Ecomic War will be out tonight, Tuesday 9 May, at about midnight. I'll be needing to make some DB edits which I should already have worked out by then. I'll be as quick as I can. If all goes well then you should probably plan on a half hour break. If it doesn't go well, I'll use this thread to keep you posted.

These outages will be a nightly thing as I adjust the map to reflect the ongoing game. I'll use this thread to keep you posted of all future outages so as to avoid spamming the forum. (I'm starting to feel a little guilty about that already!)

I waited a bit for some folks to get out of mission before taking it down. The server went down at 12:15. Start your timer from there.

I'm glad I'm under age. All you drunk people will be easy prey.

yeah, but if you eat a drunk person, you get drunk too... <throws the empty bottle of Sake into the corner>

Yes, I've been (The Dread Pirate) Roberts from the start. I like the voices for Syndicate.

It's been half an hour. Things are going well, it's just that certain overlords were a little more ambitious than I was expecting. Keep watching this space. Progress is being made.

Going to be much longer?

And does it have to be at THIS time everynight? can't you spread the love around a bit so the same folkes don't have to keep hitting refreash every night?

Then again I could always complete this donation form to the re-elect Ted Kennedy fund with your address on the mailing label, ensuring you get mail from them for years to come

Herr Burt · « **Reply #12 on:** May 10, 2006, 12:31:53 am »

Well, it's back up!

(Finally)

That took a bit longer than I expected. I've made note of the trouble spots in the process, and will hope to prepare things to move more quickly from now on.

Oh, and Bonk: I am definitely going to rework my DB editor to work on ranges of hexs, rather than having to put in one hex at a time! (However, I don't expect to ever have quite so many hexs to edit next time.)

Herr Burt · « **Reply #13 on:** May 10, 2006, 11:04:27 pm »

Server down for editting and cleaning. It went down at 12:03.

I have no trade routes I have to add tonight, so it shouldn't take as long as last night.

Burt-sama, after the server went down the Soryu was blown to smithereens by an asteroid base. Am I assuming correctly that if the server comes back up and I still have it, I am to SD her?

Herr Burt · « **Reply #15 on:** May 10, 2006, 11:27:41 pm »

Server back up! Elapsed time, 25 minutes.

Yes, that would be the only fair thing to do. (Otherwise we must take another finger!)

Hai Burt-sama!

(And ofcourse, I had to blow it up in a three-way mission... oh well...gives me more time to write

)

Herr Burt · « **Reply #18 on:** May 11, 2006, 11:04:49 pm »

The game went down for Editing at midnight on Thursday.

Back soon.

-Herr Burt

Herr Burt · « **Reply #19 on:** May 11, 2006, 11:39:03 pm »

Server back up at 12:41

Elapsed time, 41 minutes
