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. ;)

Herr Burt, were you Roberts? Or do I have someone in my Cartel I wasn't expecting?
-

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>
-
Herr Burt, were you Roberts? Or do I have someone in my Cartel I wasn't expecting?
Yes, I've been (The Dread Pirate) Roberts from the start. I like the voices for Syndicate. ;D
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.

but i'm eating something with it, so the blood alcohol levels wont be too bad.

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 :flame:
-
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
-
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.
-Herr Burt
-
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?
-
Server back up! Elapsed time, 25 minutes.

Yes, that would be the only fair thing to do. (Otherwise we must take another finger!)
-Herr Burt
-
Hai Burt-sama!
(And ofcourse, I had to blow it up in a three-way mission... oh well...gives me more time to write ;D)
-
The game went down for Editing at midnight on Thursday.
Back soon.
-Herr Burt

Server back up at 12:41
Elapsed time, 41 minutes

Server down for DB editing.
Sorry if I caught any of you by surprise. I logged on and tried to make an announcement, but I couldn't get my chat to work.
I'll have things back up as soon as I can.
-Herr Burt
-
Hey, guys, I made an error taking out an old trade route and putting in a new one. It's going to be a little longer than expected before the server goes back up. Should be up before 1 EST.

OK, it's up to stay this time. (Still the fastest we've had it up again after editing!)

Maintenance underway.
Sorry this one is running on; I'm catching up on a few things I'd already promised. Back up as soon as I can.
I'll also have a new shiplist that will fix the Beast PF problem.
-Herr Burt
-
Server is coming back up. There is a new shiplist, which you can find here.
ftp://www.fourpower.com/pub/Phase2B.zip
Unzip the txt file, and put it in your Assets/Spec and your MetaAssets folders.

-
i may be missing something, but it looks a little short..
edit: it looks like its missing all the cartel additions..
-
tried it manually, but file is same size, and it seems a bit small. no biggie, just not sure why it wont let us connect.
-
it shows to me all the Orion Cartels.,
-
Checking......
-
Yes, there was an error! I put the wrong shiplist in the zip file.
Try downloading again. It should work now. I just used the download to update my own game, and the server let me on.

BUMP
for those that cant FIND THE Phase 2B shiplist .....
It's been overtaken by replies, and is about a dozen posts up in this thread.
For ease of finding, here it is again: ftp://www.fourpower.com/pub/Phase2B.zip
It's also at the end of the EW Info thread. The latest updates will ALWAYS be at the end of thta thread, and should stay easy to find since I keep that one locked.
-Herr Burt
-
The server is back up. Took a long time this time, as I had a lot of trade routes to erase, replace, or revise.
You guys with the ghost accounts, check things out and let me know if you are OK now.
-Herr Burt
-
Almost forgot to tell you....It went down Saturday at Midnight for editing.
I'm done with the economic edits. Now I'm paying out bounties, and will look at Wyldefire's shiplist worry.
-Herr Burt
-
And then you will update the replys to the treasure hunt????
-

I believe I am now caught up on my treasure hunt replies. However, I have not received answers from KATBEARD in some time. So, if you sent me any clues, better send them again.
Remember: The treasure hunt is an individual effort! I've got a prize for each original cartel, but only one person (the first to solve the whole puzzle) can claim each.

Deadparrot said he was waiting , KATbeard is fine ;)

Ah, no worries then. Deadparrot's last answer had come in with a bunch of spam yesterday (somehow, for a BeastRaider, that's fitting.....) and I had missed it. I replied tonight, however.

Down for editing on Sunday night.
Still haven't heard from all four Overlords, so for now it is still going to go down all Monday starting at 8AM.
-Herr Burt.
-
I'm having a bit of trouble here. Someone pointed out a hex doing weird things, and when I try to edit it I corrupt the database.
I'm working the issue.
-Herr Burt
-
I haven't been able to fix the busted hex. It's still busted. However, if I leave it alone, the server runs.
I'll have another go tomorrow when I have more time. Maybe I can just edit out the hex and insert an old copy of it before it became busted.
-Herr Burt
-
I started another thread with this announcement, but then figured I better put it here today.
I did eventually hear from all four overlords last night. The server will remain up today.
Aaaaarrrrrr!
-Herr Burt
-
Perhaps tell us the hex so we can stay out of it?

C-racks on cruisers and many online piloting kittens
Captive Fed prisioners their fingers all bitten
Buxom young yeomen dressed in G-strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Fun roleplay threads and K Rolling's colorful doodles
Good strategy and tactics and my team using their noodles
Fun pilots that fly placing T-bombs on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Hondos nurses in white minis with blue satin sashes
Massaging me gently and coyly battling their lashes
Sexy purring on teamspeak that melts my heart strings
These are a few of my favorite things
When the games crashes
When the servers down
When Bethke's had strikes
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
-

Admin peeved at 2:56 central. :(
-Herr Burt
-
any idea when the server will be back up??? still down as of 6:06 p.m. eastern time :(
-
It was another machine crash, this time complete with a blue screen. The server is now up again.
Darned if I could find anything wrong with it. I did clean the database, which I didn't do last night.
*Remember not to attack hex 24,17.
*Remember not to remove any of the embassy hexes that belong to defunct cartels.
*If you are attacking any hex with a base in it, check to be sure that the empire and cartel ownership shows up properly. If it doesn't, stay out of the hex and let me know which hex it was.
So, I'm going to sit here and watch, and let's see what happens. Let's hope today's problems were just random failures.

Or make a new one with the same name under BeastRaiders?
