Sorry I didn’t do this with past things, was just too busy working on pimp. Ill also share a link of your choice with the world on the page.
Thanks all.
What Op is this?
Can anyone post in comments what Op this is?
Early indications show that our operation was a success. Our report shows that this province has been attacked a little in the last month. Remember, there are few rewards for attacking a badly hit province, as the easily captured resources have already been taken.
This one too please.
Your wizards gather 3,026 runes and begin casting, and the spell succeeds. Some of the spells cast upon our lands will be reflected back upon their creators for 16 days!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas to all Pimpers and Happy Holidays!
Thanks again for your usage of Pimp and I hope to be changing Pimp for the better in coming months.
You can send me a small thank you and Present by clicking on those things to the right and visiting any other of my websites to and use them on a daily basis!!!
Happy Holidays!

Why Are there Duplicate Provinces in my Kingdom Page?
A user asked a question via email and I thought I would reiterate it on the blog so everyone understands it.
A province was duplicated twice in the kingdom listing, and they didn’t understand why it was and it was creating a small problem while they were in war.
So I did my best to answer the question.
There is a lot of parsing going on. When spells, Ops, Captures or any other data with a province name that isn’t currently in the DB is posted, we create a new province for that kingdom in our Database.
So lets say “HumptyDumpty(1:23)” was posted to our system with a spell. If we don’t find him in the system, we create him. Since we create him this once, Another posting with the name “Humpty Dumpty (1:23)” might have been posted. The difference in their names is 2 spaces, but in our system, they are two totally different provinces. Sadly, my parsing can also only keep up with most cases. Utopia and other Agents such as Angel and Ultima don’t tend to help at all because they all might format a name differently over time. So I make sure I hit all those cases, but there are times where two names could slip through my parsing and I not catch it. So sadly, I can’t get every iteration of the same province that might have different names, but be the same province. I am improving my code every day though! I go through about 200 parsing issues every day before I actually start coding on pimp. Thats 200 separate issues with parsing that at times just get passed through the system and at times get caught by my internal Parsing Engine.
So while I can’t do much about it now, over time, I hope that the code will improve against the countless iterations of a certain province I deal with. So if you don’t mind, can you please let me know if you post something that just duplicated a province. I will without a doubt look into it. I just can’t do anything about some type of error unless I know about it and can recreate the problem over and over again.
I hope that helps.

2.3.21
All,
Just made some more bug updates. Im still weeding out bugs. As you can see the version number is still increasing. When we finally get some place where there are no more Errors coming in, Im going to start increasing the version number in a good way.
If your unfamiliar with how my versioning works, this might help.
(Major Upgrade).(Minor Upgrade).(Bug Fix For that Upgrade)
So right now, im on the 21st bug fix of this minor upgrade.

Pimp Will Go Down for a Brief Period
We are adding more hardware to the Pimp server, specifically more Ram, so the server team will need to bring down Pimp for about 30 mins.
It should go down about 9AM EST on the 13th of December.

Encryption Expert in the House?
All,
Im looking for an Encryption Expert for a project with Pimp. If you are one, or know encryption techniques pretty well, or even love trying to decrypt some data in code, I would LOVE to talk to you.
My email is at the bottom of Pimp.

UtopiaPimp 2.3.19
All,
When you see the version number 2.3.19 on UtopiaPimp.com, you will know that the servers have been upgraded and Pimp has moved over to the faster and stronger server.
I also included a few bug fixes with this code I hope you can be happy with. I still have more bugs to push out, but in all, things are getting better and becoming much more stable.
One last note, I upgraded the Javascript on this release, so please make sure you do a CTRL+F5 on your browser to refresh your javascript.
Thanks for keeping Pimp alive and I hope to see many more changes down the way.

Moved UtopiaShrimp.com To New Server
All,
Just so everyone is aware, I moved Utopiashrimp.com over to the new server. I didn’t move Pimp yet because I wanted to be sure and test the new server works the way it does moving over shrimp.
If all goes well, we should have pimp moved over in the next day or so as well!

Upgrading the Server
I know I have typed this plenty before, but again I am upgrading the server.
It will be faster, cooler and hopefully non breakable.
Over the next two weeks, I will be making the move over to an entirely new server. Ill let you all know when I make the move. Hopefully if all goes well, you guys won’t even see it happen.
After that happens, the next goal down the line will be migrating the ENTIRE Database. So there will probably be 24 hours where data just won’t allowed to be pushed into Pimp.
Can someone take it upon them selves to keep me up to date when the age is about to restart? Im going to try to do it then.
