Why the fuck was this thread locked?
threadID=992944

He asked a general question about crashed games and if they were recoverable or restartable. He didn't ask about a specific game. Who the fuck locked it?

Let's keep it bumped up to the top until they lock it then restart it if necessary. If we get silenced for it, we can always appeal to Kestas as this was clearly a stupid decision on some mod's part ot lock the other thread. They are human and make mistakes, btu they can own up to them and they can unlock threads (I happen to know this for a fact as they have admitted it in the past).

do you think they will ever answer the question?

There isn't a single game I am in that is processing and its been awhile. Perhaps they are working on finding the solution/answer.

lukebohannon20 I suggest you email the mods. These "Send All Pause requests to [email protected]" includes a note about also sending crashed games reports to [email protected].

Draug, I'm trying to unpause games and uncrash games during a lecture in the basement of a building with wifi cutting out every 30 seconds, kindly shut up. Yes, my mistake, I misread that thread as a request to unlock a specific game.

Kestas can uncrash games when he knows why they are crashing.

Jmo, pay attention to your lecture!
Draugnar (0 DX)
03 Apr 13 UTC
And that was all the OP of the other thread asked. Now was that so difficult? I am sorry if you are modding instead of paying attention to your lecture but if you can't give it 100% perhaps you should wait until you can to do any modding. Locking a thread that didn't break any rules then getting upset at the person who pointed out your error is rather immature.
jmo1121109 (3812 D)
03 Apr 13 UTC
Threatening to break site rules and encouraging others to do so is a tad bit of an overreaction and technically a silence-able offense. Me being wrong or not. There was no reason to act like an asshole so I decided to reply in kind. If everyone asks questions or requests an unpause here every mod has to check every thread to see if it's been answered. Locking threads for now with the message "send all unpause/uncrash reports to [email protected] makes it easier for us to help everyone out.

To clarify your confusion though, any questions or reports of cheating or bugs can be locked.

"Rarely self-moderation isn't enough; e.g. threads which share information on a private / anonymous / gunboat game, or threads about suspected multi-accounters / meta-gamers / bugs.

These have a negative impact on games which self-moderation can't prevent, so the mod team can lock/silence these threads:"

"Don't create new accounts to work around user silences, or post threads to continue on from ones which have been silenced! This may result in bans etc, which would be worse than simply keeping off the forum for a few days. "

Hi Draug, as you can tell, currently a lot of things are in quite a mess right now, with many games having crashed since the recent update. We're doing our best to get things sorted out to make it easier for Kestas to diagnosis and fix the problem.

Hey now. Did a mod just accuse me of threatening to cheat? I did *no* such thing. I said we should bump this and keep it at the top until we got a response. And if we got silenced that we should appeal to Kestas. I never suggested creating a new account to get aroudn the silence nor spamming the forum.

And what rule, exactly, did the original thread break? It wasn't a cheating accusation. It didn't talk about an ongoing game of any sort. And it wasn't even a request to fix or unpause a game. IT was, honestly, a very direct question about the issue in general that would seem *best* answered ont he forum so they wouldn't have to answer it a hundred times,: once for each n00b.

@Draug

The mods and Kestas are currently very busy trying to keep the server functioning. In their haste, occasional mistakes are made. Clearly, this issue has been resolved and they are working on more important things. If you would kindly shut the fuck up and let them attend to actual problems, I'm sure it would be appreciated.

LOL! Abge. I wasn't the one who accused someone of threatening to cheat. But I'm good with it. I thought it had been resolved and didn't post again until I read JMO's post reading me the riot act for something I didn't do.
uclabb (589 D)

Draug, this

"Let's keep it bumped up to the top until they lock it then restart it if necessary"

is threatening to cheat as jmo pointed out, quoting this rule:

"Don't create new accounts to work around user silences, or post threads to continue on from ones which have been silenced!"

You did threaten to cheat. That is all.

I didn't notice the "post new to continue on" My apologies. I noticed the "Don't create new accounts" and thought that was the accusation. Sorry, Jmo. I misunderstood the quote as only really referring tot he second part.

By the way, that is how you apologize for a mistake. ;-)

Might I suggest one of the mods go ahead and lock this thread? Problems have been resolved and the question of crashed games answered. JMO admits he made a mistake locking the other thread. I admit I misread where I was potentially suggesting we break the rules (I had never noticed that part of the rules before either). So we can just do away with it before the real trolls keep bumping it back up. I hate that this post bumps it up.

Improper and unlawful execution of an act that in itself is lawful and proper.

"Who the fuck locked it?"

Do you have any doubt? When a mod action is taken, I just assume it was jmo until told otherwise. The guy's an unstoppable workhorse. By his own admission, this site takes precedence over RL, no matter what trials and tribulations he has to go through to deal with our frustrating community:

"I'm trying to unpause games and uncrash games during a lecture in the basement of a building with wifi cutting out every 30 seconds,"

Game is still on Pause Mode
I am currently in a game called world wide gunboat! - 28. A player was removed for duplicate accounts and the game has been in pause mode since. Everyone has submitted their orders and is ready for the next phase, but it is not moving on. Many players are voting to unpause as well. Is this a fluke? I am confused as to why the game is still in pause mode.
