Question on how to log into game when it starts

Hello,

This will be my first time playing longturn. How will I log into the game? Put host as longturn and my name in login and click connect?

Thanks

The data SHOULD be on this page: http://longturn.org/game/LT42/

However... Wieder!!!

You need this:

host: longturn.org
port: 5042

You can check if everything is working right now by using this info to join the test game that is running currently.

Welcome aboard.

The signups will stop working if the port is on the page. It will be there once the game starts.

I don't understand. If you put "5042" instead of "unknown", people won't be able to sign up?

Ok,

Thank you, I see how it will work now.

Yes... It's a feature... At least not change the nations.

When i log into the game, it shows my user name as detached. There is a user named dirtyfoo that has the polish empire i signed up for but it wont let me take control of it as it is a human user. Any thoughts on this?

Sorry dirtyfoot, there was a naming error that is now fixed. You can join to actual game. I fou wish I can delegate some idler to you for testing purposes.

When was this "last time"?

You are on the list so when the game starts, you should be in...

Hi everybody; it will be the first time to me to so I second this question.
I tried the above hostname and port, but when I click on "Connect" nothing happens. Am I doing it wrong?
(./fcgui -> Connect to Network Game -> longturn.org -> 5042 -> SGCatbot) -> Connect)

update: when I use the qt frontend I see a "Connection refused" message ... ... ...

Game didn't started yet, see main page (it is announced as pregame, but it is just pending to be run soon as other games)

And it will definitely be shouted when it does start. Which should be any moment now (ok, minutes, hours...)
