Host Delay - 6 Hours![]() Thursday, July 21, 2011 There will be a 6 hour host time delay for games hosting today due to the downtime experienced over the past few hours on the website. We are adjusting our monitoring programs to ensure that an extended delay like this does not happen again without an admin present. The problem that occurred is an easy one to resolve unfortunately both qualified admins were away from the keyboard and unaware of the problem.

So enjoy your extra free time ;) sunder - Friday, July 22, 2011 1:15 AM Hmm, turn processed? 1 early, 1 late? The early one was probably everyone turning their turn in, but the late one was only 2 hours late, and someone missed a turn this round lame duck - Wednesday, July 27, 2011 4:27 PM Apparently this 6 hours delay caused another occurrence of the 'jumping host'. I have two games and each had a glitch of the next host to run. Only one of these games was hosted on a Thursday. The Thursday game appears to be on schedule again but I only realised now what happened to my other game. incanus217 - Thursday, November 17, 2011 10:53 AM 18 hours I have been unable to run host nor has host run on any games. Having just pay'd three days ago to become a member, can someone please tell me that I did not purchase a VGA LEMON! 18 out of the 72 hours I have owned this LEMON, I have been unable to run host on any solo game, unable to run host on a blitz game, and nor has host run on any of my two multi-player games! I'm more than a little concerned at this point, can someone please reassure me that this event is not the norm or even the semi-norm.

And as stated the staff will now take measures to avoid this in the future. Don't be too pessimistic ... enjoy this great game. emork the lizard king - Thursday, November 17, 2011 12:01 PM Haha ... I just realized that this is the staff statement concering the *last* big down time and not the actual one. Seems the anounced measures could be improved.
