Default Re: New Server!!!!

I am on vacation and got a weak wireless signal and sent in a turn. It seems others have not.

Gandalf is nice to host the game, though i am not sure why we would switch at this late point, unless Velusion was closing down for good.

In any event, I would give people extra time to get their turns in on the new server. Had I not hit an area with wireless service, poor though it is, I would have staled as I decided to not get a sub for fallacy since it is late game and it would have taken a sub hours to decipher everything.

Though a stale or 2 would not hurt me significantly at this point. Well, this is a family holiday, and there are hungry people waiting to be fed.

I will only add that i was the "chef" at the family 4th July Barbecue and 5 generations of my family were present. And my trials and tribulations were the stuff of slaptick comedy.

I can't connect either, and haven't been able to for some time.

But given my current status, it would not be outrageous just to set me to AI.

Yes Velusion is done hosting for good. That is why the change was made. Here is his email.

From Velusion:
> The server that it was running on has crashed... I don't have any incentive
> to invest anymore time or money into getting it fixed - however I do have
> copies of the games still running (I can access the server but it won't stay
> up longer than about 5 minutes). I've attached them here... hopefully
> someone else can host them for ya.

It tried to get the word out, posting about it here and even sending PMs to all remaining players. I would have sent a PM to your sub, Xietor, but I could not find out who that is.
