Just as I finished typing something up on it.

Please kindly /kick it back, thank you :P

so did earth:/

earth works. bc not so much

earth doesn't work for me.. i keep getting a "too many requests" message. lol

no, guess it's working now for earth..

Awww but i cant spam with no bc. Just have to spam here instead

server was being physically moved to a new place in the host's house

everything should be back up and fine

lol ... if only we had enough people here to cause that

some1 was ddossing ee? too many wikileaks stories at gen. talk. :P

haha... well no, the "too many requests" message is actually an internal game message meant to prevent people from trying to do two actions at the same time; ie you have to be finished putting goods on the market before you can i dunno... put more goods on the market...

this was to prevent the lag-induced cheating that could happen in earth2025, and was replicated once or twice on EE's server early on... like attacking multiple times per turn or submitting the same goods to market multiple times...


however, one consequence of lag now is that if one request hangs, the server may wait for it to finish for a while (up to 30s i think) and you won't be able to "do" anything in your country, until that thread dies. But that's pretty rare; and it's a pretty good solution to the lag-cheats that could happen.

but still we can attack many times inside few secs.

correct... but it queues them up and doesn't start #2 until #1 is done... that sort of idea...

attacks really only take like <50-100ms to process depending on a bunch of things, but repeated attacks on the same target should actually get quicker than that due to caching of much of the lookup info... and at 50ms per request that would be 20 attacks per second that your country could do before you started hitting the wall


oh and it will only serve up the "too many requests" message if it times out for >1s basically

boxcar/nor earth is showing news.. :(
