The HOTW VII - Setup Thread IV - We Talk Too Much

[Toni]

Come on CS, wake up at 00:30 and get yourself a hot cup of tea and play with us.

For some reason my trillian stopped connecting to yahoo when we were starting to try one last time to get this going on. I am not sure what happened tried rebooting my computer but still couldn't connect. Sorry! See you all next week...

[Toni]

We broke a record today all 0 played turns Thanks though for sticking around and trying over and over to find a solution.

No problems Cole, thanks for coming though see u next friday.

I really wished we could have played a couple of turns.

There was a problem with YIM, everybody suffered from that.
Kuno and I have figured out what the problem between us was. We were able to fix the problem and reproduce it again. (we tried some more stuff after everybody really left)

I guess that the problems between Toni and me will be solved when we try a few more times next week. Maybe just another join-procedure will fix it maybe.
I don't think Kuno needs to host next week, when we tackled the issue Kuno could join my game as well.

It's a pain that we had a session like this
Well, it's a part of the diplogame, unfortunatley
I hope everybody took the time to do some good negotiation and diplo talk in the meantime

All thanks for your patience!

[deity]

Cool, can you explain the issue? I'm interested.

[Toni]

If the issue with Kuno was resolved we should be good to go next week. Don't expect any problems with me, we were able to join when levi hosted, thats what matters. And there where no porblems then for me, Peter wasn't the reason for a no turns session Atleast some diplo was done between Bulgaria, the Arabs and Celts.

[Robert]

Well, we don't know what the exact problem was, but I normally have 2 routers between me and the internet. The first router is my modem, which works as a router, and the 2nd router is the router in the pc room. I can't connect all pc's to my modem-router because they're in seperated rooms. I actually didn't really like it that my ISP gave me a modem-router.

Anyway, when I disconnected my 2nd router and directly plugged my PC into my modem, then it worked and Kuno and me could join the same room. (therefor I could join anybody and anybody could join the same room as me, except Kuno).

I don't know what the problem was, but it's solved when I disconnect one router. (and disconnect the rest of my network, but it's 00:30 AM, nobody should care )

Well I missed last week again due to work. I was planning to get off early, but another worker had an auto insurance claim to deal with and left early....so I had to fill in. Looks like you didnt get to play much, from the previous posts I read.

I will try to make it this Friday. Thx

[Toni]

Great to hear from you Conq, see u on friday

[Robert]

We didn't play at all

[Toni]

In other words 0 turns . This friday will make up for it I bet

CS should me, u and Kuno have a test before friday, just to be sure we have the issue resolved?

[Robert]

I'm not sure if we can match schedules during weekdays, Kuno is from Singapore. Maybe we can test during wednesday or thursday afternoon......... (european time)

something like 13:00 UTC or something?

Works for me, I'm flexible

[OzzyKP]

OK, what are everyone's holiday plans?

At the moment my plans are to be gone from December 20 to 29th. So I will definitely miss the game on December 22, and might miss the 29th too, but I might just be a little late but able to play.

However my plans may change at a moment's notice as the doctors have given my grandmother just a few days to live. So it is possible I'll miss this week's session too. But I won't know until it happens. I'll be sure to let you guys know and hopefully you can find a sub.

[Toni]

I will be off for two weeks as well starting next week, but I will have my laptop with me for the 22 and 29 if we decide to play. (not sure yet how my laptop will handle the game though)
