Pulsars are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars that emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation. The radiation can only be observed when the beam of emission is pointing towards the Earth. This is called the lighthouse effect and gives rise to the pulsed nature that gives pulsars their name. Because neutron stars are very dense objects, the rotation period and thus the interval between observed pulses is very regular. For some pulsars, the regularity of pulsation is as precise as an atomic clock. The observed periods of their pulses range from 1.4 milliseconds to 8.5 seconds. A few pulsars are known to have planets orbiting them, such as PSR B1257+12. Werner Becker of the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics said in 2006, "The theory of how pulsars emit their radiation is still in its infancy, even after nearly forty years of work."

Due to networking issues (DNS went mad) game (especially main page) was unavaible to most players. Right now, after disabling some secondary featrures, situation is under control. Disabled features will return when avaible.
During last few hours there were major problems with "Login with Facebook" feature. FB servers were unable to response within given timeout and login process was terminated with an error. Connection timeout was increased and feature is functional. Unfortunately, currently login process is taking up to 30 seconds (response from FB servers is required). I will try to make it faster is possible.
Pulsar Online Round II is open for playing. All user accounts from previous round have been preserved, so returning players can sign in with their logins and passwords. New players ale welcome to create accounts.
Complete list of changes for Round II is avaible here.
