Something just happened to my account, not sure what. Please look into it though I'd like to know if I got hacked or just overloaded something due to boredom.

ditto, couldn't do anything for a bit. seems to be back now tho.

maybe related to tom backing out a change in turn timer?

There was a spike in server load at that time which affected everyone - I'm looking into what caused it.

I had that same issue.  Oddly, after the issue, I started getting emails about status of my game etc... I never touched settings and yet all notifications had been turned back on.

ALSO - this may be coincidental, but you implemented the timer countdown instead of time elapsed on turns but after the spike in server it reverted to time elapsed again on turns.

For the last part this change was backed out as a number of people preferred the old display method.

similar thing happened earlier today for me (kicked me out and had to wait to log back in) -- could this be the source of the flurry of buggy activity?
