The architecture was self-monitoring and self-healing in the event of issues. Game State information, such as player names, points and tokens, pending actions related to the game or players etc., was stored redundantly on multiple machines. If it ever became unavailable on one machine, all processes were able to switch dynamically to work with other copies of the information.

The overall game site architecture also required a lean, efficient, fault tolerant messaging architecture and communications protocol. Under Jon's direction, the team created a custom message oriented middleware robust enough to keep all games running, without any noticeable interruption, even if a server were to be unplugged or suddenly fail.
