April 28 2011
Title: The Spirits of Ramok Nor
Author: @alimac30

Thanks!

PS. At this early stage, you may need to be a Reviewer in order to find the misson in the "Community Authored" tab. Once a few people have played it, everyone should be able to see it.


Mission summary: Spirits are haunting an old Cardassian-built medical facility on Bajor. The terrified patients and staff fear the apparitions are the tormented souls of Bajorans tortured and killed at the facility during the Occupation. With the pain of Cardassian atrocities still raw after 50 years, Kai Kira has asked Starfleet to investigate...

[Author's notes: This is NOT a Devidian mission. Intended to be single-player; takes around an hour. It's more of an investigation than a shoot-'em-up; there are some baddies to shoot, but the focus is on the investigation.]

We will take the lot! lol.

Well anything you can spare now and in future. We are not only trying to get enough samples to reopen the store, we also need to ensure we have a sustainable supply so we don't have to spend ridiculously large amounts of money to buy from the exchange anymore, hehe.

All donations are gratefully recieved, so Thank You for your help!

250 would be nice, but I was settle for 100. We currently have about 20 Chronometric and Vertiron, 50 Antithoron and 90 Metreon. So still a ways to go.

Hello, How many:

- Chronometric Particle Traces
- Vertiron Particle Traces
- Metreon Particle Traces
- Antithoron Particle Traces

do you need to get the store back to normal operations? Not just the minimum number, but the number of traces that would give the store sufficient "operating capitol"? I can probably provide quite a few, just need a goal to reach for.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this will be helpful or not, but.... thought I'd spout off about some theories.

Based on my extensive PHP background (heh), it sounds like a multi-threading problem. I'm not a PHP expert, but I do know Java and general programming quite well (day job is working with Java on corporate finance systems.)

What's being described (sometimes it's 3, sometimes 8, sometimes 10) can be caused by multiple threads processing the mail queue. The 'simple' solution there is to make sure only one 'daemon' or thread processes the queue.

Multiple submits would queue up multiple emails, but I find users are generally unwilling to admit they've clicked the button 3, 8 or 10 times (which doesn't mean they didn't). Javascript on the submit button, or session tokens can be used to prevent multi-submits.

It's also possible there's a bad database join. Making sh*t up, let's say the user table that contains the email has multiple records (one for each edit you make to your profile). Only one of those records has the 'currentProfile' column set to true, which indicates which record is the current one. The other part of the system that queues up emails to people? It just records your username. The other code that emails then must join to the user table to retrieve your email address, but forgets about the 'currentProfile' column. So your email gets pulled 8 times (if you've made 7 edits to your profile). evidence for this: if you (you reading this) consistently get 'x' emails... make a simple edit to your profile and see if your next email is 'x+1'.

Finally, it's also possible that the emails are being re-sent, through some faulty re-try logic. Evidence for this: view the full headers... bad joins would show you nearly identical timestamps. If they're spread out a bit, it's some process that is re-sending because it thinks the first 'x' tries didn't work.

Only 1 order is left that is needed to be filled :D I completed 3 tonight that called for over 40 chronometric. We are down to only 3 chrono left in the crafting bank. We do have 33 antithoron and 36 vertion.

Here is what is needed for the final 2 orders (so you all can see what we still need in donations):

ORDER 1 (#220)

COMMON SAMPLES:
60 tachyon wave signature (yellow atom)
60 exobilogical data (yellow triangle)
60 photonic technology (yellow flower)
300 unidentified substance (purple triangle)
240 chronometric wave signature (purple atom)
60 technical schematic (purple flower)

RARE SAMPLES/ PARTICLE TRACES:
1 Anyon rare sample
13 chronometric rare sample
1 methogenic rare sample
1 Dekyon rare sample
7 metreon rare sample
1 trianium rare sample
1 antithoron rare sample
1 beta-tachyon rare sample
1 duderon rare sample
30 vertion rare samples

SCHEMATICS:
1 Engine schematic
1 deflector schematic
1 ship shield schematic
2 dual beam bank schematic
4 beam array schematics
7 turret schematic
4 console schematic
3 torpedo schematic

= = = = = = = = = =

SOOOO, we really only need 10 chronometric samples and we will be done with the current orders and will be able to start stockpiling and reopen the store :cheer:

Re: Royal Wedding

April 27 2011
I agree, as the future head of state for 16 different countries all around the world, William's wedding is not just a "British" occasion. As a native of Northern Ireland, where half the population think Britain is evil and the other half have their towns painted red, white and blue all year round, it's nice that most people are just happy for the guy and not making it all about politics. After all he's not the head of state yet, just a young man in love.

I will be joining in a street party after the wedding, well it's free food and I'd like to see how all my neighbour's behave when they get drunk, lol. I hope there is a good turn out, in the area of Belfast I live in, there are so many British flags out all year round that no-one can tell which streets are celebrating, lol.

Re: Help Topic! If you have a forum error, post here!

April 27 2011
Yeah, this has been going on for awhile.

When it comes to the group messages, I think its caused by people hitting the submit button more then once. When you click the submit button, the site process the messages and queues that message to be sent to everyone in the group, which can take some time. While this happens, there is no noticeable difference on the page, which I think causes people to click the button multiple times.

I have no idea why personal messages do it, maybe the same reason?

I've been searching for a solution to this problem for sometime, but no luck so far.

Yeah, me too. If it's a personal email from another user I get it in triplicate. If it's something from the crafting corp I'm hit 10 times. :blink:

Royal Wedding

April 27 2011


Greetings, Fleeties.

The Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton is this Friday and last week I wrote a thread in the British Invasion Group suggesting that my fellow Brits take the opportunity this Friday to celebrate how lucky we are to be British.

I'm right in the fact that, unlike some other counties (hello America), we don't have many occasions to celebrate just how lucky we are to be born in a country that is free and well off. However, after reading SaintPlazma's reply to the thread I feel it's wrong of me to try and turn Friday into a British occasion when there's a lot of people around the world who have connections to the Royal Family and I'm sure would like to celebrate the next generation of Royals and with that bring hope they can live up to the expectation that we'll pile onto them.

I'm hoping this thread can be one of hopeful happy wishes and that whatever your views on the monarchy you look past it and simply try and enjoy the event.

I hope some of you will join me in wishing the happy couple all the best for this day and for the foreseeable future!

Best of Luck, Will and Kate!

I'd like to hear if anybody has any plans for watching the wedding? I'll probably just watch it on my sofa with some party food hehe.
