I am not sure whether this belongs here or not, but I am posting it anyway.
Today I was playing my turn in game 297150. For some reason the server was very slow, and consequently it took me almost 40 minutes to finish one opponent. Fine, I thought, after all I had still time to deploy, attack one last country and fortify, right? Wrong! Suddenly the site stopped responding altogether. I tried to do anything for the last 20 minutes and I barely could deploy the armies I received. I called a friend and he said he couldn't access the site too. Then I ran out of time because I wasn't even able to hit the end turn button and consequently didn't get a card. 3 minutes later the site was back.
Now, I didn't receive a card even though I have conquered a country during my turn. Being an escalating game it means a huge disadvantage for me. Shouldn't I get one? After all, all I didn't do (couldn't do, in fact) was to press the bloody button.
Yet another thing, what the hell has happened to the server? This was around 20:30h GMT, 2007-03-17.
Thank you, to whomever this might be addressed
