Hey all,
The meta data base is a little unstable and from time to time we have seen it delete people and then a few days latter they are back. This may just be a Meta problem that will correct itself. An email to CariElf would not hurt, but don't get parnoid, yet.

thanks PassingBye...

this isn't just a case of ppl disapearing,.... ALL the senators are now normal overloreds and it looks like we even lost one or two of them... and all out normal players (our backbone) were deleted....

one or 2 players sure... but no... this was 14 players... all in the same empire... and 7 playeers including myself got demoted from the senette ...

so 20 players all from the one empire ... sounds like it was deliberate to me....

Krazyhorse don't have nothing to do with that (mayito888 and Krazyhorse are the same), dunno what happened, seems like a problem with Metaverse database. Or one of the senators who are not active, just wanted to messed with our empire, In the past I promoted couple of people to senators, my mistake, I forgot to ask, but both were active players, that are still active today.

                    
#1253  by Citizen webnavigator - 2/6/2005 9:03:29 PM

Yeah... I was a Senator as well and got downed or something... I never added anyone to the senate and.... I sincerely hope the dude who did this, or the reason of this happening gets found out.

                      
#1254  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 2/6/2005 9:24:33 PM

when yesterday... ????

I know it wasn't krazyhourse ... as he was still ermpire free in the player listing... who ever did it , did it by accident or... has flesd back to another empire... or it was the DB error... either way it sucks... as it only effected out empire ... oer were other empires effected too...

just seems strange that it was only our empire which apears to have been hit...


Please everyone ... come back.... you weren't deleted on purpose... not legitimatly... not by me.... please don't let this wreck starfleet.. or your passion for the game

It appears that the new empire that Dark Griffin is trying to get started also lost about 4 players. I think he had 7 at one time. His new empire score has dropped significantly.

           
#1256  by Citizen Moser_Alchemist - 2/6/2005 9:34:29 PM

No, the reason TBA dropped is because I moved to IBH while the name thing is worked out. BTW, wasn't Jackey Jackey a GROSS pirate? He's now listed as no empire.

                            
#1257  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 2/6/2005 9:44:09 PM

Gross looks fine.... Jackey Jackey has been loose for a while now



                          
#1258  by Citizen Shawkhan - 2/6/2005 11:24:50 PM

...Guess I'll just have to hold my breath until we can find out for sure who did what.
...I think the Emperor should just stay the only one in charge until we find out the truth of this matter.
...Sounds like a plot from the old TV series, doesn't it?
...Oh well, at least we are all VERY active, hoho!

                      
#1259  by Citizen Krazyhorse - 2/6/2005 11:32:50 PM

There is something wrong with the Database, because since yesterday afternoon I have not been able to post any game, it shows that is going thru, but the results are not showing on my record or my twin (mayito8888).

when you finish what is your score on the endgame screen



                          
#1261  by Citizen Shawkhan - 2/6/2005 11:59:02 PM

...Merely stating an observation. As one of my favorites fictional heroes was wont to say, "Hypothesizing in advance of the facts is a Cardinal error."
...At least we are all now VERY active, hoho

                      
#1262  by Citizen Shawkhan - 2/7/2005 12:01:31 AM

...Perhaps tomorrow we can learn the truth.
...I remember when I played Utopia we had some problems with people using their friends' or siblings' computers to cause this kind of situation. Usually kids messing around.

We got to get back out 7th place

about 100,000 to find yet again



                          
#1264  by Citizen Chipperoo - 2/7/2005 12:19:14 AM

Qwerk, I'm really sorry this has happened to you and your empire. I hope that IF in fact this was a deliberate act, that whoever did it will be publically announced, and that they are banned from stardock.

Hopefully all players who were effected by this will return with no hard feelings. Again, I'm sorry this has happened.

                          
#1265  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 2/7/2005 12:20:48 AM

Lets show them all that StarFleet is still alive and kicking... screaming.... and can't be stopped....

9400 for a beginner military victory v 1.20

They should be able to find out. It does appear things are back to normal.

I for one have no problems NOT being a senator. It is best to have one Emperor for just this reason.

My 3rd game I lost, I cannot post the results and this is making me reconsider my desire to keep playing this game, if I cannot post the results of my games, then there is not reason to keep playing this game.

                    
#1269  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 2/7/2005 3:50:33 AM

check to make sure that you havn't got the email addresses mixed up between your accounts... and that your using the right user names...

and plz don't stop playing... there are these hickups every so often... generaly works out to be user error... and notr the servers... Others are still submitting games... so i don't think its that the server has taken a dislike to you... check your submition details and try again..
Another thing is that if you tryed submitting it under one name then tried to submit it again uyn der another name then it won't go on the second name...

it could aslo be that your using it from an old saved game which has already been submitted to the metaverse...

There are a multitude of things that could be going wrong...

Just going to try another game here and seeing if i can submit it... if i can then there is something happening your end thatr the server isn't liking... most likely one of the things i've already mentioned



                          
#1270  by Citizen PassingBye - 2/7/2005 5:30:03 AM

Tech was complaining that the server wasn't recognizing all the games he submitted either. Again, I think this may be a problem with the database. I too have at least one game that I cannot submit, and I have tried multiple time.

           
#1271  by Diplomat Peace Phoenix - 2/7/2005 6:15:52 AM

Tech was complaining that the server wasn't recognizing all the games he submitted either.

Well, Tech has also another problem: he is regenerating games id. So submitting a such game won't change his total, but will change the registration associated with the duplicate id. Just look at his record with 60K AP games on :
- 3/25/2003
- 7/11/2003
- 7/20/2003
- 11/8/2003
- 3/19/2004 (a 1.51 game between 2 1.49)
- 3/26/2004
- 5/6/2004
- 5/23/2004
- 5/26/2004



                          
#1272  by Diplomat Blue_Steel - 2/7/2005 7:26:18 AM

well i just submitted another game... with no hastles... seems to me that its to do with his end.. not the server... but then again I only have the ONE ID... not multiple...

it could be that the multiple ID's are confusing the DB...

I honestly haven't had any games that i couldn't submit...

I only ever play the random games and not custom maps or campaigns ...

I only use the STTC mods never use any others (most of my games are totaly standard

he could try re-installing with all fresh data files... deleting all the save files... as they may be corrupt

I also never play any of the GOTM or multiplayer hot seat games where they take turns...

All these games could have slight abnormalaties... with the saves... or corrupt saves even..


                          
#1273  by Citizen Rog1156 - 2/7/2005 7:58:57 AM

Oh crap just when we were doing so well

i hope this gets sorted soon

anyone have contact with lost members, err damn i'm just a lurker not a talker

later

Nope. few month ago there weren't any problem.

But you must take in account that:
- each a map is randomly generated, a random id is created
- this id defined uniquely per player a game for the metaverse

So if you are unlucky, or if the genration of the id isn't completly random, you can end with playing 2 games generated at different time, but that have the same id, and are considered by the metaverse as the same game.
