In fact, Thomas de Felinica, Governor of the Holy Roman colony of Lubeck and environs, the same Thomas whose foot stomping resulted in the urban engineers placing Nuremburg in the wrong place, is also wholly responsible for this latest diplomatic disaster. He would be recalled immediately, but his family is very powerful in both church and commerce. The Emperor is trying to deal with the situation.

More in the story thread shortly.

If you're using VNC (like me), then you won't be able to actually play Civ, because even if you play in Window mode, all you'll see is black where the DirectX stuff (ie the whole game) goes.

However, you may be interested in www.streammygame.com so you can connect via your laptop/mobile phone combo and play that way.

It's indeed VNC.
Right now the cell phone prog isn't working
It worked the first time, when I tried it the day after, it failed.

I'll check out "streammygame"! Thank for the hint.
I"m not sure if playing through my cell phone is really something I want to do though

The problem i the wireless signal I have been using. There is nothing i can do about it for another two months when I return to the US again.

Are you sure it's only the wireless signal?
Everytime you have logged in I have to restart the pitboss server because the game has some problem and eating up all my resources. (even when you're already logged out again!)

And I am in the game now, and it has been held up for ages now with Japan trying to join the game. Not the first time it has happened.

Anyone else having ages with gmail. I am getting email returned from the Khmer - similar to what happened with those votes I sent to the 'vote' address. This is the message I get back from gmail.

Maybe your IP is on a spam-blacklist?

[Robert]

Japan, your last login caused no problems! What did you do different? Maybe that helps solving this issue!

[Pitboss Japan]

I have switched to another signal. but i have probles getting a good signal so it takes a few more tries to get on.

[Pitboss H Roman]

Not sure why that would happen, CS, but would explain it.

Khmer - resending via civstats.

I gather we do not have access to PM's with these accounts.

[MMC]

Did the message include an attachment? That can sometimes raise the spam-rating of a message, particulary if you're getting error 554.

[Robert]

I use these blacklists:
bl.spamcop.net
sbl.spamhaus.org

Maybe you can check if you're on one of these.
I also reject e-mails sent from a not-existing domain or ip. It'll also be rejected if the "fom" or "reply to" address of the sender contains weird information.

Do you know what your 'from' or 'reply to' address is?

Perhaps you can send an e-mail to: (remove QWERTY) rmQWERTYplomp AT xsQWERTY4all dot nQWERTYl

then I can check your from info.

It must give you headaches! I see that it's hard for you to login to the game. Good luck!

[Pitboss Japan]

I know. I can't wait to get home where the internet is fast.
