planning on playing the mountain
Someone play this upcoming King of the Hill starting in 19 mins with me.
Hill is pretty dead until around 11pm EDT. Mountain is a better bet because the round lasts longer and you have more time to get your bet multiplied by 1.5 if you are just starting out.
Sounds like fun, I'm in!
King of the hill just started.
King of the Hill just started. I'm in.
No no,
King of the Mountain is long-term. King of the Hill is more fast paced for snipers.
Best of both worlds.
If you don't like sniping, I suggest King of the Mountain because most people get multiplied throughout the day

EDIT: Both games are running just fine now. No problems now that I've offset them by a minute. Go Game!

so thats the only way you get your money doubled is by sniping ? What a dumb game
Thanks for your feedback and encouragement, rem 
New King of the Mountain game begins in about an hour at 12:01am EDT
Please hold off on sniping until I verify that the end-game script has run!

Hey Herb, check your PMs .

Yeah I think it was that both Cron jobs were trying to run at the same time. I offset the mountain game by 1 minute, so should be good tonight.
I would hold off sniping on King of the Mountain's new game tonight after 12:01am EDT, just in case. If the game STILL doesn't end, I will do it manually. Then you can feel free to go nuts. I will be in the chat tonight around that time to give everyone status updates on what's going on.

Perhaps it's an issue with Cron?
Either way, it works now.

That's what puzzles me... They are both in separate databases 
Wouldn't it help if you ran both games on different databases?
Just make 2 copies of the games in different locations.
I know it's not exactly a fix, but could help keep the game running smoothly until the problem is corrected.

Separate databases would make a lot more sense.

The issue has been resolved, the rounds are on! (It resets properly now!)
Yeah, we had a glitch at midnight. When both games were trying to reset, it in fact executed NONE of the resets, which is just odd... I reset the timer on King of the Mountain so that it now ends 1 minute past midnight every night. Hopefully this bug won't happen again.
Nobody lost their funds, but the round didn't reset like it was supposed to, so the game essentially was extended by 24 hours.

Sorry you got caught up in this, we're on IRC now in #bitcoin-koth on freenode. There seems to be a bug that occurs when both kotm and koth end at the same time, leading to neither ending.
Right now, the current solution:
HerbertFilby: ok, I will extend King of the Mountain for another 23 hours so people in the chain that bet 3.0 will have a chance to get multiplied, and king of the Hill should be fine at 1am EDT in 50 minutes
[12:11AM] HerbertFilby: I will tweak the cron settings so the games are not executing at the same time, offset it by like a minute
[12:11AM] HerbertFilby: then we will see how tomorrow goes

I am a bit confused on the King of the Mountain game. The rules state it is an hourly game, however here it states it is 24 hours and the page time shows 24 hour game(and this is what I thought it was changed to). At the end of countdown it said it was resetting the game, I put a payment in after 20 seconds+ (registered at 34) and then the game reloaded with all previous bets in place and the timer reset, while my bet is at the bottom. Did I miss something?
Well, the way it's programmed, the extra pot would go towards people's doubles or the End-Game last person in line, not me.
The scenario I'm talking about would be one where everyone is paid out, and whoever bids next gets doubled if they put in 50% of the pot. We don't want that scenario to occur, due to the potential for abuse.
Another possibility is to have all voided entries go towards a bitcoin lottery jackpot.
