I just have one thing to say about PBW being back up again:

Hurray !!! I am so glad PBW is back, I have not played any SEIV since it went down...now I can get back to one of my favorite games. My thanks to everybody who has helped make the resurrection of PBW possible.

It's back but I can't get onto the site. It just will not load! Anyone else having problems getting there?

Usually it justs keep trying to load while getting nowhere at all, but sometimes, I get a "Bad Gateway" error.

Great news to end a stresful (nevertheless fun) weekend before i start homework. For any of you from San Francisco Bay Area i just finished the Millard Fillmore trivia constest (for HS's on the peninsula) it was hard, ill scan a copy of the questions and email them towhomever wants them. The hard part isn't answering them but rather getting hard (not internet) documentation for them.

No problems for me to load the page.

Emmm... I was running a game called Human vs AIs AGAIN! on PBW but it somehow disappeared. We have been running the game through email when the server was down. Should I just recreate the game, tell my players to upload their empires again and then upload the up to date turn?

Finally got in! After about 6 hours of trying. Those internet gremlins are at it again. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

BTW, since we are on the topic of PBW:

I haven't yet played any full Version SE as of yet. But what I am wondering is- will PBW be necessary/helpful for MP in SE4 Gold? I mean, since TCP/IP is fully integrated into the gold Version.

[CW]

Yes Arak, especially if you are playing in a massive game with a lot of players. Your opponents are most likely spreaded around the world in different time zones, and the chances are you won't be able to get together at the same time to play a game. TCP/IP is useful if you DO have everybody in front of their PCs at the same time, but even then I really doubt that you can finish a whole game in one session.
