Comments
Oze:
In case people get confused, I commented for everyone. Everyone’s visible now, I think.

Thanks guys. It seemed rather odd that time, since if I recall its never cleared names before other then idled names.
Rodney:
We hadn’t cleared the log before, the last one stretched back Dynasties.
While we’re talking about GNDT oddies, every now and then something called MoveDaemon posts a whole bunch of comments saying “Nightly Update”. What’s up with it?

Looks like GNDTMoveUpdaterLOG.py is a script by Greth from June 2006 (!) that’s still running on the server every night, trying to update each player’s “Moves” field by writing directly to the history log. Evidently a hangover from an earlier dynasty that someone forgot to switch off.
It just needs taking out of the cronjob; I’m trying to do that now, but the server’s being extremely slow to respond.

This always happens when the log gets cleared; it doesn’t bother listing players who don’t have any stats yet, or haven’t done anything.
