it looks like a game took an especially long time to process for some reason, so it could never finish the process

I've increased the time which it has to process in, so this shouldn't happen again

Sorry if you recieved loads of redundant messages over and over

It looks like while I've been gone the new hosting provider has set everything up, so when I get back in a few days I'll transfer it across to phpdiplomacy.net

(By the way we arrived at our destination just in time to catch cyclone Isabelle. It has been one of /those/ vacations :) )

Eep, looks like it has been stuck for a while, so now that it finally started the process it detected all games in civil disorder, so there are no games being played in at the moment.

Sorry for the inconvenience, at least this sort of thing can't happen in 0.75

I couldn't get in for about 5 days. I kept getting the message Ralyndi listed. Oh well.

Can't you reset the database to 5 days ago?

That would be good, and would work for some reasons.
However, since the games have all closed themselves, it would require a whole backup being reloaded, which i doubt exists.
NEW GAMES!!!

I actually won a game through this somehow, while everyone else went civil disorder.

me too.

Well, I was about to win 4 games, and now I didn't win even 1. So I'd like a reset.

Heh, I lost all my games (even the ones I was just about to win), but some people won because they were simply the last to go into disorder...

Oh well, glad it's all back up!

Is it in backup? I probably wouldn't have won a lot of those games, but I'd still like to have continued them.

I would like a reset if possible, but otherwise I don't mind that much. I randomly won a game, that could've gone either way, but I wasn't doing too badly. But in one game, I was almost assured a win at near 18 SC, and it just ended and abandoned lol. I'm curious as to how this happens. Another game could've gone either way and was abandoned which is alright, but I was doing quite well in that one as well.

I won a game where i had the smallest nation i had just taken over. So, sorry FD for that!
The game ending stuffs really should be looked at, and i hope to do that when i attack Kestas's source code :)

What happened is some game adjudication took especially long to run, once it took over 10 seconds it reached the time limit and stopped, and the database reverted.
This happened again and again, using up loads of resources so my old host ended up limiting my account.
After a few days I logged on and increased the amount of time, so the process could finish. Because the code section that logs users on wasn't reached for so long it appeared like no-one had logged on for days, so everyone went in civil disorder, and all the games were counted as abandoned.

Because the gamemaster code is now separate from the rest of the code (it's run in the image at the bottom) this can't happen, and gamemaster bugs can't bring down the whole thing like they used to.
