Nannerpus: tks for playing

Nannerpus: my abandons are from a bad internet connection last week

Nannerpus: i kept getting disconnected

Rogue Cat: Don't talk me about that. This crap just timed out and modem hanged in my previous game.

Nannerpus: sorry

Rogue Cat: You can still see my name in previous game. Failed connection in round 2.

Nannerpus: yes i can see it

Rogue Cat: That reminds me.

Nannerpus: what?

Rogue Cat: Apologizing to the host.

Rogue Cat: I had the same problem yesterday, and that might have a really negative effect.

Nannerpus: yes

Nannerpus: i can imagine

Nannerpus: I think the host pct should not be used until you've hosted 10 games

Nannerpus: then it is accurate

Nannerpus: i hosted two games & both froze last week

Rogue Cat: I think that they should change it soon so the MULE server can host games, not players.

Nannerpus: so that is two of my abandons

Nannerpus: yes

Nannerpus: that would be even better

Santoonie: wow

Santoonie: howd that happen

Nannerpus: ya

Nannerpus: dunno

Nannerpus: people asleep at the button

Rogue Cat: The second plot would have been mine.

Rogue Cat: I kept button down.

Nannerpus: where are you RC?

Rogue Cat: If they say again that it has nothing to do with connection speed, I'll smack them.

Rogue Cat: Spain. 5kb p/sec.

Nannerpus: ah

Nannerpus: ping delay probably

Nannerpus: i am in southwestern u.s.a.

Nannerpus: dggrj where are you?

Nannerpus: button button button

dggrj: i'm in seattle and have ping of 111ms

dggrj: so i'd expect to get really good land grabs but has been so-so

Nannerpus: hmm

Rogue Cat: This is acting weird today...

Nannerpus: santoonie must be v v close to here then

Nannerpus: santoonie where are you located?

dggrj: what's max crystite value again?

Santoonie: atlanta

Santoonie: ping 181

Nannerpus: 148

Rogue Cat: $148

Nannerpus: k

Nannerpus: best i can guess is you didn't hold button at plot grant to get the last one dgg

Nannerpus: should have gotten it based on proximity to host & plosition

Nannerpus: *position

Nannerpus: RC you were second so it would not have gone to you had dgg been on button

dggrj: yeah maybe i was late

Nannerpus: prolly

Nannerpus: you gotta hold it from the summary

Rogue Cat: I did. But the ranked 1 got it.

Round 11 of 12

Nannerpus: no. RC i'm talking to dgg

dggrj: oh.. did not know

Nannerpus: yeah

Nannerpus: tough break

Nannerpus: RC you lost because of ping delay

Rogue Cat: But I held the button, why did #1 got the plot? That's the question.

Nannerpus: you are farther away by ping

Nannerpus: santoonie only 111

Rogue Cat: According to the forum, that's not that way when I talked about it. Now I see I was right about it.

Nannerpus: yes. if you have lower ping you are "closer" and will win

Rogue Cat: I usually have it around 351ms.

Rogue Cat: They should do it the way I suggested. Wait to get all claims for that plot and give it based on player rank, not host nor ping.

Nannerpus: agreed

Rogue Cat: But go to forum and check the answer they gave.

dggrj: agreed

Nannerpus: ( provided the player is on button, of course )

Nannerpus: if you don't press, no plot for you

dggrj: i'm usually >200ms also, shocked at this low ping

Nannerpus: ack

Nannerpus: i'm hosting again after this game

Nannerpus: gge

Nannerpus: looks like santoonie's by a long margin

Rogue Cat: Round 11.

Nannerpus: right

dggrj: i'm all laggy

dggrj: not selling down't bother

Nannerpus: lol

dggrj: lagging from processor, not net

Nannerpus: seen people buy at $200+ by accident though

Rogue Cat: Sockmonkey did it. =^D^=

Nannerpus: yep

dggrj: poor long-legged green freak...

Rogue Cat: This round decides it all...

dggrj: uh, no round 5 or 6 decided MY all >:(

Round 12 of 12

dggrj: omg i'm so bored

dggrj: (2 now, of course)

Rogue Cat: With my connection I can just afford some matches of Diablo2:LoD.

dggrj: ahh

dggrj: why so slow?

Rogue Cat: 5kb per second connection. 6 in best case.

dggrj: fast not an affordable option where you are?

dggrj: *faster

Rogue Cat: Spain, Dial-up, 56kb modem.

dggrj: just wondering what the highspeed situation is

Rogue Cat: It is, but I'm a cheapskate. Not willing to pay 30Ä when I'm paying 3Ä for the whole weekend connection. :p

dggrj: weekend?

dggrj: you on vacation, or it's not pay per month?

Rogue Cat: Compared with other countries, we have the worst and most expensive connections. I've met players from SouthAfrica that have better connection.

Santoonie: gga

Nannerpus: RC button plz

Santoonie: i think rogues got it

Rogue Cat: I'm paying 3Ä per month to have a weekend Internet connection.
