OOC-Chapter 4-The Longest Day-General Discussion

[Mr. Handy]

Actually, most of the character deaths have been due to human action (or inaction) on some level. The fatal shot was to Mei Ling's heart, but the killer can still put a bullet in her head.

I moved Weekend in the Country to the Hall of Fame.

Now I feel that I owe it to Mei's fellow prisoners to help free them and consequently I will go back to the cell block as Zoe Gallagher.

Hitch didn't kick the bucket? Hopefully the chance will come to give him a good boot.

[Mr Zombie killer]

thank you.
Tabs I have my eye on helping you out sometime once one of my characters bite the dust.

[Mr. Handy]

You're welcome.

Mei Ling didn't notice that Hitch survived because her player just assumed he was dead. That Spot Hidden roll was to see if she noticed he was still breathing.

[Tabs]

Mr Zombie Killer, you had better join the prisoners soon, at the rate they are expiring under my stewardship there shan't be any girls left.

[Mr. Handy]

Only one of them is dead, and the others haven't even been injured yet. I'm sure you've learned from your mistakes as Mei Ling, and you'll do better this time around. Nice picture for Zoe! I've already put it on her character sheet. I'll let you know when she wakes up.

[Mr Zombie killer]

Quick Question.
This really does not have to do anything with the game per say but I was wondering: it used to be before yesterday that when I logged in I could check keep me logged in and I would not have to reenter my user name and password everytime I came back here. Now for some reason that check box is gone when I log in and so everytime I come back I have to enter in the info and it kind of aggrevites me. So I was just wondering why that box got removed?

[Mr. Handy]

I don't know, but it might have something to do with the fact that the site was moved to a new server yesterday. That's also probably why the times on this site are now about 15 minutes too early.

[Mr Zombie killer]

So you are saying that they will fix it by and by? cool it just kind of annoyed me that everytime I came back to the site I had to enter in my user name and password. I mean usually I have to do that every week or 10 days but not every hour or so you know?

[ImpInTraining]

I really don't see how a new server would cause that to happen. The php software looks for the cookie file on the user's computer and that is how it tells if someone has been logged in, or needs to log in. As long as the software is the same before and after the move, then there really shouldn't have been any impact on our state of being logged in.

Seems more to me to be a case of a configuration change.

[Mr. Handy]

Yeah, when they set it up on the new server the configuration settings may have been different. I'm not familiar enough with phpBB to know what they did. I don't know when they'll fix it. I always log on manually every time myself, so I didn't notice any difference there.

[Tangerine]

Did you change your security settings for your internet browser?

[Mr Zombie killer]

I did not make any changes on my internet browser.

[Mr Zombie killer]

It came back. That was weird.

[ImpInTraining]

That was because someone complained in The Lounge to carnage_lee and he waved his magic wand to fix it.

I bet I'm the first to post in 2 days
I hope this problems is solved quickly. I need my daily dose of CoC. Actually, several doses.

[ImpInTraining]

Wasn't it just the link between America and UK that caused the site outage? I don't think the Brits were bothered at all by the down time. But this is the first time in 2 days for me too...

Whoops, my bad. I just saw the note from the admin saying it was a bad router.

Huh, and someone from my site said they logged in yesterday and made an account. I wonder how?

[Mr. Handy]

Maybe they meant yog-sothoth.com instead?

Well, we're back up and running! At last the stars are right and eldritch horrors from distant aeons are free to ravage the Earth and make it their own once more. I had planned to update on Wednesday, but it'll have to be tonight instead. If I can't finish all the sections tonight, I should be able to get the rest tomorrow. Plus, it's a 3-day weekend for me, so it's likely there will be further updates. I may also have more time for the rest of next week than I usually do.

[Dave Syrinx]

Good thing I´ve got some other games at various sites . All these attempts to access ...org.uk cost me 2/1d6 SAN loss!
Whatever happened to @yog??? Is my keyboard broken? Did I mistype? Did FRA shut it down? WHAT!?

Great to see you´re all still here .
Probably it´s all for the best, a natural 01 at the castle, gives me high hopes for the future!

Over and out, Syrinx

[Mr. Handy]

The router failed. Carnage_lee posted an announcement about it when the site came back up.

Excellent roll! With that result, Emilio will do the work of three people, shortening the time needed to repair the generator considerably and probably saving several lives as a result.
