		I'm having a bit of a problem. Every time I try to log into either SOC game I get eternal sparkles. I know it is a problem on my end (though I can still connect to other servers) because I asked Truper to try connecting, and he was able to. The only reason I got my turn in was that he was nice enough to E-mail the turn file to me and upload the .2h that I sent back.

		Um, I sent somebody 20 water gems, and I have no idea who.  Did anybody get 20 water gems from me last turn, and wonder why?  If so, you can keep them, but you have to be my slave for a week.

		AFAIK not - his ISP still blocks most his ports because they, as they said, detected port-scanning from his IP. 
 
Obviously, he can only connect on port 80 (HTTP), even email seemingly doesn't work at times.
