It's working for me.

Not much I can do for the next few hours -- if it's an Internet outage or power cut it may come back on its own.

Well, Apterous is currently up but it seems to have not been saving any data in the archives for the past few hours. There are no entries in the chat logs after 10:19pm tonight (Monday) and no games saved in the archives beyond 10:20pm.
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

Same again at around the same time tonight - is it to do with the daily reset, perhaps?

Duel not working today...
...I wonder will it get reset, or will 29-01 be omitted from the months duels.
If the day ends up being omitted, do people who played every other duel this month get necklaces?

Yep. Power cut at Apterous Towers. Battery backup gave us enough time to shutdown gracefully so we should be back safely as soon as power comes back.

For all you suffering withdrawal symptoms, here are some conundrums to try:

1) PLANTROSE
2) ITWASBOAN
3) MOVETRAIN
4) SIDECLAMP
5) CHEAPDIME

Can anyone get all 5?

All 3 correct.
The first 2 are quite hard.

Heck, we could start a thread for stuff like this when apterous is down!
