This is notification that all games will be suspended from 6am EST TOMORROW (Wednesday).

New Realtime game creation has been suspended.

This is to allow a game stats reindexing to take place.

All turn counters will be reset when the games restart and autoboots / autoskips will not be reactivated until Thursday at 6am pending a successful reindex.

I'll post here once the process is complete - all being well it should take a few hours at most.

Game engine is suspended whilst stats reindexing takes place

Thanks for the info tom.

The game statistics were successfully recalculated for the first 500,000 games and an interim rankings point saved.

The website and game engine have now been re-enabled.

I'll be running integrity checks on the ranking data over the next 24 hours but all being well we now have a good basis for the rankings going forward.

Sorry this took so long folks!

Auto-boot and auto-skip will be re-enabled at 9am EST on Monday. Realtime games will be re-enabled at the same time.

Thanks!

No problem, rather wait and have things fixed than otherwise.

From your first paragraph, do you mean the total calculation is not finished yet and more downtime will be needed?

Integrity checks won't require more downtime, unless something was broken, methinks.

Good to be back   

A question, btw. Autoboot will be reenabled Monday. Is that so also for games started today or later?

I didn't mean the integrity checks. I meant the "first 500 000 games have been recalculated..." which implies not all games have been recalculated yet.

Thank you Tom

It will be for all games, not just those started today or later as there's no way to differentiate them.

They have actually all been calculated now and stored into the database so there shouldn't be any further downtime required unless as Thingol says, there was an issue with the recalcs.

I am playing player S currently......before the index he was rated over 1500... now he has no stats.....

Cool. Thanks.

It looks to me like they haven't been yet. I'm in two games with one-day turns where the next player went past one day this morning and didn't get skipped.

Has there been a change in the timing?

OK, I see all games now have the same game clock (28 minutes) so I'll take that as skip and boot now having been reenabled.

Am I mistaken in thinking that the Global Ranking Score on a member's profile page, and the number listed at the top of the Score column on a member's Ranking History are supposed to be the same, and that the purpose of the Great Re-Indexing was supposed to bring those two values in line for all players?
