Pay close attention, because this is the only warning you will get.
ROOT and I have set up remote access to his machine.
Of course, there's nothing I can do about a power outage or ISP snafu, but if the server merely crashes, I can reset it.
There are some rules, which, if not followed, may result in your character/s untimely demise.
I'll log in to X-Fire Chat while I am at the computer and I know that ROOT is away from his desk. If you see that I am "Out Kicking Rocks," then I'm at the keyboard or within eyeshot of the comp; anything else, and I'm probably AFK (even if it shows that I'm playing NWN or something else).
Rules:
1. Message me ONCE to ask me to reset the server.
2. ASK, do not tell me. I had enough demands in the military, I don't need them in cyberspace. If you demand that the server be reset, expect all of your characters to be gone when you log in. The quickest way to piss me off is to make a demand.
3. DO NOT gripe, bitch, whine, or any other type of grousing that the server is down.
4. Don't ask me WHY the server is down. The server is over 3000 miles away from me. I haven't the foggiest notion.
5. DO NOT ask any other DM besides ROOT or me to reset the server. They don't have access. If I get any complaints from the other DM's, you're fried.
If I can't access the server for whatever reason, I'll post in the Announcements section under "Server Status." I'll also change the fader (that scrollie thingy on the front page that shows the IP for direct connect).
This list is likely to be amended, but it's 3:45am and I'm REALLY tired.
