Considering it's now nearly 3 pm, I think we might be able to chalk this up to more lip service.

Geo, we've got the rack space and static IP addresses available. Depending on the requirements, we should have 99% of the parts in stock at work. If it's a x86 application that is. If it's not more than $100 or so, I'll pay for the parts myself to get another server ready.

I don't know about mirroring, but if PBW went down again and assuming the data files would fit onto a CD-R or two, burn the PBW data files and Fed-Ex them over. I could put them on the backup server and post the IP addresses here in the forums.
Once the main site is back, I'd shut down the site, upload the latest files to you then redirect traffic back to the main PBW server.

Just an idea, if you're interested email me.

Default Re: PBW Down? - Back up!

My players are beginning to get restless. What would be involved for me to manually run the turns until the site comes back up? How would I then return the PBW game to the latest turn?

Thank you,
Merry

It is not too difficult. We used to play by e-mail all of the time. Then we figured out the PBW and realized how great it was.

Anyway...here is the scoop.

You must have a copy of the Last gam file that was sent. (Any will do, but the most recent is best.) Then have all of the players send their plr files to you.

Put them into the save game folder.

Load the program

Load the game

Indicate that you are the host (the Last player on the list.

Put in the master password for the game.

Run the turn.

Send the gam file to everyone and wait for their plr files.

If there are any errors, you can probably sort it out. The most likely problem is that the first round of plr files will not be the right turn. For the players that have the wrong turn, send them the old gam file and ask them to play that turn, even if they have played it once before.

I hope this is helpful.
