PBW Up and Running!!!

[LazarusLong42]

All:

I'm happy to announce that PBW is back up and running finally. Thanks very much for your patience.

Please do try to let the server breathe the next couple of days, just in case. Try to refrain from adding large numbers of new games, mainly. I think that'll be mostly taken care of by people who don't check these Boards figuring we won't be back up until Monday at the earliest

Also, if you encounter any residual bugs, please let us know about it/them.

Finally, the game that was causing the trouble has been removed from the system. That game's filename was LastMan--I assume it was the "Last Man Standing" game that was being played. If that game's owner or players could contact us, we'll see what we can do about getting it set up and non-buggy.

I think that's it. Happy playing, and thanks for sticking with PBW!

Oh yeah: The server will be on ALPU only for a few days, so no one should end up missing turns.

Well that's kind of a b@#%$ because one of the games I'm in (STFF) has a spot open and a player that seems to have quit without surrendering and, on top of that, the game owner is having difficulties and may not know to manually process the turn.

I bet you the problem is squirrels.

So the problem didn't end up being squirrels!
I think some people owe the squirrel community an apology, don't you?

Mind you, Australia doesn't have squirrels, we have possums, which are about twice as big as squirrels

Thanks for the Great effort you PBW Guys put in.

Heh, no offense to your game owner, but it's so easy a squirrel could do it. All he needs to do is go to the Game Admin screen and hit the grey button in the middle of the page that says "Execute the next turn!"
