Lucifer | 68.105.33.124

Looks like someone dun fucked up.

There are no breaches in my TWGS or home network. TWGS Admin ports are not even reachable outside of my network’s local Linux server, which only has SSH open. And if you know anything about SSH, you know it’s tight.

So here are the logs of the offender. Let me know if you recognize the IP via the forums…

Ran out of disk space. I forgot I’m only on a 12gig drive.

Chess v2 is over already, by mutual agreement, and plenty of screwups to go around. 🙂

Rebang is scheduled for 9pm eastern time, Thursday December 18th, with a few changes. I’m getting a terrific response already, so this is looking like it will be a big one!

IMPORTANT NOTE: I don’t care how many actual people are on your team. You can play alone with 4 accounts, or have 4 real people each playing 1 account. The bottom line is you get 4 accounts per team, no megacorping. Standard chess rules apply – please see https://twchess.coastgames.com for the full list of edits, settings, and rules for Chess v2.

You must have your team of 4 ready to go by Wednesday the 17th, at 9pm. Each CEO should email me (brian_c_massey@yahoo.com) with the 4 trader names and passwords.

I will select a dead end under an ore selling port to place your King Castle in. Each non-ceo player will start the game on the King Castle citadel, and each CEO will start in a Castle Wall sitting over the King Castle.

UPDATE: GAME BANGING AT 7pm THURSDAY NIGHT.

It’s time for some big bangage. I plan to bang just one, but sweet, game called “Santa’s Helpers”. Based on Red Alert by Fuseblown!

Speaking of Santa’s Helpers… (Not Safe for Work)

Merry Christmas!!

This is just the stuff fixed so far. There could be more…

Bug: Some ports were inaccessible in games with bubbles.
Fix: The problem was created when tunnel sectors were scrambled during
bigbang. It has been resolved.

Bug: The number of active ports reported in the startup menu game stats
screen only allows 4 digits.
Fix: The display now shows 5 digits.

Change: Added global Delete Mail command, ‘:’.

NONPSERV Bug: When multiple Gold races exist within a game, it is possible for two races to have overlapping homespace areas.
Fix: Gold aliens test for existing homespace before claiming a sector for their homespace.

NONPSERV Change: Gold aliens that control planets will now evict players from any planet they control. A check for players is done each time an alien lands on a controlled planet.

Bug: For timed games that run extern at midnight, extra time is being allocated to a player who is online at midnight.
Fix: This has been fixed, and a change has been made to reset game time at midnight. Game time will no longer carry over if a player is online at midnight.

Bug: Fighters in a sector are sometimes truncated to 50,000 after an attack by a player or an alien.
Fix: The fighters are no longer trunctated to 50,000, even if there is not a planet in the sector.

Bug: If a player transfers 0 credits to another player, a message is generated. This has been exploited as a means to spam other players.
Fix: You now must transfer 1 or more credits before a message is generated.

Bug: It is possible to scan for StarDock using the Nav menu.
Fix: StarDock will not appear on the Nav menu until it has been visited.

Change: Internal Ferrengi and Alien Traders must be activated or deactivated during Bigbang. They can no longer be toggled from TEDIT.

Bug: When a player is podded while attacking a planet, a pause allows the player to remain with the planet instead of being ejected back into space.
Fix: The pause is no longer used whenever a player is repelled from the planet.

Bug: It is possible to exchange ships with a player who is not in the Citadel.
Fix: The game checks to verify that the player is still in the Citadel before completing the exchange.

I’m swapping out the SugarCube server for more important tasks. The new machine, “Phade”, will take it’s place. Transition should be quick.

We lose another quality server…
