Sorry all, wasn't expecting the traffic.... spinning up some more servers now...

Honestly while it was laggy enough I stopped after a couple minutes it was doing pretty damn well for "hugged by HN".

(I've done enough ops work to be impressed everything was still loading even if the backends clearly weren't quite keeping up :)

Shall have to try again later.

Thanks. I keep resizing to try to keep up. Wasn't expecting to show up on Hacker News. Not complaining though. :-)

I experienced an "interesting" glitch where the world appeared to rapidly switch back and forth between two diverging states. Almost as if two different servers were continuously updating me with their different opinions of what's going on.

I encountered this innovative feature as well.

While the servers are down, do you have a demo video you could post?

This all went down while I was on vacation so have limited access. Plan to make some play through videos when I get home. You can follow my progress at: blog.spacefrigates.com or twitter: @spacefrigates
