  • The flood prevention system is now active in-game as well.
  • Observers will no longer crash if they start observing a team game during team selection.

(In the old system the Jukebox would choose 6 songs of 6 different genres. This caused genres with less songs to have their songs appear more frequently.) Enjoy!
06 Aug 2011
  • A bug existed where effects that caused you to not get an event (like the Evil Disease or Cocaine Addiction) still removed 'go to' effects (like Gun/Potion/Card). This has been fixed.

02 Aug 2011
  • Today the 30.000th game has been created! Yay!

  • A new system is in place to prevent problems with lag. Players who got thrown into jail in various events should not have these problems anymore.

  • It should now always be possible for a player to click the continue button when he/she is skipping a turn. Thanks for the bug reports!

  • Empty teams can no longer win games.
09 Jul 2011
  • We are gone for a week, so we cannot work on the site until the 16th. We are aware of some nasty, sometimes severe bugs, especially with Team Mode. We will fix those when we get back. In the meanwhile, Team Mode seems to function well in most cases, so try to enjoy the games that work and send in a bug report when something goes haywire. See you in a week!
  • After some amazing detective work I have discovered the source of the bug that caused death to behave wrong. It turned out to be something horribly awful in the Disease Cloud code. It has been fixed! (And there I was saying we wouldn't fix it in time. /flex)

  • Some server tweaks greatly increased the speed of our scripts. Reinforcements could take quite some seconds for the game to perform, but thanks to the improvements it all runs smoothly once again. We'll keep a close eye on game performance in the future, because games had become laggier than usual.

  • A bug with Diss Card: Speed Exchange has been fixed. It will now correctly transfer speed effects. Thanks for the bug report!
25 May 2011
  • We're currently trying to fix the kick system. The code for that is a bit old and unpredictable, so bear with us. We implemented some hotfixes and we hope players can now always be kicked after waiting too long 3 times and we hope it prevents double kicks. When multiple players click a button at the same time, it might still cause server problems. Please make a bug report if anything like that happens!
  • Twelve new player icons have been added, allowing up to 20 players to have a unique icon. That *should* be enough, right? Right?
  • UPDATE: Some more hotfixes for the kick system. Thanks for the bug reports!
  • UPDATE: Thanks to another bug report, a MAJOR bug was discovered in the kick system. This was definitely the cause of a LOT of unexpected behaviour and has been fixed. Thanks so much for the reports!

22 May 2011
  • The server crashed today, possibly due to the high amount of games played (I'm looking at you, epicmafia people!) It's been restarted and running smoothly again. We'll keep a close eye on it to prevent further server downtime in the future.
  • UPDATE: The server crashed again, but it seems the cause was not the high amount of player activity! The problem has been fixed and the server is once again more than capable to... well, serve you. Thanks for all the support!
05 May 2011
  • Added a lame /joke command to the site chat. If you guys have better jokes, please post them on the forums!
  • Also added some chat commands dedicated to League of Legends, an awesome game. Try /lux, /lux2, /demacia, /demacia2, /demacia3, /blitzcrank and /blitzcrank2. FOR DEMACIAAAAA!
