Probably because of spring cleaning. We were getting up to 100k missions in the logs. Guess my guys wasted up to 50 minutes for nothing. No worries.

*EDIT* Now that those whoe were stuck in mission or arena battles and have ended, your troops end up in stasis lock. Plus if you had automatic CR Chamber (like I did), they did not end up in it automatically. So you have to pay your CR chamber costs even though you didn't actually have a battle. Also, the time that could be lost is up to two hours, depending on the time of the mission clock. Man did I get hosed.

I demand energon bonuses for everyone!! 8) :P
sorry, don't take is as a demand. just messing around.

Looks like the logs have been deleted, the mission counter has reset to 0.

Hopefully it was deliberate.

well the sites run slow(for me at least) for the last two days around 8ish in the evenings, so even if it wasn't deliberate it may not be a bad thing.

The site's been slow for me two, but I thought it was my DSL, not Seib.com.
Here's hoping this helps!
I'm just thankful we didn't lose another tournament to a log wipe.

I just entered this mission but the summary insists that I didn't participate even though I got stasis locked. I wasn't automatically sent to the cr chamber but I apparently did rack up about 4,000xp.

Tifereths cons' name is not Casey Jones, if I understand right.

I think the Kremzeek first rolls for the targets, then rolls for number of attacks.

Ah yes, I see it now.
I think you're right, probably something weird in the targeting code where the kremzeek targeted NP but didn't actually do any damage so the log didn't show it.
'Course I really know nothing about how it all works, so this is just me pulling an explaination out-ma-ass :P

Quick question...

Why can't I buy any weapons? I only have 20, but it's not letting me buy any new ones.

It's an old error that's apparently one of the leftovers from when the Maximals and Predacons were added to the game. Mkall will probably fix it after he figures out the game's code.

That should be by... Christmas of next year. :P

Old news. We made him RDD a few weeks ago. He'd applied months back, thinking he would be able to defect come V2. But since V2 went to go hide wherever AS did, he was sort of in a limbo as to whther he was officially RDD or not. So I decided to let him in properly.

I got a problem, I put 6 of my guys into a mission, and they completed it but my registry still says they have 30-40 minutes left of to go in the mission... is the registry not refreshing?

the timers on their missions is counting down and when i click on them and go into their profiles it inactive... wouldn't it say in mission, or arena, or cr chamber?

anyone else having issues like this?
