This wouldn't surprise me: It appears the game may have been sabotaged again: The system is down!

While the game shows as one minute to host....and has been doing so for nearly an hour now, it is impossible to connect: Further investigation reveals the designated port is simply not listening. Consultation of the Magic 8-Ball reveals "Outlook not so good.". Don't use Outlook, obviously. It sucks.
The good news: The game wasn't saboatage, and I've fixed the game. Every single game is going to crash at next turn, unless the game owner restarts the game before then. I had to upgrade a software component --- And being lazy I just upgraded the whole shebang. Unfortunately, that means some modules have changed names, and so on.

The bad news: This has effectively reset the counter to 18hours. So next turn will be a while. But then Abysia and Atlantis might take their turn and solve that little problem.

As for the sabotage of vigabrand: If anyone is going to be sabotaged, I'd think it would be Norfleet --- since he is rumored to be the best player. So for my money, someone was just plain incompetent. I'll have to work on some strategies to prevent this --- see the main server thread. My condolescense to vigabrand :-( Take it as a challenge or become computer controlled and start a new game. It is not as though it takes very long to get a enough players....

Maybe we should all use this strategy in the game: Strike at Norfleet! ;-) ;-) (Peter will know what I mean. )
