Can a Mod look at Game 13397547?
Team 1 is now going back to back! Not good for the finals in a tournament!

On a side note, good job on the quick fix!

Good for me in one respect - I totally screwed up a winning turn with a mistake in reading the map. Now I get another shot at it! :lol:

sorry, went to look at it but the player had already moved. this can happen if the turn is taking place during the backup process. our records show there was very low usage at the time of this backup, so you just got unlucky here. hopefully it won't impact the result.

Great job with the quick fix, guys. Stressful, indeed.

As much as I love and obsess over this place, at the end of the day it's just a game.

Thanks for all you do.

Not to worry.

It is too easy to forget that a physical copy of the games exist and we take it for granted the game will always be available. It is a bit like electricity, clean water and sewage!

Well done on the recovery.
