Default Re: Connection Problems

The connection problem can appear fixed if there is another player connected at the same time, who already did the multi-window trick. In this case, me. I was connected waiting for the last player (you) to do their turn.

Well, there's still a bright side: you didn't have any cool summons or heroes to turn into a prophet when you first made one.

So now you've just got to wait six months, and then you can create a monster!

I can never bring myself to intentionally suicide my prophet, and by the end of the game I've always got a gibbled scout prophet with no arms and no legs and a gaping chest wound.

6 months may be too long, plus the 100+ army he was running around with is now leaderless. But you're right reanimation here I come!

Slobby, please do not post in the open forum tactical info that might be used against you. Notably, by me

I'm leaving this game now. FedSlayer will take command over Caelum flying warriors from this turn.

Default Fed Slayer is in the house

As the Frog mentioned, I'm the new CEO of Caelum Inc. All diplomatic messages can be sent to sonsane@roadrunner.com but please don't write this address on a public restoom wall (I get enough love/hate mail as it is).

Oh, and although I might have fallen of a turnip truck, I didn't fall off last night.

As a wise man once said - blood is the price of victory!

As another wise man said - there is no victory at bargain basement prices.

Better than a sucking head wound (feeble minded), oh wait, that's me. (Must apply tourniquet to neck soon.)

Default Re: Not for Prophet

I'm conducting a little experiment where I've left two failed "waiting" clients permanently connected to the game.

I'm hoping that also affects other players, so you won't have to do the multiple-window thing too.

But I can't tell if it works or not. Can you tell me if your connection problems seem better, or if there's no change?

P.S. Would the King of Eriu please give his Order of the Month to his Unit in his Province...
