MP: Mo-Fr 12.00hUTC fixed scheduled (running again

[Chazar]

Hi, I'm still there, but my train is leaving at 22:51h and I still dont have my bags packed...
(I'm not commuting home but going on a short holiday...)

So for short:

I dont doubt that Norfleet's Server is stabel! This was just a try of a kind offer of mine. Why:
When I told my colleague about the difficulties of finding a server while we were jogging on tuesday, he said that he could host a game with DSL (to my surprise, having no idea about this kind of stuff). The IP-Address changes, yes, but thanks to DYNDNS this does not concern us, since you always type in the domain name rather than the IP-address.

Then the our server broke down today and instead of packing my bags, I convinced my friend to set the server up right NOW, just in case, because I was afraid that everyone might abandon this game while I am away this weekend, especially after that very long and tiresome "we-do-quickhosting-we-dont-do-quickhosting" discussion which I had started...

(Did I tell you that I have problems forming short sentences?)

I sent you all the host-domain and port in private, because we forgot to disable the client-start stuff, and I wanted to make sure that there is no further trouble with someone else logging in.

I just want to keep playing this game, since I havnt played a real MP game yet, but I am crazy about this game. (Tell my fiancee about it: She almost forbid me to play on the weekends when I am with her...irritating, isnt it?)


Another TINY reason for proposing a restart might have been my dead prophet and my annhilated army as well, err..

So, I really have to go now. I also think that we continue this game. I am always willing to start another game (provided that I dont have to play on every weekends) so upload your pretender if you like. I dont mind if someone else manages the sign up and Posts domain and port if not everybody wants to play again...

Have a nice weekend and multiply your worshippers... Bye!

And I suspect it is being force hosted

Sounds like we've got a consensus for continuing this game, and I've submitted my turn.

Norfleet, just to confirm and make sure we're clear. Are we still on Qickhost only at the moment?

That's right. It should be impossible for anyone to stale. I'm leaving it this way until everything appears to be stable again, and I've given everyone a day or so's worth of notice that the timer will be engaged following the next 1200 UTC.

[Kel]

Ugh, regular QH is something I need to avoid. We can't do a regular old force host like we were going to do ?

It's only a temporary thing until the problem seems to go away. The alternative being people staling if the connection conks out while the sysadmin isn't around.

Hi
I did not get a stale turn I think (I am sure I would have noticed, probably).
I did it at 10 am-ish IIRC
I am happy either to continue or to restart. I am also interested in another game.

Norfleet - is the Quickhost operating over the weekend too?
