Bohemian Epic - Pitboss

[Beta]

I have the same situation with Teach Alexman. Sometimes it takes me 8 or 9 tries to connect. And it is the only game I have problems with. So go figure.

Snoop thinks it has to do with the compatability of the routers/modems at each end.

Anyways - its Friday night - and HOTW8 is about to start.

Shutting the game down for the next 3 or 4 hours. Thanks for your patience.

Back up and running.

[Beta]

Game is down for about 3 - 4 hours starting now for a Mp session of HOTW8. Thanks for your understanding.

[Beta]

Game back up and civ stats connected. Sorry again for the interruption.

[Pinchak]

Cool, now play your team game turn!

[Beta]

Looks like civstats got disconnected for all games. Reconnected. Also game was down for about 30 minutes just recently while I was rebooring and doing a few things.

[Pinchak]

Weird... CivStats for this game says everyone played their turn, yet Prov has yet to play in reality.

[proviisori]

oh...

thanks for telling me that

I believed CivStats and thought I have played.



I'll play my turn ASAP

Windows automatically did some updates and erebooted, killing the pitboss.

Loaded from provi's save but he has to replay. Provi and Rhoth left with 12+ hours on the turn timer.

Hello guys. Sorry about that but I won't be able to play Friday and Saturday. And since I'm a very shy person without any friend, I don't even have a proxy

I didn't have time to play it before I left home so I'll miss that turn.

the connection gets timed out!

I can't connect to the game.

[proviisori]

8th time I tried and it worked!

[Ephack]

Well, just because it's not fair always to complain, I have to admit that I don't have any connexion issue anymore And for that also I "blame" Beta!

Just sometimes on Friday evenings...

I have wide shoulders. Lay it on me.

Ephack - don't hesitate to ask me or any of the others to babysit a game - as long as we are NOT in that game.

Tatu - I still have similar issues with Teach Alexman. I sometimes (not always, but often) that dropping my firewall makes it easier to connect and play. You might want to try that.

Also - the next time you have a connection issue, see if I am around. PM and email me. I can try a test of dropping the 'internal software' firewall to see if that helps. The pitboss is obviously on the exceptions list - but it would be interesting to see if this makes a difference.

I think snoop had the issue nailed when he talked about router and modem compatibility issues. A may connect great with B, but not with C, where B and C have no problem. Don't ask me why - but it is the best explanation I have heard to-date that fits the various 'issues' that I have experienced.
