the oobs 4th pitboss game (Warlords), 15 players

[the oob]

It's a moot point, as I don't think there's anyone here who has a specific hour every day in which they play the game. I sometimes take my turns in the mornings if necessary, otherwise it's anytime between 5.30pm-10.30pm.

The timer has been disconnected from this game.

Fixed.

What patch?

Both servers will be down from around friday night to monday night (NZ time), as I will be out of town.

If you take them down about now instead it would mean i wouldn't miss any turns as i am going to be away from inet for like 4 days. Going to get a sub hopefully though...

Yeah ok, may as well since it makes it easier to time things.

Alright everyone: the server for my 3rd game (NOT this game, the other one) will be down in half an hour, since the turn just recently started for that. If you want to take your turn before I take the server down, do it now.

The server for my 4th game (this one) will be taken down 'tomorrow morning' (about 10 hours from now) because I want the current turn to end first... I prefer to have a lot of time on the clock when I take down the server.

 

[the oob]

ok the server is now down.

 

[the oob]

I've brought the 3rd game (my other game) server back up, but will wait for 'tomorrow morning' to bring the 4th game up so that I'll be bringing it up around the same time I took it down.

 

[classical_hero]

Why did you not bring both games up at the same time, since they both had about the same amount of time left on the timer?

Yeah probably should've. Anyway the 4th game is back up now.

I can't see anything wrong from my end so it may have sorted itself out, but just in case I'm reloading both game servers, I have to go to work so I'm unable to wait for someone to test it, hopefully it works.

Oyzar: if you're available talk to me on MSN ASAP.

 

[the oob]

Ok the servers are back up, Dr Strangelove has tested one and it worked.

Lost connection to pitboss while I was in game. Now can't connect anymore.

 

[the oob]

The server crapped out a few hours ago, I've reloaded from the most recent save. Dandridge, you'll have to retake yours.

 

[the oob]

If you couldn't get in earlier today, it's sorted now.

 

[Dandridge]

Can't connect (800 BC). Server seems to be down again.

Thanks for letting me know, it's back now.

Going to try turning off the virus scanner, hopefully it's the cause of the connection crapping out.

game down. [posted in other game thread]

Back up now. I'm going to leave civstats off to see if that helps, if it has the same problem again I'll put it back on.

I'm just going to have to try things one at a time until, hopefully, something works.

 

[the oob]

without civstats alot of ppl will miss their turns. [posted in other game thread]

I will email everyone when there's a new turn (although I may be a little late sometimes). Since the problem we've been having seems to happen quite frequently, this should only last a day or two if civstats isn't the problem.
