SnoutCast #120: FORSAN ET HAEC OLIM MEMINISSE IUVABIT

The title of this week's show is an ancient Roman saying I first learned in high school. Roughly translated, it means: "Someday we'll look back on this and laugh." Which is pretty much how I felt immediately following WarTron Application Day...

    While my team was waiting for the server to return, we listened to your last WarTron podcast, which included highly ironic lines like, "You know, we never really tried stress-testing it... How many people would it take to crash the server?"

    "we did not anticipate the level of demand"

    Actually, I'm curious as to the number of teams you think were trying to connect (I don't really care how many teams you planned for) just as an idea around what demand there is for weekend-long games?
