It was a nightmare, I agree.
I had to make a world with a skeleton crew for staffers, so there would be no risk of someone giving anyone hints on how to run the events.
I had to contact all the PW Owners to get them to find representatives. And none of them wanted to participate.
I had to keep offering incentives that I knew Unixmad would never deliver on (incidentally, the prizes were real; the extra prize for signing up I've never heard anything else about, he hinted and did nothing)
I had to use an engine I'd never used before (I'm a clientside man) with no testers.
I had to take the most traffic EVER on the slowest server EVER.
Angel and I had to invent scripts to do things which, to my knowledge, have never been successfully done before. And probably that's still true today.
I had to make each event fair regardless of the inevitability of lag.
I had to adjudicate the winner in an event where both players are handicapped by impossible latency.
All this with practically no word from Stefan on what's going wrong with the server, a hint to what needs to be fixed in the scripts, nothing. Unixmad was gonna come online for the events to draw traffic and had me advertise that each time, nothing. I was gonna have an announcement on the website well in advance, a schedule posted, nothing. I was gonna have 13 teams of 5 players each and a specific timeline for when each could be online for their event, nothing. I was gonna have more than a month to make the Winter Graalympics for XMas Break, nada.

I got a server port to make my little one man generated world. People liked the autograph books. I consider that a success.
