Title: Game Disappearing
Post by mdk on Jun 8^th, 2007, 5:59pm

I was just playing against bot Clueless2005P2 and it was move 42 or 43 i believe. I attempted to play the winning move (move my rabbit to the 8th row) and when I clicked send the server said that the game id was invalid. Shortly afterwards the game disappeared from the gameroom and there was no evidence at all that I had ever played the game that i can find. It is not under my live games or recent games and my streak hasnt changed and neither has my rating (yes the game was rated). I've never experienced this before and I was wondering if this was a known problem with the server or just a fluke incident.

To avoid confusion, the game I played against just before this one against clueless was a different game. The game which disappeared disappeared around 6:45pm edt.

I think I tried to log in about this time but couldn't make the connection. I'm inferring the server went down. There was once talk about bots or Slytherins causing this as a way of cheating, but Clueless does not have this capability.

Parkinson once turned a Hufflepuff's broom into an eel during a quidditch match. As punishment, Madam Hooch made her kiss the eel 100 times. I felt really bad for the eel.
