Hmmmm, for anyone wondering why I staled it looks like I was the victim of a bug. I took my turn, but apparently it didn�t register and showed me as still connected to the game (I had no dominions instance running at all).

Yeah, I was wondering WTF you where doing, since you seemed to be connected for at least the last five hours of the game before it autohosted. I thought you wanted to desperately do your turn before the host timer reaches zero, but then fell asleep or something, but I didn't knew what was keeping you that long in such an early game, too...

From the server it showed a little link symbol but it didn't show any active connections. I typically see that when someone disconnected in the middle of doing their turn.

Hmmm, maybe I somehow neglected to "end turn" before closing it. Frustrating thing is I got a reminder notice, and hopped on to check mere minutes after the game had hosted (hadn't even got the email notification yet). Oh well, anyway, I'm still here and playing!

You might have hit end turn and for some reason were already disconnected from the server at that point.

I'm looking for earth boots. Willing to trade 15 earth gems for them, or best offer.

It seems like T'ien Ch'i is having the "still connected" bug here again.

Yep, but in this case he actually submitted his turn (or saved + exit), so it will still process. The "connected" indicator symbol will go away next time he connects and properly leaves the game.

so the usual ending of the turn is with the "e" key, not save and exit.

The "End Turn" button, yes.

Hmmm, not sure what's happening here as I don't have this problem in any of my other MP games. I'm doublechecking every turn (reconnect to make sure it shows I already took my turn), just to be safe so hopefully this won't be a problem even if it shows me as still connected.
