Welcome back! I don't think you were affected since your turn was done when I restored the server so we're just heading into our first new turn now.

Sigh. I hope it doesn't continue like this all winter. I notice from CivStats that it went down about an hour ago.

I'll get the server back up when I get home tonight. Should have about 18 hours on it I believe.

Server is back up with 18:26 on the timer. I had to reboot the cable modem. I still wonder if the colder weather has something to do with it. It's snowing and below freezing outside today. Hmm.

Just FYI, it was 70 degrees and breezy yesterday.

My apologies for the downtime right now guys. It was a bad day yesterday with the server going down while I was at work and again while I was sleeping. Then this morning I slept in and didn't have time to restart it.

The plan is to start it back up again at 9:00 pm my time (GMT - 7) at the start of my last turn. This puts the timer with about 18 hours on it but does mean Wenz and Hoplosternum will need to redo their turns.

Hopefully this instability with my ISP connection will correct itself soon. If not, I'll look for other server hosting possibilities.

In the meantime, as always, you can help me out by posting here when you are unable to do your turns and letting me know how much time you need before you can do your turn again. Otherwise as a general rule of thumb I'll try to keep at least 12 hours on the timer when I restore a save file.

I can redo my turn tomorrow morning GMT before work, no problem.

Thanks for hosting our game and putting all that work into it!

No problem! I know how frustrating this downtime is for everyone so thanks for your patience.

A heads up that I'll be out of town from Jan 15 to 17. I'll try to keep the server up during that time but the odds are pretty good that I'll lose Internet connectivity at some point. If that happens, expect it back up the evening (MST) of the 17th.

I am probably dreaming, when you put the server back online, I won't be able to play again till Friday eve 21:00 GMT

Ya, I saw that we lost access to the server this morning. It was up for 2 of the 3 days I was gone so that's pretty good.

I'll take a closer look at the save files tonight but it might be easiest just to restart the current turn so we'll have a 24 hour timer to work with. I'll post details once I get it up and running again.

Server is back up with 24 hours on the timer.

Hoplosternum, CingularDuality, Lars, and I will need to redo our 75 AD turns.

**CingularDuality** · 01-17-2008, 10:31 PM

Thanks!

Server went down tonight. I think only Whiplash and Neo were left so hopefully they can get their turns in with the 8:20 now on the timer. I restored to the beginning of Snarlin's last login.
