- Folks, posting to a world wide newsgroup about a game being down is
- really dumb. By the time your posts percolate around the world the game
- is probably up as it usually takes days. The best and only solution is
- for the deity to provide a mailing list and keep players informed via
- that list and allow players to use it. As players it's your job to
- keep the deity's email address handy and hope that his email account is
- not the machine the game is on if it's down. Also try pinging the
- host if it's dead either it or some connection between you and the host
- is down. I know it's agravating to not know but blast your deity not
- the net.

- Thanks...
