Eh. I don't think it's a secret that we've been pushing for this.

Although I'm sure CFC's *unofficial* position won't appreciate my comment! lol

I hate this new admin, sticking in his nose everywhere, like he's a referee of the game or something!

Bring back rolo, his laid back style was much better.

We've been rant free for over a month?!?! Wow. All hail Plako.

In lieu of a rant, I just thought I'd link you guys over to the most recent (only one in the last few months) post in the story thread over at CFC. SOmeone on the CFC team wrote an entry to kick off their war with the Spanish team. Overall it's not that interesting, but we did get a minor shoutout:

I'm going to rant about your rant about the lack of rants. Rantception.

Ok, given the way 2metra is going on in the game administration thread, I just might have to chime in there. Comments welcome.

Quote:I am perfectly well aware that I cannot connect to some other players, and that some other players (the two sets might overlap but need not be identical) cannot connect to me. However, I can connect to most other players, and they to me.

I've set up my network as best as I can, with the knowledge I have, based on the ISP I use. I assume everyone here has done the same, but even so, peer-to-peer network connections through firewalls are fraught with problems and issues. Every connection to the game includes at least two parts - I find blaming only the one and say "fix it" to be disingenuous and unhelpful.

Please also note that I've done only the one request about being blocked out of the game, and that one was made after the CFC player had been logged in for three hours straight.

To cite Speaker, who has far more MP and Pitboss experience than I do: "Connectivity issues have been present in Civ4 MP since day 1. Some players, even with all appropriate ports open and firewalls disabled, simply can't connect to each other."
Furthermore, I consider that forum views should be fluid in width
