Joke?
What's going on....?
EDIT: Sorry if it was anything on my end. I still haven't managed to secure my Civ DVD to re-install, so rather than use a guest player I decided to remote into my server PC and play from there. Said server is about 7 years old and probably wasn't too happy being asked to run four instances of BtS at once (one with graphics)

I QUIT THIS GAME. Whoa dude, calm down. I didn't do anything... you usually connect to me fine. Are you logging in from somewhere different?
For the record, I had already moved and was 1 battle from killing TT by the time you logged in. So it wouldn't have made a difference.

We were logged in simultaneously, he ended turn with 2 chariots next to my army. I accidentally posted my attack plans in this thread, editted them and was camping the timer to kill his crap. Instead I log in, he's already in and I can't log in due to him:

Screw you you scumbag. Find someone else to deal with this crap.

At the same time I kept getting "Warning: Logging Enabled" from player 8 (Mackseven). Some incompatibility somewhere, apparently. You'd already logged out, so I don't think you had anything to do with it.

If I knew you were going to effective DoS me, I would have had no reservations flooding your ass for Sunrise's server as soon as you logged in. It should not come down to who has their intro movie disabled.

You can have your fun with 3 civ run away can't be preempted unless you get someone else to end turn with you in it.
Its not the server, Sunrise, I was logging in and out earlier to test an auto-login util. Pitboss requires all people logging in to connect to each other. If someone uses a fireswall then that bounces everyone else.

Think for a minute, ASM. You usually connect to me fine - in fact you did a few hours ago. Mackseven connected to me fine just now. I haven't changed a thing with my firewall. These random issues crop up from time to time between different players for obscure reasons - for instance, I had issues connecting to HAK earlier in the game. The most common cause of these issues cropping up where they didn't before is when you're using a different computer to the one you usually do. Are you?

Stop acting like this is some huge conspiracy against you. It's just a random quirk, and as I said before, it made no difference - I'd moved before you logged in.

Makes perfect sense, you login, FW on, FW off after you've locked everyone out and made your moves. A PB server can't disconnect between 2 players, only one of the players can.
At any rate I am done with the game. This game is neither fun or competative if you can always go first and go last and I can't do anything effective against you. I don't believe you, software does not glitch randomly.
The ONLY way this can happen is connection issues between 2 players where one is rejecting the connection. I can connect now but I'm not going to waste time dealing with your asinine shenanigans anymore. Its done, pause the game, find someone else.
