more downtime

[SHAzrael]

A note from our glorious engineer :)

I'll be performing some more maintenance this week on Cuarteto and Kwartet, the machines on which Marrach, Lazarus, Lovecraft, Stages, Mortalis, Skotos7 and Ironclaw run.

So I'll be causing some lag in the next day or so while making preparations, and then Wednesday I'll need to take all games on each machine down to swap things around and begin the road to recovery.

I apologize for this unfortunate situation

We, of course, know that Nino is wonderful and flawless, and these RAID updates will just make our game even better than it is. We send thanks for his hard work, love, and chocolates.

And bemoan the downtime ;)

I'll give more details when we know when the downtime will happen.

According to Skotos' Status Feed (http://status.skotos.net):

Coming soon to a Theatre near you:
Downtime - the musical!
This is a feature length entertainment venue.
Starring: Not you!
Directed by: Nino
Produced by: Killing You Softly, Inc.
Scored by: Kwartet

What evil lurks in the minds of man-shaped beasts? What do the shadows hide while you are not there? These secrets and many more revealed in Downtime - the musical! We feature lines of endless code, algorithms of a unique nature, enough worthless error feedback to numb your very soul. Can you handle the despair? Can you deal with the agony? If so, attend Downtime - the musical!

This is a joke, this is only a joke, if this were real, would you actually go? No staff are responsible for this post. Not even me. The devil made me do it. (psst, she wore Prada)

Down time makes both Lucius -and- baby Jesus cry.

Edit: I logged on and saw this:
You inhabit Lucius.
Lucius enters the world.
The entrance hall of the Sailors Guild is worn but in working condition. There are doors to the north and southwest, and a couple of comfortable chairs and a couch nearby. Two desks are placed before the east wall.

You are standing near here. Maleficious is standing near the southwest door. Three sailors are standing on the floor. A The Black teacher is standing near the north door.
