ok, looks like it isn't civstats. Just to confirm: you did actually try connecting to the game, rather than looking at civstats and assuming it's down?
Yeah, you're not the only one losing patience... I'm the one who has to try to fix the problem!

Yes, I tried connecting to the game. Connection attempt failed.

ok, my new scapegoat: the wireless connection. So I'll try running a cable to the server instead and see how that goes.
I'll be home in a couple of hours and the server will be back up then. Mind you, it'll be down again in a few days since I'll be out of town.

ok it's back up now (along with civstats). Plan B: using wired instead of wireless, let's see how it goes.
I haven't missed five turns. I only missed two, and only because the server was down when I tried to connect. I usually only have a two hour window in which to take all my turns each day, and if the server isn't running, then I miss my turn.
Also, I just logged in, and it's making me go through he same diplo screens as last time I logged in, two turns ago, so I think that turn must have been lost on Oob's end somehow.

. Sorry about it beeing 3 not 5... Kinda hard to keep count without civstats.

If I had known I would have such a never ending parade of technical issues I would never have started these games. Unless matters improve considerably, these are probably the last pitboss games I will host.
In your quest for finding what is wrong i might have an idea. What exactly are your powersavingssettings? I've tried to run continuous programs on my laptop before and you do have to go in and specify that you basically never want anything more than screensaver turned on or it will disconect(sleep modus, turn off hard disk etc etc). You did have a laptop as a server right? Anyways there are certanly some settings for power over long time of inactivity for all sort of computers. Just an idea.

It's supposed to be down, I sent out an email about it. Probably should have posted here as well, but it's been the MotD in the game for a while now so it should be obvious.

I'm pretty sure using wired instead of wireless has done the trick. Even when wireless has direct line of sight (as it does with my server), it still sucks.

Maybe sunday night, maybe monday night. Not too sure when I'll be back from Wellington at this point.

Seems to have fixed itself, Oyzar is able to get in to one of my servers.
