Lito = nubtart :p

When a slotter joins, the server has 17 players for a short while untill someone is booted, and sometimes it takes awhile for it to notice a player has been kicked, as you will notice if you count the players, 16 are shown. :)

Oh noes, how horrible, you had to wait three minutes to play Natural Selection!

Anyway, just hit the "Auto-Join" option if a server is full; It automatically connects to the server when a spot is open.

I love that feature, takes like 15-30secs to connect!

I just hit Refresh every few minutes, and wait for the numbers to be 15/17.

^^ I often find myself counting seconds that seem like eternity while waiting for a free slot on some servers

Yeah, that's what I did for months :)

You have to remember that in a reg-stuffed game like that, there could be about 5 non-slotters all trying to get in, so as soon as it hits 16/17, the server lets them on for a few seconds - so the auto-retry is your friend.

Wow, your complaining about waiting 3 minutes to get in?  Back before I got a reserved slot I had to wait a good hour to half a hour to get into that server.  /me ends ranting flashback

On a side note the res slot plug in is acting up a little bit.  Yesterday I got kicked due to another res sloter joining.  When I rejoined a few minutes later my res slot was gone.  Then after I talked to Bob for a few minutes ago my res slot was back.   I think the slot system is acting up and someone should take a look at the plug in and make sure it working properly.

Hi.  I wasn't a res slot all my life either.  Thanks for coming out.  But now I do have a res slot, i'd like to use this privilage to play when I feel like playing on the server.

Heh, This sounds bad, but it's been a looong time since I've waited in queue for LM. I always pop in whenever I want to play. I never think of the people I kick until I'm ingame :p Sorry guys

We know where you live. The bitter ex-slotters will be visiting you shortly in a battered old yellow Ford Cortina to teach you some respect.

How many times do we  have to mention that you're complaining about having to wait three minutes? Go to the bathroom, get something to drink, check up on some stock reports; Three minutes isn't a very long time.

Anyways, we all have the same silly problem.  So if the server is absolutely full, your reserved slot guarantees you a slot when the playercount drops to 16 (even IF a non-slotter is trying to join.  Believe it or not, slot 17 IS our reserved slot.  If it's occupied because of another reserved slotter, the server is seen as full and our reserved slot isn't available.

No it doesn't. The server doesn't let non-slotters on until the playercount hits 15 or less.
