Hosting with HB results in the following error.

Sorry, there was an error while hosting your game: WormNET error opening game.

someone in the lobby offered a russian server but i can't connect to that either. but maybe someone can offer a server that does work? he had us replace the "ServerList" file in the "C:\Team17\Worms Armageddon\graphics\ServerLobby" directory.

Seems to me like something's gone funny at Team17's end. Volcadmin was fiddling around with it a few days ago.

If that's the case, and they need to do something like a manual server reset or whatever, then it'll probably be down until Tuesday, as it's Easter Bank Holiday weekend over here in the UK, and few people work on Monday.

I e-mailed David regarding the issue.

Until then, I started a temporary server. Get your serverlists here: http://worms.thecybershadow.net/wormnet/

The teamsters obviously had an Easter party on Friday and were hiding eggs and candy at the T17 HQ.

It seems that someone hid a chocolate Easter bunny in the server room, where it melted due to the heat, and now, two days later, the molten chocolate has reached the cooling fans and the server died because of overheating.

A similar chocolate-related accident happened to Bonz, and his right leg completely shut down for five days because of it.

Unless you're one of the people that still think Bonz is human, and he actually meant one of his PCs. But I still say a human couldn't remember as many WA facts as he does!


Edit: on a side note, I'm suprised he didn't make a beer joke instead. I'm sure he'd at least be able to fit a Galleon into his story somewhere.

I Can't sign into your server Cybershadow, well I can connect but cant join the blank channel and no other players are listed as being in that channel. It affects both non team17 servers.

Cybershadows server is offline, it exploded in a ball of flames and needs to be reset.

It crashed, I restarted it.
Also I think I fixed whatever was causing the ghost issues. If they persist just add a number or something to your nickname.

Good news, I never put the tempoary server on (because I was too lazy) and people are hosting just fine. :) (Oh, and Admins/Patch Makers, remove the Announce Bot, it is making people annoyed)

Yes, all the hydraulic systems below my right knee were clogged with chocolate.
I had to detach my leg and melt the chocolate in the microwave oven.
Edit: on a side note, I'm suprised he didn't make a beer joke instead. I'm sure he'd at least be able to fit a Galleon into his story somewhere.
That's because the Firefox plugin I use to add custom smilies has disabled user upload to their database and the beer icon I've used before is down.
And I'm lazy.

But don't fear, I will revive the beer jokes.
