Title: Server downtime
Post by: The Carrot on May 17, 2015, 05:53:18 PM
Due to recent lag, we have decided to take down the server shortly to work on that particular issue. Now, do not worry this will only last a day precisely on Saturday 23rd of this current month. After that, server should run smoother and you may resume your gameplay.

Nevertheless, we will not let our loyal members sit there waiting for the server to come back up again. Thanks to our staff, we organized a few events to pass your time! From contests to just games for fun, we made sure you would at least be kept busy and share nonsense and game related ideas.

For our SM+, mumble will stay available if you want to use it as well as our skype chat.

The contests we have prepared:

So remember to keep in touch in the forums! ;)

For the Photography contest, can we use photos from OUR OWN instagram?
Title: Re: Server downtime
Post by: The Carrot on May 19, 2015, 02:43:31 PM
Yes you can, Spooky. As long as you own the photo.
Title: Re: Server downtime
Post by: Fjerreiro on May 19, 2015, 03:20:34 PM
May I remind everyone that these contest are meant to be a way of passing time when the server will be down. While uploading a picture you took a few weeks ago is not against the rules, it defeats the purpose of all this. Also we added the rule that you can only submit 1 picture for each contest. Good luck everyone!

Your free to donate money so we can increase the prize money.. ::) after all we're hosting this to entertain you, not make you rich, and we're paying it out of our own pockets.

It is Saturday midnight to saturday 11.59 PM UTC. So you have 23 hours and 59 minutes to submit everything.

Post by: Fjerreiro on May 24, 2015, 07:26:47 AM
Since we received almost no submissions for the drawing contests we're giving you some more time to submit something. You have until 11.00 AM UTC (3,5 hours from now) to submit. Even if the drawing doesn't have a Sentinelcraft theme, you can submit, but you will receive 0 points for ''story''. You can also use this time to submit crossword solutions or submissions for the photography contest.

There's no exact time when the server will be up again. Fixing issues like this take some time. Keep an eye on this topic, it'll be announced when it's up again.

It is quite frustrating for us to see that you respond and spam like this when our staff is working hard for the server and to keep you entertained while it's offline. The server is offline for a reason. So be patient.

Just a reminder to whoever has fly perms:

Your fly will be extended with the amount of days the server is/will be offline. If your fly should've ended during downtime, you will have those days back.

Examples:

If your fly runs out in July 10 and server was down for 2 weeks (14 days) your fly will end July 24.
If your fly should've run out May 24, your fly will be extended the total amount of days that server was off.

I hope I was clear :).
