ADVANCE WARNING OF EXTENDED RESET
by Hazed
Alan has asked me to tell you that one day next week he is going to be taking a major offsite backup of the game’s data files. He can’t do this while the game is running, because the files are constantly being updated, so he will stop the game from firing up again after the reset.
Normally, the reset takes about 10 seconds. If the backup all goes smoothly, it will take a minute or so; if it doesn’t go smoothly, maybe up to 10 minutes.
He doesn’t know which day this will happen yet, but he will post a message on the board on the day.
I know this is all very vague, but that’s entirely in character for Alan!
