Let's arrange another one after this, Gary - hopefully Andy will be able to join us next time, too, when he's back from holiday.

Hi all,
Alan - if you you're talking about me - yes, I'm still alive and reading (though rarely posting recently). Didn't play the games for some time, partly because I have been in French Guyana for business for some time during the past months, and the games don't run on my business laptop...
If someone can come up with an online game during european evening hours, I might find some time to join.

Yes I certainly was!

The next attempt is next Tuesday at 7pm UK time (8 pm in Spanish Maria-time). It would be great if you could join us.

It's nice to see you Andreas and Gary.. and it's also nice the idea of playing with people with whom, at least me, haven't played yet.

It's been so long that I thought it might be worth adding a few crucial reminders (in the past, problems of communications have sometimes been troublesome) that might also help anyone who joins in who hasn't played online before.

1. Once the game is running, don't forget to press the TAB key to open up the dialogue space at the top of the screen. If you don't do that, you won't be able to send or receive messages.

2. Don't forget to press the 'm' key before you start typing a message.

3. Don't forget to touch the cactus at the very beginning.

4. If you're trying to connect but can't, or can't communicate within the game for some reason, post a message in this thread.

5. You can get back to your desktop (perhaps to consult this thread) when the game is running by pressing the Windows key. (You don't have to stop the game).

I'll post my IP in a few minutes time.

I had some problem with this. In my laptop the screen's resolution is 1366x768 and the game's window is smaller than that, so the game appears in a black frame. I didn't know how to change that... just bought the laptop and don't know it so well... so I played with that black frame. That way, I can get back to the board, but I cannot reach the 'add reply' box. So I could read but couldn't write without restarting the game.

OK Maria - it just means there may be longer gaps if we need to use this forum to talk about problems.

The moth is waiting by the cactus hopefully ....

OK. Looks like there may still be a router problem somewhere.

If this second try doesn't work, you could post your IP and I could try connecting to you?
