Your right Norfleet. The 3rd try worked.

Thanks!

I've been totally unable to connect to this game for a couple of days now, and it looks like turns have been hosting since then. I'd appreciate it if there wa at least some warning given that I was going to stale my turns.

i've been unable to connect also. If this many people have had these problems perhaps we should restart without the peopel who dropped.

Man, this game is just regularly cursed, isn't it? Two or three failed starts, a crash, and now this.

Rather than restarting this game we created another one with the same setings. So if you are unhappy with your start you can switch to AI and join this game... or play both if you feel daring.

All the rules and settings are the same except for the hall of fate settings. I reduced the hall of fame from 15 down to 14, I thought this would give the game a vastly different feel and perhaps a luckier beggining.

The port is 2238. Please join and register on Mosehansen.

I'm at work now, so I must be brief.

First I'm going to stale this turn; it's not because I'm not playing, just that I forgot to check yesterday evening. (Got to playing Neverwinter Night, and suddenly it was midnight)

Secondly, if you're willing to get an Jabber account, warning if about-to-stale is in the works. I'm thinking about a 2-hour warning.

Thirdly, even I have the problems with login (on a local network). I THINK the cause is the server pushing 430Mb swap, and thus needs a little time to bring the requested game into memory. Or it could be a bug. But since I'm having the problem on the internal network rules out firewalls and other connectivity problems.

Finally, if too many people (>40% or so) are AI or AWOL by now, I will go AI, too. I can play with the AI in a less inconvenient manner Not sure if I'll rejoin... Norfleet seems just a wee bit trigger happy with restarting this game
