Yea, what did you do? Maybe I should try it myself.

Expanded the port forwarding from 2056 t0 2066.

And set up a DMZ in the router. This basically drops the routers firewall permanently, or for a set period of time. This obviously is not the ideal solution, but it got me into a game that I had serious problems connecting to, and I am interested in seeing how it works this evening.

Standing by on MSN Messenger and Apolyton PM.

[kbarrett]

So ... are we going to play?

It is getting late.

[Beta]

Yep - what is up? Standing by.

[Toni]

Yes i was here too, but Mike and Kuno said no game tonight . Shame this is not good for diplo at all. I guess we see what happens next friday as well.

At least i can enjoy my vacation a bit more.

later all

[Beta]

I am going to call it a night as well. Strong thunder and lightning coming thorugh, so going to shut down.

Hope to see you all next Friday.

[Robert]

At gametime only Nolan and me were available, Mike came in a little bit later. Even 25 minutes after gametime we were the only 3 players available.

I really believed that we could settle our problems with the Beta solutions
Anyway, I've configured my router after Beta's suggestion and I'm ready for next week.

[OzzyKP]

CS. You and I should try again sometime this week. You hosting. Since I couldn't connect to you last night.

[Toni]

Interesting because I was talking with Kuno and Mike. So u definitely weren't only 3 ppl around.

Actually if you think about it everybody was here except Cole and Deity. SO I have no idea why we didn't play. (Ozzy, Kuno, Mike, myself, Kb, Nolan, Beta and CS) the regular roster.

We lack organization lately!

The game is losing steam, SO as I said it's a shame!

I will be here next Friday as usual, see what happens.

[OzzyKP]

Yea, I don't know why we didn't play either.

[Robert]

What is gametime according to you guys?
At 00:00 UTC nobody was there, except Mike, Nolan and me.

At about 00:00 UTC Toni msg me, then Ozzy wasn't around, neither was Kuno (who didn't respond before 00:10), neither was Cole nor Deity.

Maybe it was YIM playing up (which was actually the case all night anyway) but on my list nobody was available.

Only Ozzy had said that he would be later.
And I don't think that there's something wrong with the organisation. There's something wrong with the participation (see story thread).

[Toni]

And I don't think that there's something wrong with the organisation

Having no session means no organization to me, but i may be wrong.

[Glohithia]

CS is correct about who was there. I came in at game time (5:30pm CDT) but decided to reboot the computer, so I talked to CS maybe at 5:40pm. We waited until at least 6:00pm and nobody else showed up.

Now, everybody knows when we play, so organization isnt the real problem here. Im not going to sit around staring at my computer in hopes a bunch of people who dont "talk" thru out the week decide to show up late and want to play. I think we need to re-commit to the game or just call it off.

And I cant make it next week due to work travel. Fair warning...so if by some miracle we play a session, the AI will be fine.

I have sent a PM to everyone on the game-day, like always.
I posted a post in the thread on game-day, like always.
I was there at gametime, like always.
There were ideas on how to fix the problems we had, those ideas were spread hours before the game started.

The organisation was fine, people just didn't show up at gametime.

Anyway, next week we have another change.
If you can't make it, please post it here. If you can make it, please be in time, and make it known to the other players that you are around.
