I don't know; did the game get restarted? I briefly had a connection, foolishly disconnected to do something else before I did my turn, and now once again cannot connect.

Grr.

And then, having posted that, I connected. And my guess is that Zap can't have been repeatedly resetting, because I'd have thought it was sleepy time in Oz right now. Odd.

Have had the samr problem myself, though just once, and only for a few minutes. Doesn't seem to be worth a restart, unless it's much, much worse on your end of things.

I am also unable to do my turn
I was briefly able to connect, then my 3 yr old hit the disconnect button on my wireless internet,
now I can no longer connect
If we can restart, that would be helpful, it will throw off the game if some people get to do this turn, and others don't

(clarification: by restart, I mean this turn, not the entire game)

Y'all might want to try just reconnecting several times, if you haven't already. Network congestion, or the server being busy doing something else, with the game process swapped out of memory, might be causing intermittent 'outages'. Fifteen minutes later, it might be just fine,
while a restart will wipe out the orders anyone has uploaded already.

I don't think it is network congestion, etc, cause all my other games load just fine.
I have been trying to load all day, and briefly got on, then lost it, all the other times, my whole system locks up requiring a hard reboot. something is wrong with the master game file
I think it is better for some people to have to redo their turns, then for some people to lose a turn completely, which will unbalance the game.
