Downtime?

Was there a major downtime or anything yesterday from 19:30 to 23:00 central european time? I could not reach kdice.com from several computers and IPs (well, it said the server took too long to answer) while having no problems reaching other sites in several domains.

I think I had that 2k won when I lagged out, too bad. My thanks to the guys at the table, you did not dom-fuck me, as I only lost 570 points finishing 7th (or all of you lagged as well and I was just unlucky to be the one lagging first ;-)).

I remember you connecting through me, and at your last roll everything got froze. I thought it was just me but yes the whole site was down for more than 5 hours.

every time the site goes down for several hours while im continually mashing F5 on the forums, i keep thinking of this scene:

and it makes me feel good. well, Ryan finally shut us down cus he couldnt take any more of our bitching. always knew he could make it, walk away from this shit show. good for him!

and i get a genuinely warm fuzzy feeling.

fyi, they had a malfunction at the server host so it was a problem that Ryan couldn't fix himself

and i think the player who is playing when the site crashes normally lags first and gets 7th

so games that finish with everyone lagging at the same point should just be cancelled imo, no winners no losers

Well Jurgen, thanks for the explanation. Yes Fonias, I did connect through you and almost lost all selfcontrol when I did not fuck up the finishing 5v4... So you guys weren't as nice as I thought (or didn't have the chance to be) ;-)

Nulling games like that would be nice, but I think it'll be hard to do - and those finishing 1st might have a different view on this ;-)

it should even out a bit over time: I've lost some points in lags like this and I gained some too.

Luck does even out for many and in average. I've never been average, so I don't expect that to happen ;-)
