The problem with disconnecting is that often doing so will hang the game. Its a glitch that pops up from time to time. The game thinks someone is still playing and won't allow another to enter the game till it's un-hung. (usually manually by the sysop) I have seen games stay hung on some systems for 6 months to a year, as the sysops rarely check OOII.

if they're using a modern bbs software, when the user disconnects that process will be forced close.
if you're talking about a flag file that tells the game someone is online, yeah you should tell the sysop.

i havent had that issue yet and i've had people drop carrier in the game a lot, though.

yeah, people suck

Hello, on datastream bbs i am still running the 3 games that Bryan Turner setup that are of 3 different levels of difficulty.
Bryan Turner helped out extensively with OOII's development

Who all recalls this place of OOII history..?
 
They still run 3 versions of the game.. hard medium and newb..

bryan turner's interest in bbsing dwindled and he didnt run pegasus flight for long.
on dsbbs.net i am still running the ooii games he setup, with 3 levels of difficulty


Dwarvish -- I can't connect to Pegasus Flight for some reason.  Is the telnet address you posted above correct?  Or, maybe my claws are too long and I'm typing it in wrong.
