Maiguel: No, it's not a glitch. The server was beginning to feel the strain, and I thought it prudent to limit it below it's maximum capacity.

Gandalf: sure; I assumed the command line list text file would be easiest to understand. The few switches not listed are, as I would expect, rather uninteresting. But I should've checked, I suppose. Not used to close-sourced software, I guess.

Zapmeister: 1. It means the game was started during the period where a programming error caused the scripts to not record the participating nations. In other words: It was a bug, and it has been fixed.

2. Yes, the game just hangs around. If I notice that no one are making moves in that game, I might post here and then kill it. But it's all manual.

3. Yes, actually. I discovered it yesterday, but havn't fixed it. Sorry.

4.Again, the scripts can only supply the command line switches to dom2. I do not believe that any other victory conditions are avialble, but perhaps it can be done with a scenario? I will be happy to add any map/scenario you want until the upload facility is in place.

Have fun!

Right, I see. It might be worth taking a look at QuickSundering and BlitzDuel. If they're defunct (it certainly looks like it) then we only have to find one more to create a free slot!

I still take a regular look at QuickSundering, though since it doesn't force-host, I'm afraid it's dead.

Also, wasn't the AllTheNations game supposed to have Quickhost on? If so, it doesn't right now; I'm wondering if the flag wasn't lost over a stop-and-relaunch (18 hours to go, with all players having taken their turn... too bad!)

As a sidenote, I'd just like to say thanks again for providing the server. In between notices about dead games, complaints about LINUX, and technical questions, I imagine it must be sort of nice to get those once and a while. The service is definitely appreciated.

apocalypse (2300) appears to have stalled or something - it's sitting with all turns complete but isn't quickhosting and doesn't display a time to next scheduled hosting.

And yes, the service is definitely appreciated
