't pass the turn nor play. Is there a specific reason for this pause ?

 

[OT4E]

I really apologize for pause, but it seems we still need it. I unpause so you will get unlocked. Msg me if you still have problems.

 

[OT4E]

Can you put pause after you make your moves? I hope Bemep appears tomorrow and completes our turn.

 

[zioun]

Thanks. I finished my turn. I'm sorry but i can't make pause because i have no pause touch in my laptop...

damn, i am was droped from server and cant connect. game was unpaused (2h before turn end) (.

ps. sorry again for pause.

The server had frozen for some reason. Game is back up, reloaded from civplayers autosave.

 

[2metraninja]

Is the game active now as civstats shows -1 hours and does not moves?

 

[OT4E]

game is frozen again

 

[Caledorn]

Game reloaded, and I've talked to OT4E on Skype.

 

[OT4E]

CFC can play their turn now. Everything works fine.

 

[Caledorn]

To be absolutely sure anyone don't have to replay their turns, please do a double log in. One log in to play the turn, and then after the turn is played, log in once again to create a new save.

 

[OT4E]

Sorry guys, seems we need pause again.

 

[Caledorn]

The host caledorn.no-ip.org currently doesn't work due to some legal issue between Microsoft and no-ip.org.

https://www.noip.com/blog/2014/06/30/ips-formal-statement-microsoft-takedown/ for more info.

Use 87.252.70.182:2056 to connect to the game for now.

I have created a secondary free host at caledorn.ddns.net which should start working within a few hours, but the DNS needs to propagate around the globe before it works.

 

[Caledorn]

Game back up after I had to take it down for a bit due to a thunderstorm

Also caledorn.no-ip.org works again now.

 

[2metraninja]

Good job, Cal. Thanks again for your efforts.

 

[OT4E]

I have to apologize from my team for the pause again. It seems that we have an issue. Bemep asked for a sub, but I doubt I can find appropriate person to play our turn quick. We havent agreed that he stops making moves but this monday saying "I will make play this turn on Tuesday " he has just disappeared.

So I have started looking for sub. If he doesnt show up till tomorrow I will try to make turn myself, but I cant really promise that I will be able to make turns faster than Bemep further.
Sorry again.

 

[Caledorn]

Due to a server crash, the game had to be reloaded from the last CFC login autosave. I apologise for the inconvenience.

 

[OT4E]

Who plays now? It is impossible to find out from civstat...

CFC since I had to reload from their login autosave, and I cannot see that they logged in again after they ended turn.

Please please please do an additional login after you guys have done your moves, but before you end your turn. Yes, I know it's a bother and that it costs extra time, but if the game needs a reload you won't be left in a situation where the entire turn needs to be replayed but where it suffices to just log in and press end turn. That is for all teams, by the way. And keep in mind that the next 2 months is thunderstorm-season here, which means potential emergency shut downs of the server, or even power outages, so this is doubly important now.

Yes, it was us who had to replay turn. I do additional save 99% of the time, but this time I barely had the phisical strength to stay awake to play the turn on my weak netbook, falling asleep few times in the process So I just hoped it will be OK if I skip additional save this time.

Turn played btw
