Posts removed, this is the "Technical Issues", lets leave it that way.

If you want to talk do it by PM or in the correct place (general).
[code]
/** Call this method when you want to play OB.*/
public void playOb() {
getSomeBeers();
turnOnComputer();
loadOb();
while(moreBeers()) {
challengeSomeone();
fight();
trashTalk();
drinkABeer();
postAtForum();
}
if(sleepy) {
gotoBed();
}else {
playOb();
}
}
[/code]

for ( new i = 0, j = GetUsers(); i < j; i ++
{
if ( !IsUserConnected( i continue;
switch ( GetUserState( i
{
case USER_STATE_SPAMMER : RemoveUserPost( i;
case USER_STATE_IDIOT : WarnUser( i;
case USER_STATE_TOUGHGUY : LaughAtUser( i;
default : IgnoreUser( i;

I'm pretty sure that's the message you get when the server's down, a could be wrong but if you've been able to connect before hand then it was most likely down.

Oh yeah, forgot about turning your firewall off. There's also something you can do with opening certain ports to improve your connection I think but I'd have to ask my brother how to do it. I dont' think it would affect actually logging in though, just your connection after you have.

That and once you get in the game, even if your firewall is off, it still says something about opening some port and checking your firewall settings, but I think it says that to everyone, even if that port is open and your firewall is off.

The game runs best on 640x400 (I think that's it? the lowest one) in windowed mode, and if it's off-center after the change, just reposition it with your monitor (using the buttons on your monitor. I had to do this).
