In Reply to: Everything you've ever wanted to know about the status of CF as shown in the menubar. posted by Oft-Arbiter(VIP) on June 11, 2000 at 15:15:00:
> Dio's VIPs are given 5 status options which we are free to apply as we see fit. These options are "UP", "LAGGY", "DOWN", "DEAD", AND "LOCKED". Up and laggy are self-explanatory.
>
> We use "DOWN" for those instances where the game has been down for a short-while, will be up soon, is down and is within the control of the imps, and so on.
>
> We use "DEAD" for those instances where the game has been down for a long time, may or may not be up within the next few days, is at the whim of fate(not under direct imp control), and so on.
>
> We use "LOCKED" for when the game is wizlocked I guess, though I've never seen it applied.
---This is all good information to know(Is this stated anywhere and I just missed it? or if it isnt..it might be handy if you make a link from the 'CF is DEAD' area to what all the things mean)
---Seen the game wizlocked before..never seen the 'CF is LOCKED' thing before(but I have not been a regular of this board for that long.
> Since the menubar says "DEAD" you can assume that most of us have no idea when the game will be up, and that it has been down for quite some time. From the general rumor concerning the game, it's not a machine problem, but is the result of an outside problem for which there is no "quick-fix" like rebooting, kicking it, or tossing it out the window.
---Hehehe.. I can just imagine Julias getting angry just after his non-imm character dies and kicking it or tossing it out the window.
> So, settle down, it'll be up when it's up.
>
> You can safely assume that Dio will make it perfectly clear when the game has been taken down for good. I refer you back to the April's Fools joke.
---Good to know.
---As I said before I have not been a regular of this board for that long, what is this April Fools joke?(and yes I did a forum search..couldn't find the joke itself)
