Thank you for your input. We have a couple of different ways to update servers, the simplest being a special update script I made. There are two versions of this script, an auto update no warning version and a 10 minute warning version. Typically if I see people on the server when I'm going to update it I activate the 10 minute warning script. I'm pretty much the only admin that takes care of all of the ARK server problems. That being said, as you guessed I'm US based (west coast) so there is lag time when it's night here and when I'm at work. The servers and server owner are actually based in the Netherlands. InsaneJ (the owner) helps take care of restarting the server in the event that I'm not online by using the update scripts I mentioned. It sounds like he may have used the no warning update script, which I'm sure was not an intentional ploy to get you guys kicked off your dinos and killed. Accidents happen, and it sounds like it worked out as you were able to find the dino and body.
Regarding the 5 hour delay between the two server restarts, the server decided to start up with an error. There was no rhyme or reason and it happens, rarely. The Scorched Earth server started up in the same way at the same time and ran just fine. After a second restart of The Island it was running correctly.
And finally, your friend UnhappyFace. I would be glad to change his name to "Project92", but he needs to be online when I am online for the change to happen. To make things easier what is his steam username? It's much simpler to see who is online based on their steam username rather than ingame name. Taken care of

I can't stress enough the importance of praising Jiro for all the good he does!
Of course every active staff member needs praising, but historically they all was merged into one divine deity
(nice idea actually, need to make a statue with mixed skins from all staff members next time)
We did a lot for this on Minecraft servers: statues, shrines, signs, verbal praising, praising events, ...
Don't drop the torch, Arkenians!
Sincerely, .

we praise Jiro all the time, especially after he didn't kill us when we decided to have a peek in his base (although to be fair his inner turrets rinsed us which was funny)

Cake!
I've just initiated the forced update scripts Jiro made that should give players 10, 5 and 1 minute warnings. If all goes well the servers should update after about 10 minutes and be back shortly after that.

so there's been yet ANOTHER S+ mod update, due to the last one not really working. So, unfortunately, we can't see the server again

I've initiated the updated scripts with 10 minute warning again.
The servers should be up now.
