Sorry, it looks like I started to log in but got distracted- I had to register for school yesterday and it took forever to sync possible schedules with my lady. 
We have to pick different times so that someone is always with the children.

I'm having problems getting into the game, I get to the end of "finishing" and then gets stuck.

I restarted the computer and the Pitboss. I can't figure out why this freeze happens (no special message on my side). Probably, it should be restarted from time to time...
15 hours to go!

I was thinking about quality of our PITBOSS game. I don't know how other PITBOSS games looks like (becouse it's my first) but i think is not bad (enought fast and not bad stability). By the way, it is possible to start a new game by someone (i can't) with same settings and same players ? Will be nice
Much better than when I was running it.
Agreed, neither can I but I would like to add that maybe there should be a rule about no attacking within the first X amount of rounds. Maybe 25 or 50? I know that I am the one that attacked and killed first but looking back on that maybe I was a bit hasty. Maybe we can have that player come back in the next game.By the way, it is possible to start a new game by someone (i can't) with same settings and same players ? Will be nice

I might be able to get up and running a second computer and that might be of use for a game, but i will need to get that up and see what needs to be done to host a game.

Another solution could be to run a second Pitboss on the same computer as this one is running. I don't know if it will markedly slow down the games in this case. Has anyone experienced this?
I would be up for another game anyway. And unlike in SP games, I find this kind of archipelago map interesting to play in MP!

From my experience on playing such games, it does have a certain amount of interence, so it might not be the wisest thing to do.

FWIW, I had two pitboss games running in parallel on the same server (just an old Dell laptop) for several months and didn't notice any slowdown or other problems. (It was a dedicated pitboss server though. I wouldn't recommend using your main PC for this).
If it's a windows machine, you can always bring up the task manager and check the performance tab to keep an eye on memory and CPU usage. You might also want to think about how fast your internet connection is, in case you have multiple people connecting at the same time, but I never had any problems...

Thanks for the info Munro!
I observed some typical figures when someone is playing a turn, the CPU use is about 20-25%. And for internet bandwith usage, it seems low, except when someone connects (hard to evaluate). Only once, three people tried to connect at the same time and the third one failed to get in. So it may be the limit at connection stage.

Yes, that's pretty much the same as what I saw too (on both counts).
I'd have thought you'd be fine with two games running in parallel then.

As Zorzak proposed to start a new pitboss, I'd like to have your opinion.
I started a poll on doodle (first time I use this website). I'll send to each of you the link. Could you please answer or make comments?
I think everyone will be able to see the votes.

Is this new pitboss in place of this, or separate of this?
"...in place of this..." ? Sorry i do not understand you exacly. I think new pitboss game (if will be) will be other game, with other history, other conclusions, other situation, other wars etc. I think and i hope, that things which it will connect will be same server, players and settings

Since is a new pitboss and this game continue, I vote for the game, but if it means that this games stops, then I don't want it to happen.

I confirm the current game will go on. If the new pitboss (assuming same server) would disturb, it would be stopped.
I never thought that this game can be stopped. If i wrong understood previous posts in this topic means that new game can be created ONLY if our contunued game will be stopped.... i disagree. Simply, i prefer continue our game if can be only one game

I lost my Internet connection (probably because of the thunder). I hope it will come back soon...
