G'day Zach, I don't feel this is an abuse. It's a feature. a) for some people (like me) who share a network connection, multiple slots with the same IP address is normal, b) if a player is holding a wait queue slot, as well as a player slot, and then decides to leave, the wait queue slot will be released and the players in the queue after them will be moved forward, (I've often stepped forward two, three or four queue slots at once, while waiting), c) it is a method by which players can prepare for the next genocide, and be ready to start the next game. The players cannot hold a login slot for more than a minute, as they are timed out. If they reach the head of the queue while doing this, begin login, but then let it time out, that would be antisocial. The fix I applied for that was to reduce the login timer. I've spoken to Sky Monkey and he has agreed not to cause his client to sit in login ... I've no evidence that he does. While you waited to get into Continuum, I do hope you also logged in to another server, so that others on the queue could play there? Not doing so would be antisocial.

Someone may indeed make this change, but I won't be planning to apply it on Continuum. Now, if there was a patch to drop new requests for a queue slot from the same IP if there are already 16 other slots with the same IP ... that I would think good to apply. -- James Cameron mailto:quozl at us.netrek.org http://quozl.netrek.org/
