Has anyone else had trouble connecting? Seems to be running fine.

No problems here - I guess that explains the 170 hour hosting I was wondering about.

Alternatively though, perhaps Chazar could email his .2h file to Rev. Zombie? Then it could be placed in the game directory, and we could avoid going to 7 day 'quickhost'

No problem for me (either connecting, or giving Chazar time to get things working again).

Cainehill: Your plan doesn't work if Chazar wasn't able to connect to see the results of Tuesday's hosting in the first place.

I sort of wondered if an internet cafe would have a firewall that objects to the strange IP ports that the DomII host uses; but if he can connect to mosehansen then it's hard to see why Rev. Zombie's server should be treated as a different case.

On another note...

I could set the game to quickhost, but Marignon is AWOL and did not reply to my PM.

Chazar originally set up the game on Norfleet's server, so I don't know if there is master password.

The remaining players *cough* might want to think about setting Marignon to AI if there is indeed a master password. Then I could set the game to quickhost.

The plan works if the .trn is mailed to him - then it doesn't matter at all if he can connect to the server.

Also - if Chazar is Marignon I don't see a need to set him to AI, even if we do have to wait out the week. If it's someone else who hasn't been taking their turns....

Chazar is Caelum, and would probably be completely screwed if he missed 2-3 turns (I'd make sure of it).

Mind you, given that he's turned down my highly generous peace terms, perhaps I should be taking a different line...

Er, Reverend? How much would, say, three hostings by Monday cost me? Cheque OK?

It's someone else.

Marignon/Chazar are separate issues.

I am holding the game till Chazar returns, but we still have the problem of AWOL Marignon preventing quickhost.

Chazar · #**169** September 11th, 2004, 07:44 PM

-I thank you all for waiting for me!

I am still away from home, but I will return on monday evening...

-I still got problems connecting with my laptop (still a black screen after the password entry), while other Dom2-games (on mosehansen) work fine. So maybe mailing the .trn file to me would be very nice! I havnt seen the Last turn yet!

-I dont know the masterpassword. Norfleet set up our game and I didnt ask him for the masterpassword when he sent me the files.

-Marignon seems to be missing, and UndeadDoplhinHacker did not appear in this forum either for some time. This is odd, since I had diplomatic dealings with him and would have expected him to tell us if he would drop out...

Chazar · #**170** September 13th, 2004, 04:56 PM

I am back at home and could connect without any problem. I am too tired to play now, but I am sure that I can do my turn tomorrow morning just in time for the 12.00h deadline!

Dont know whats wrong with my laptop and why it didnt like just this game out of three other Dom2-games. I even deleted the directory and tried to connect anew, but it hangs after choosing the nation as well. Weird! My Dekstop still uses Win98SE, while my Laptop uses WinXP, could this be a problem? I am going to update my Desktop tomorrow (after submitting my turn first - of course) and I am worried that the Problem might therefore return, but I need to update my machine...(In case of emergency I might use an alternate machine...)
