As I said, no new games appeared on the open list.
That's where any games in a "waiting list" would appear, right?

They would, unless they started before you noticed. Guess some people are anxious or something.

That can't be it. Apart from a tourney game that was already occupying a slot in the open list when the 2 games were deleted, no game has appeared in the running list since July 13.

Is this game defunct?
Nicely spotted. No moves since April. I have stopped the game. If anybody was playing the game, NOW would be a good time to say so.
Semiblitz has re-appeared in the running list

So it has, so it has. I guess they wanted their game back and couldn't start it before. People seem to have taken their turns, anyway.

But the game is still at turn 1.
Those turns may have been taken in April, well before Esben stopped the game.

2. Find one where the description/settings/ whatever look attractive. Some needs separate registration at some forum, look at the comment.
3. Note the port number (listed under browse/manage game)
3. Fire up dominions, Network, enter "dom2.mosehansen.dk" as the ip and the port as the port (duh)
4. Select the nation you wish to play. Do not start the game. Instead, quit the game.
5. Do not start the game. Instead, quit the game.
6. Go back to the Browse/mange view (or just refresh if you're sitll there . Find the "confess" column, check the appropriate checkbox and submit,
7. When a turn is ready to be played, the game will appear on the bottom of the welcome page.


Easy as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,r ighT?
I'll try this evening (GMT+1), thank you
Ok, I have joined a game.
How can I play?
I have a dial-up connection so I have to know when I must be connected.
At what time is transmitted my .2h to the server?
And when do I receive the .trn?
Now the game is in my menu. If I play the turn it is transmitted automatically to the server?
Sorry for the confusion but I have to understand how the syncronization works so I conncet at the right times. I never had a network (non e-mail) game.

Thank you.
