- at0mix: hello everyone! I just went to work and got sick. the temperature is a severe headache. I ask you to suspend the party for ONE turn titan 19 and North Star 14
- Dahoudaboudadoudawou: Hey Certainly agreed. Titan is paused already anyway.
- Tulgas: No problem here. Hope you get better soon. Take care!
- streu: done, in case it's still needed. Otherwise, just mark your turns completed. --Stefan
- at0mix: thank you all - I needed one day. Now I am ready to fight with colleagues in my right mind and in full health!

29/Sep/2022 Vacation break (Titan 19)
- Terraner: Streu, same here as for Flak1. I kindly ask to pause the game until 10 Oct. My turn for the next host run is already in. Thx. Terraner
- Dahoudaboudadoudawou: Agreed again
- Terraner: thx Dahou
- streu: Done.
28/Sep/2022 Remarks on FLAK? (FLAK 1)
- streu: I have spent quite some commutes now pondering how to embed it in VPA, then it came to me: You need not restore entire old turns. All you need to keep separately is the flakX.dat files, e.g. renamed ...
- Zergio: Once I took part in the game with TKF addon. It was funny. As far as I understood, the FLAK is almost the same. So, this type of games must go on! The only think I would suggest is obligatory mixing ...
- snouka: Neat. Is this gonna get me into trouble? This is the result after your visit on my Starbase, Stefan
- streu: Interesting... Officially, PHost should be able to deal with that and eventually trim it down. However, if you're transferring those fighters around, this trimming will get the universe out of ...
- snouka: My guts told me to not touch anything there, and I already submitted my turn - it's green. So I guess I will be fine. Echoview shows the fighters too. They must have appeared out of thin air, since ...
27/Sep/2022 Pause for holidays (FLAK 1)
- at0mix: my age is not conducive to active recreation. and my message is not a disagreement to stop the game - it's just my opinion.
- Dahoudaboudadoudawou: Certainly agreed, enjoy your time off
- streu: I have activated the pause. Given that you're not on the road yet, I hope that you (and everyone else!) can still get their turns in so we can have a Thursday host run.
- Terraner: No hard feelings.
- Terraner: Thanks Stefan. I have already submitted my turn.

07/Jul/2022 Unplanned outage

Hi there, there was an unplanned server outage this night. This means the server was down when the hosts for Titan 19 and North Star 14 where due. Since there were turns still missing, I skipped those hosts. If you ...

Hi, I plan to upgrade some software components this Friday, March 25th (after the Thursday host runs). Unlike most upgrades, this one will take a few minutes, so the server will be down for a while.
