UPDATE: We've stuck the game on the old server. Dave has extended the ATOC stage 6 transfer deadline by an hour. So you should be able to make your transfers.
Hope that helps
Seems to be back on the older server
We've switched back to the old server.
you should be able to see the site soon, if you can't wait you can go to http://109.104.88.11
I've extended the transfer window for an hour so's people can get transfers in. i'm aware that it's not ideal but the only ideal scenario is the one where the server hasn't fallen over. if people miss this, we can sort out their transfers if they've commented above
not really. what's a brand new server irreperably falling over after a few hours online got to do with the decision to charge for premium? We would have had to move the server anyway. what happened to the server is unclear; there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it and so we couldn't have anticipated it would fail in this way, it's not something the tech guys at the hosting company have ever seen before so far as i can tell.
right, now the giro scores
Thanks, works now : )
Always impressed with people who can break servers in new and interesting ways
Transfers done but I felt under pressure - just have to hope I've done OK
Cheers,
Simon
Good job...now, what were stage 13 scores then ?
How is extending the deadline fair on those who got their transfers in?
I could just pick the guys in the break now...
Yeah but just don't
It's the ToC, not the Giro, there's no major prizes, it's just for fun. I made my transfers this morning, I couldn't care less. I'd rather everyone have it fair and be able to make their transfers.
you could do, not a day to rely on points from riders in the break though i don't think
full disclosure:
what happened was that we moved the game over to a new server. two servers in fact: one for the game and one for the database.
that all worked fine but for some reason the RAID controller sorting all the data onto the four discs in the server went haywire and screwed it all up in a way that wasn't recoverable. that's unusual to the point where the tech guy said he'd never seen it before, lucky old us.
the new server's a stopgap ahead of us running two front end servers, load balanced and failed over so that if one breaks the other will still work. that should be up and running next week. typically this failure would have gone unnoticed if it had just waited a few days...
anyway, that's all for now. i'm writing this from a car park somewhere outside newtown in mid wales where i've been sat for the last 2hrs trying to sort it all out. time for wine i think.
Well done Dave. Don't drink too much. You might mess up your transfers. LOL
If the servers are in Wales......Blame the sheep, nothing else for it
Still can't get on to it
http://109.104.88.11/transfers - This is the link you need
I can't access the game at all
Phew - thanks for the link
this is how I feel because I can not get access to Fantasy! Wow is me! I'll try the link I saw in another post
i still cant get on
still cant access game.
used the supplied link, but cant request a forgotten password, says access DENIED!!!
Hippy I was not able to access via the normal link but was able to get in via http://109.104.88.11
Haven't tried it yet tho.
Yep access looks like it is restored for me
Still knackered for me
Worked for me a few minutes ago and got my transfers in for GdI. I think about 10mins until transfer deadline
Its been working since about 7/8ish last night (UK time) for me anyway
should be available on http://109.104.88.11 even if it's not available at fantasy.road.cc - had to switch back to the old server and that takes time to propagate
Thanks for the ling - too late for the Giro sadly
Arrg losing points here !!
Been working since about 9:30 last night but put in my Giro transfers then rather than waiting. Luckily I did my TOC transfers that morning as I missed the deadline for the first Stage myself and didn't want to do it again.
