Title: Something Strange
Post by 99of9 on Jan 26^th, 2005, 3:20am

Hi Omar,

The server confused about who's turn it is in my game against Adanac. I've made my move, and it registered on the board, but on the list of games, it still shows a little red 5 next to my name.

If you're reading this Adanac - it's you turn.

Same thing with me and Adanac. Things seem to go backwards with him.

Omar there's another glitch since the server crash - the chat server has been down ever since.

Now I've got the same problem in my game against Belbo. It says it's his move, but it's actually mine.

I had the same thing happen on turn 3 with Robinson and now on turn 5 with Adanac. In both cases the gameroom shows it as my move while it is my opponents move.

Oops I forgot to restart the chat server after the crash. The chat room should be working OK now.

I am not exactly sure what caused the move display to get out of sync. But I put a deamon in place to check and update them once an hour if they are off.

The daemon still hasn't worked out that it's Adanac's turn.

Thanks for restarting the chat.

Clever play on words :)

I'm back from vacation now and I see red numbers beside my name in all 10 games so I assume that everything is wokring correctly now?

I guess there is still some glitch. It was my move against RonWeasley just now, even though the red number showed beside his name. Fortunately I read the e-mail notification that it was my move and didn't let my time run down.

Maybe there should be an extra "24 HOURS LEFT" e-mail notification for the postal games in case the red numbers (or other causes) seduce people into letting their clocks run down.

There is still a problem. It has been Anadac's move for several days, but the display shows me to move. This may be due to the fact that I had a Mozilla crash just as I submitted my last move.

It's a good thing I checked the forum! Wow, 4 days have ticked away on my clock :)

I thought I had fixed this. If it still is happening for anyone, please let me know through the 'Contact' page.

Something wierd is going on. I received an email notice that Mr. Brain had moved at 7:28pm and that it was now my move. I received an email notice at 8:48pm that I had won. I did not make a move inbetween those two times. The game room shows it is my move and we are on turn 13. When I click on the link the game opens up to start a new game.

And just now bomb got a move on an empty board against mrbrain.

I checked the bomb-mrbrain postal game in the postal game page, and it shows a setup move. Omar, please restore the bomb-brain game to its former position.

Post by fotland on Mar 13^th, 2005, 12:57pm

I got an e-mail saying that bomb had won the game against mrbrain, but it doesn't show up in bomb's revent games list.

I have the same problem as Keith with my game with MrBrain. I got the email notification that he made his move at 4:12 am, at 5:46 am I got an email that said:

> Belbo has won the game against MrBrain.
>
> MrBrain made the move on:
> Sun 5:46 am YLT

The game is still in the gameroom under "My Current Games", but when I click on my name (to make my move) it only shows an empty board.

Yep, I think this must've happened to everyone.

Title: Re: Something Strange
Post by omar on Mar 17^th, 2005, 9:11pm

What had happened is that originally, MrBrain had not made the setup move in those game for several days and my cron job had tossed out those games. I changed the cron job and restored the games, but I forgot to restore one parameter that is used to authenticate the game. After MrBrian resigned all the games they did not get transfered to the finished games table because the auth parameter was not set right. So I went into the database and fixed it. They should show up now.

Now it seems bomb-brain is listed in current games again!
