As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism.

pitboss.watto.no:2061
New address for it. Caledorn can explain why, something to do with thunderstorm protection and shizzle.
Yeah, that's kind of important. The games have moved to a Virtual Private Server in a data centre.

I don't suppose the new server setup was supposed to also help with people connecting to each other? I'm apparently not able to connect to Furungy. Don't know if I was able to before, though. Since don't think I've ever tried to be in the game same time as him.
The NatNeg server is being hosted elsewhere now. That would be unrelated to moving the pitboss instances onto a server instance with higher likely uptime.
Played: Pitboss 18 - Kublai Khan of Germany Somalia | Pitboss 11 - De Gaulle of Byzantium | Pitboss 8 - Churchill of Portugal | PB7 - Mao of Native America | PBEM29 Greens - Mao of Babylon
As long as everyone is using the new natneg server, this new game server should indeed help with connectivity, as it has a dedicated IP address and no router NATting the connections to an internal IP. But obviously everyone needs to have either the patched exe-file or the modified hosts file for it natneg to work.
