first, inexplicably swe drops then, swe tries to get in but, he is blocked by elite so, swe reboots, swe still blocked by elite, so, elite leaves but now swe is blocked by poly so we reload then salq cant join cuz hombre block so salq reboots but still cant join so hombre leaves sal gets in now hombre cant get in so hombre reboots but cant join so sal leaves hombre gets in now sal cant get in sal reboots sal tries again now sal gets in yay game starts now host (poly) drops so host rejoins now oos problem so, everyone keeps trying to press pause to catch oos screen eventually, after many tries, pause shows oos, yay and poly oos so poly quits poly reboots now poly blocked by sal so sal leaves and reboots sal gets past poly, but is blocked by hombre so sal restarts hombre leaves sal gets in hombre restarts in vain so hombre gets weak to sub for him weak gets in fine many turns go by swe inexplicably drops again we wait and wait; no voting screen shows so nero (host) decides to rejoin game splits, with 3/4 ppl in 1 instance; 3/4 in another so we decide to reload again this time we just got a sub for swe (tony) finally, we managed to finish game How long did that take? 6 hours. If you want to count the time since u tried to start a game, then more like 8 hours, for some 9 (elite). 9 hours for 1 game. Dunno where we get the patience. And then. I lose . sal runs around room in circles pulling out hair and screaming

LOL nero was the host the funny thing is i PMed him around 6pm asking if i can join and he was like we have had too many problems with 5v5, in a game that got scrapped before this. So i was like fine np. Then i came online at 1:30am, and i was asked to sub, IN THE SAME GAME . Thank god host didnt open a slot for me, otherwise i would have been part of the 7 hours from hell. I feel like a new man, had a near death experiance and have come out stronger. ;D ;D ;D

Haha nice. I waited 3:25 (about as much as Elite_Fighter) and then i decided that i don't have enough time to start trying to play another game ;D So this game ended at 5:00 am for me. I get up to work at 7:15 am

smaller games seem to work fine for me... it's the 5v5 games that are simply unplayable

just for the record, this game was one of the most fun games i've had in the last week, even tho i subbed and joined late.
turned it around from almost having a teammate wiped out to winning by about 1000 pts.... gg

That was an insanely fun game, being able to come back after being down and almost certainly out for the first 40 or 50 turns. Not sure if it was worth the over 9 hours I spent trying to play it though!
I started looking for a game at 12:45pm EST. After 2 scraps of 5v5 (which I've played a lot of and never seen this many problems before) we decide that we'd better try for 4v4 instead. It started somewhere around 3:45pm EST, all of the issues Sal described happened, and it lasted until shortly after 10:00pm EST. We didn't even play out all the turns, and the timer was moving nicely, never any lag really.

Sal always has connection problems, and Swe is always good for ~5 drops per game. What else is new?
