i'll take jotunheim... I've played about 5 mp games, nothing but swift thrashings so far though.

Having only experienced swift thrashings definitely qualifies you for this game!!!

We're already up to six, so we should be able to get this started tomorrow. Here's our current positions:

bleach168 - Abysia
FM_Surrigon - Machaka
J Henry Waugh - Arcosephale
Thufir - Pythium
Cheezeninja - Jotunheim
Yvelina - Vanheim

Is there any room for another? I'd like to get in, perhaps as C'tis. I've played one MP game, all newbies, and I was the second one eliminated. Urgh. I'll be out of town next weekend, though. Is there any chance of changing to 48 hour quickhost?

It's a wrap, barring anyone backing out we have our 8 players:

bleach168 - Abysia
FM_Surrigon - Machaka
J Henry Waugh - Arcosephale
Thufir - Pythium
Cheezeninja - Jotunheim
Yvelina - Vanheim
YellowCactus - Mictlan
Schmoe - C'tis

If everyone can get their pretender uploaded tonight, then I'll have the game started by tomorrow morning.

Good luck all!

Pretender God loaded.

This has been happening to me for the Last three turns as well. Unfortunately, it isn't the first time, and I doubt it is the Last. This is just something that happens to some players on Mose's server.

What I do is bring the Task Managet up, and kill the Dominion II application as soon as I see I am not getting through. Then I try again. And again. Usually the third or fourth time does it. Whatever you do, do not assume that the server is down. Keep trying or you will stall.

By the way, I think that, at least once, I had to try more than fifteen times...

Will try tonight again but I needed to get to work and was unable to ctrl-tab out (on Mac OS X) to kill and try again.

That's strange. The only time I had a similar problem, all of my Internet access was affected. Reinstalling my Winsock fixed the problem, but I'm not sure what the root cause was. Regardless, the game should timeout after 60 seconds or so.

I've had it hang - but only rarely. And as Yvelina, I was able to kill it w/ task manager.
