Hi, everyone! Mike here.

As you may have heard, Ringorang was expecting to launch a new trivia game this week called ‘Ring! Around the Clock.’ Unlike the ‘Question Everything’ game, this tournament is set to run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week—ending and restarting every day at 12pm PT. I like to think of it as a geek’s nirvana so I dubbed it “Trivia Heaven 24/7.”

Unfortunately, I have some sad news to share. Much to our displeasure, the launch of ‘Ring! Around the Clock’ has been postponed until further notice.

No, it’s not a matter of inclement weather (in the case of NASA) or an e-coli infection (in the case of Elton John). It’s a technical issue.

Although we were on track to release the game this week, we’ve encountered some unforeseen problems in the final stages of testing. Currently, any down time between Ringorang tournaments allows our Development Team to push updates, restart servers and do other maintenance related tasks. We believed we had these operations figured out for the new game, however, our solution proved to be ineffective once the game was pushed from a ‘testing’ server to a ‘live’ server.

We apologize for the delay. A game like ‘Ring! Around the Clock’ has been a big request from many of our international players, midnight oilers, and weekend warriors. And since the very beginning of Ringorang, we’ve internally discussed how awesome it would be to run a game that was ‘always on.’

We know you’re jonesing for your trivia fix after hours and over the weekend and we are doing our best to satiate your appetites. We can all rest easier knowing our Development Team is busily working away at the controls. And we hope to have the ‘Ring! Around the Clock’ up and running soon.

Thank you for your patience everyone! We just need a little more………time.

We're adding a new game to Ringorang! This upcoming week features the debut of Ring! Around the Clock, our new, non-stop trivia trove for you addicts out there. The game begins later this week... We'll tally scores and wipe the leaderboard at noon PST every day, but every hour will feature a new trivia Q coming down the pipes! STAY TUNED!

DCN's Rockin' Tailgate Tour 2009 will continue to run its trivia blitz from Monday through Saturday between the hours of 9:00am and 9:00pm Eastern. The DCN Bus stops in Champaign, Illinois on November 14 for the Northwestern-Illinois game. If you're in the area, stop by to party down with the DCN crew... and maybe even answer a live, in-person Ringorang question! Check out DCNLive.com for more details.

And, of course, the Mother of All Trivia, the All-Purpose Question Everything Challenge, our mainstay 10-Q contest running Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 6:00pm Pacific, will feature the following themes:

• Monday - Outbreak!: Think you know your H1N1 from your IEEE 802.11? Answer these 10 epidemic Qs and we'll see what the doctor says in the morning.
• Tuesday - Nobel Prizes: A look at the man once dubbed "the merchant of death," and the people who've won his prestigious prizes.
• Wednesday - Women: What would the world be without these 10 famous females?
• Thursday - Instrumental Instruments: We're making some noise with 10 Qs about the things that make music.
  
• Friday - Monty Python's Holy Trivia: 40 years ago, 5 Englishman and 1 American got together to do something completely different. Here's 10 Qs that'll make you say, "Ni!"
