MP: NewbsGoneWild: Uninhibited amateur action! [Quell wins]

[iRFNA]

Ouch. Well, it's a newb game. On the bright side, I was considering starting up another newb game somewhat soon, so maybe you could hop on that later for a full game instead of a massacre.

[Thanatus del Dragos]

Eh, I'm okay trying to fend off the attacks until I am massacred, lol. But, there is no reason to let off of me to give me a chance, the nation has fallen way too far behind to make that worthwile.

[Admiral_Aorta]

Well, I'll continue to massacre you then. I'm surprised that the position was that hopeless, but then it is a newb game. That's one disadvantage to having graphs off, you overestimate your opponent. On the other hand, they may overestimate you.

[NaivePhilosopher]

Alright, just thought I'd make the offer. I subbed into a fairly hopeless position over in another game recently, so I know the feeling. Also, yes, I'm a bit surprised at just how hopeless it is as well, though the mind hunting there at the end might have a bit to do with the commander selection, anyway.

[lwarmonger]

I've been having the hanging thing upon login happen as well, every time. I found that my firewall was interfering, which is unusual, since it hadn't been before.

[Admiral_Aorta]

I wonder if it's been caused by the recent patch? I can't think of anything else and it seems to be happening to quite a few people. Have any other multiplayer games had the same thing?

[NaivePhilosopher]

I was having that problem until last night at some point; it works fine for me now. Very odd.

[Gandalf Parker]

Sometimes it can be at the server end. Doing a traceroute (or in windows its a tracert) can be helpful in pointing out if things are a problem at your end, the other end, or any of the connections in-between.

[iRFNA]

Ok, once everyone shows that they are alive, I'll have gandalf put the timer back on. No idea who all might have been affected beyond NaivePhilosopher, although there is that massive cyclone at australia going on too...

[Admiral_Aorta]

Aha, so you survived the snowpocalypse.
