You have a mySQL database error.

Code:
Warning: mysql_close(): 1 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/eealking/public_html/index.php on line 191

It looks like it has also wiped users, because when I tried to login, it said non-existant username.

Looks like it has crashed :(

EDIT: Now, I am the only one in the game.

True that. Will we have to make new accounts or do you plan to be able to restore the old?

Refer to the post above.

Just wondering... What actually happened to the last game?

>Just wondering... What actually happened to the last game?

Stupid balancing resulted in everyone dieing instantly. Under the new rules, if you were to spend all your Eeal on defense at the start of the game, and every other player spent all their Eeal on Offense, you would survive. (And they would all be killed by each others offense of course)

The second game, with corrected rules, has started.

I'm glad the three of you are still willing to help.

Yeah it's a little depressing, but I was expecting to lose almost everyone after that last attempt >.>

Won't let me sign up, "the game has started".

I just tested with another account and this happened to that aswell.

The game has started. However, nothing has actually happened yet so anyone who wants to join, can still PM me a username and password and I will add them to the database manually.

However, that offer is only good until about 9:15 tonight since things will happen at noon tomorrow.

Is the site down at the moment? I can't get on it.

The server was down when the script tried today (Noon, July 14) to run I think (I can see that is going to be a problem, the servers get reboot every few days, or more). However, everything seems to be working nicely now. The script ran at ~3:00 PM instead.

You guys are all alive, Draphoelix and Roku are showing the effects of not doing anything for two days though. I had to use a ~7:30 AM backup at ~1:00 PM on Sunday though, so if you made a movement in that time range, please alert me and I will correct for it.

EDIT: Ooo we were moved to the games forum, that was a good idea :)

No, Noon, like its supposed to. Unless the server is being rebooted at Noon again. In which case I will make the script run between Noon and 1 PM.

Is this still going?

It hasn't run for a few days.

Yes it has, it just hasn't done anything to any of you because of your defense. XD

It's more economic to leave it in Pure than to put it on defensive..?

No, because having defensive means people can't hit your pure eeal and you live.

Well the game didn't end instantly this time o.o. It doesn't seem to want to end at all now. I really appreciate the help guys. As soon as this game ends (mostly I'm asking you guys if you think you hit a stalemate >.>), I'll try and tinker with a few things.

If this game is going to do anything, I think you are going to have to just end it. Nothing has happened for like a few weeks now :p

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New dessert added to recipes Southern Pecan Praline Cake https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-southern-pecan-praline-cake.193555/
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Another bot invasion 493 members online most of them bots that do not show up on stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
