I think it's something to do with code Admin added, for people whom are still able to set peace/neutral/war and then change it within 24 hours.

Probably so you can see when the last change was, and when admin looks at the logs, can see where the loop-hole is and fix it.

People set peace with other alliances? I think that's the real bug. :-k

Not meant to be spam; I wonder why it's not since 1/1/1980 - which was the fear of the Y2K bug everyone thought would stop mainframe computers..

What is the unix time stamp?

The unix time stamp is a way to track time as a running total of seconds. This count starts at the Unix Epoch on January 1st, 1970. Therefore, the unix time stamp is merely the number of seconds between a particular date and the Unix Epoch. This is very useful to computer systems for tracking and sorting dated information in dynamic and distributed applications both online and client side.

What happens on January 19, 2038?

On this date the Unix Time Stamp will cease to work due to a 32-bit overflow. Before this moment millions of applications will need to either adopt a new convention for time stamps or be migrated to 64-bit systems which will buy the time stamp a "bit" more time.
