Nagot Fell!

So far only one person claims to have been able to access the server. So a 20 person game may not happen.

I was able to upload but now I get "waiting for game"... ...hope I didn't accidentally click the "start game" link...

There was some connectivity loss last night but the server should be accessible. Keep trying

Cradle is not too small: there are 200 land provinces and 20 sea. That means there ~11 provinces per player. More than enough.

I'm not sure why you are worried that the game may not happen? Perhaps it is due to inexperience with the game starting process? Allow me to clarify - this is only the pretender uploading stage of the game. What you will do is build your pretender, then connect to the server and select your nation. Once this is done, your pretender will be uploaded and you can exit. When everyone's pretender is in, THEN the game will begin on a 24hr period.

It freezes on "Waiting for game info" for me

Hmm, it appears someone has clicked "Start Game". Its my fault for not having taken that option away to begin with. I will reset the server and make sure that option doesnt appear. Right now we are only uploading pretenders, not starting the game

Unfortunately, I can't fiddle with the server until I get out of work, which will be around 7pm PST today. Sorry for the delay guys, but these things happen occassionaly.

It appears i cannot connect at all, iirc mine also freezes when waiting for info (then a few minutes later i get a nagot gick fel)

My attempts to connect have been unsuccessful so far. I'll keep trying when I can though.

There is no point in trying to connect. He is going to restart it, see:
