This is what I heard from the top brass. Everyone who feels they lost a game due to the Sunday's crash should explain in 100 words or more, written in crayon on a 3x5 card their specific situation. Just stick it in the mailbox, dude will know where to take it. Assuming CC agrees with your claim (and can actually read it), they'll send you a coupon for a free ham sandwich. If you're vegan, then you can have a lettuce and mustard one instead.
That seems more than fair to me.

PLease be sure it is a GOLD crayon if you are premium, or a SILVER one if you are a freebie. that helps CC Mgt to prioritize.

How about all those games I was going to lose....and then started to lose even though there was a crash? Ridiculous!!! Step up CC and give these losers an advantage by dropping the servers! Namely, me!

Do you think you can throw in my name to that letter, I had some bad dice a few(hundred) times and I feel I should get a few compensation points. 500 or so will do. You can add it in the 'P.S.'
Thanks!

He isnt saying anything about bad dice,what he is saying is that when u miss a turn it affects u and ur team very much.I am in a dubs tourney and my partner missed 7 out 8 turns in 8 games.It gave the other team an advantage.But shit happens and we all were affected by it in some way or another.There is nothing they can do about it because servers are not perfect and have flaws.So lets just move on and hope next time its the other player or team that misses the turns.

I didn't say that poster said anything about bad dice....that was a complaint all on it's own, and it was also a bit of a joke. ha. ha.
Sucks for those team/tourney games, sucks for most any games. Hey, in their defense they DID add that 12 hours on, it was as much as they could do.

but the extra 12 hours still couldn't help the people who already lost their turn during the down time, the extra hours were only added to the turns still running

I understand that, which is why I said it was the best they could do. It still sucks for those who missed turns at crucial times in their games.

The dice comparison is, none the less, very good. People complain about the dice. What do we do? We tell them to get over it. What else do we say? We remind them that, for every person that gets hosed by the dice, somebody else gets over on that same batch and that everyone is always quick to complain about one side but not recognize the other.
Well, guess what. This is the same, exact thing. Those who got screwed by the shut down were unlucky. For every one of them, somebody else got over. Maybe, perhaps, some of the same people who got screwed this time got the better end of the deal last time this happened. Of course, that's ancient history, right?
So, I understand you want to get your boy's back, but that doesn't change the fact that this basically amounts to complaining about luck and that is always going to fall on deaf ears around these parts.

The Fuzzy Penguin quietly waddles up to a podium and reaches in his backpack.
He then pulls out a scroll that appears to be from lackattack himself.
He unrolls the scroll, clears his throat, and begins to read aloud for all to hear....

My understanding of the events is this: something went wrong at the hosting company, and they switched to backup generator, which caused a problem with cooling fans, which made the temperature rise, which cased a filesystem error on our database server's, which caused the data to be corrupted and the database engine to crash. I was out of town and only became aware of this when the hosting company called me hours later, at which point they began to restore the database from a backup which thank-god was taken only about an hour before the site went down.
The game is back up, but over the next hour or so we'll be running additional repair processes on the forum data so some forum functions may not work for the next little while. The Game Logs for archived games need to be repaired - and that takes some time - so they may be missing for several days. Other than that I'm hopeful we'll have everything back up and running normally.
As for missed turns, I just added 12 hours to the round time of each active game. Unfortunately this time extension will not help everyone - if a game has already undergone an "end-of-round check" and someone missed a turn - it's too late and it can't be undone. I've never done this before so I hope there are no side-effects!
If you were in a speed game that was interrupted by the downtime, please open a support ticket from the Help page and we may delete it (reversing the points). All casual games will continue.I'm really sorry about this. I'll keep you all posted of any developments and I'll be following this up with the hosting company and with myself to see how we can better handle such mishaps in the future.
The Fuzzy Penguin then rolls up the scroll, timidly walks off the stage, and the lights fade to black.

My first post in months where I did not allude to Twill's unjustifiable warning, and I get called out on it by a clan mate! HEE-LARIOUS...But then I didn't say anything about keeping the stacks seperate but equal. I was trying to cut Twill a break, since I am sure he had a rough few days.

Well at least your letting out your childish rage. Breath in deep...now out...in...now out...in...now out. Therapy is good for the soul, now just let it out over something no one could help or for see you'll feel so much better.

sometimes i really hate cc, especially in occasions like this one. In this break down I lost 300 points and in 20 8-players-games I missed turn cuz of break down. Games were escalating and we were in 9th turn, and everybody who play esc knows that then u can change cards for 40 or more. Instead of winning 5-6 games and getting 300-400 points, I lost more then 300 points. It's really lousy. Sorry on complaining but i'm really pissed of
