Preface: This is not a whine directed at CCP, this is a general whine 
So last night I realize that I'll have to get up a little early to plug in the next one when my skill finishes. I barely manage, only to realize that the servers are down early... I think "Hm, it can't be that bad, probably just a quick restart, right?" but then I see the server status message change: "Tranquility is Currently down due to database issues it will be back up at 11:30 Please accept our apologies." Looking at the clock, I realize that I have to be at work at 11:00. D'oh! There goes a good day's worth of skill time 
So please, go ahead and cheer me up! What's the worst EVE/Murphy combination that ever hit you? --- WTS: Forum Signatures, 30mil a piece. Evemail me!

I think i've lost a month worth of training during the course of my EvE history.
But it doesn't really bother me, cause the game is still great

Recently podded and lost 25 days from BS5, not checking your clone FTL 
Also yeah i've gone through the same thing as you several times with extended DT's and such, or simply waking up late for work, racing around like a maniac to get ready and leave for work only to get half way to work and remember my skill finished at the same time my alarm was set for to wake me up and i'd forgotten to update it, didn't someone mention somewhere that there's a Eve client coming out for palm pilots? with limited chat capabilty and ability to update skills? Your signature exceeds the maximum allowed dimensions of 400x120 pixels and filesize of 24,000 bytes.Mail us if you have questions -Eldo Davip |

Yeah i had a serious go at the GM about that, i wanted it back of course :P but he showed me that the last clone i had got was short, sadly it was short because the current lvl 5 i was training had taken it over the limit but not accounted for it, so technically it was my mistake, but still, really demoralizes you when they take away so much for one tiny mistake and it's something you can never get back.

Ouch! Painful. Okay, I don't feel that bad anymore  Now the important question... did you train it again?

Yes, and I am posting from work Just can't install an eve client here, due to lack of graphics power on these old PCs they give us to work with. --- WTS: Forum Signatures, 30mil a piece. Evemail me!

Lol not yet and yeah don't feel so bad for losing a few hours :P
I was training Destroyers 5 at the time (that was the lvl 5 that took me over my clone) but since i have all the other prerequisited for carriers and dreadnaughts yeah i will be training it again after i finish my dictors training, and during it i'll be both kicking myself in the ass and cursing CCP for being so harsh on such small mistakes.

Yeah, the skillpoint count in the char sheet only updates when you finish or abort a skill, so if you're happily chewing away at that 35 day skill you won't see your skillpoints rising in the char sheet, assuming that's what happened to you. EVEmon keeps a running count though, so might be worth a shot 
Well well, EVE is unforgiving. Quite a jealous *****, too... she won't let me play other games :( --- WTS: Forum Signatures, 30mil a piece. Evemail me!

My worst skill training goof was to get all liquored up the night before going out of town for the weekend and forgetting to switch skills in my hung-over state the next morning before leaving 4 days of lost skill time, yay  -=^=-
