Unfortunately, due to a few minor issues, after the 12:00pm tick occurred slightly later than planned we had a double tick at 1pm. There was then a lot of fiddling with backups, and the result is the following:
-As of 2:10pm earlier today, the game has been restored to the 12:30pm backup (taken 2 hours ago).
-Everyone has been given 2 million of each resource
-All fleets have been recalled
-Ticks will now resume at 18:00 GMT

The MOTD will be fixed as soon as possible (as will anywhere that uses the [color] tag), when we find out why it's suddenly decided not to work (all the related files work fine on my computer...).

Again, apologies for all problems that have occurred over the past 24 hours. These are in no way related to the desire of many people to see the return to "old school" Planetarion.
