I am not sure what it takes to restart a server.
Please correct me if it is more invloved. I am assuming there are procedures required that i dont know about.
Surely it would be a great thing to have a little automated script that take a snapshot of the game and dumps it into a log (for later processing/perusal) and then bumps the server back to unfreeze in 24 hours.
This is not a dig at late restarts etc, but more at ensuring the game goes on, stays interesting and we have less dummy spits about people not getting what they want, when Admin is being generous with their time and efforts in even having this thing run in the first place.
Perhaps this way we can have both servers running two week rounds...or perhaps even one week rounds.
HOF and Forum rollovers are unimportant, especially if by having the game more exciting and rewarding that you gain more players that are interested in having a go.
admin is already generous by letting us play a great game like these for free.

No disagreements there Citz. Like I said Admin is generous.
No one will pay money for games that dont run reliably all the time.
No point charging money if you dont have enough interested people wanting to pay money.
My suggestions are aimed at making the game more populous and fun.
I do have scripts that do restarts, but I also need to do manual backups of all logs, which are huge at the end of the month with over 200,000 entries. Next restart gonna be on time.
