Round 31+ Proposed Downtime Procedure
The following is the proposed new downtime procedure for next round and the future.
Pros:
-Simple
-No fleets recalled
-Time to sort out defence calls etc
Cons:
-Time for defence, scans + covert ops to occur
-Possible confusion over defence calls
Planned Downtimes
These will be announced at the time.
-Aim to announce at least 48 hours in advance
-Stop ticker, close game
-Reopen game unmodified, restart ticker
-Promise to have a 24 hour downtime if less than 24 hours notice is given
Unplanned Downtimes
If less than 1 tick is affected, no action is taken.
If one or more ticks are affected:
-Game is rolled back to last unaffected backup (< 1 hour after game has come back up)
-Game is reopened "as is" (i.e. no fleet recall)
-Ticks restart 24 1/2 hours after backup was taken (i.e. 24 ticks have been missed)
-e-mails / IRC messages can be sent to Appoco/Cin to update vacation mode and recall a fleet / prelaunch ALL fleets if the game is down and the user cannot stay to access the game. This is a BEST EFFORTS service and not a guarentee that we will do as requested
