Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
The connection issues are on me. I recently implemented connection timeouts and upgraded the library that handles connections, but the older version seems to have had a special patch to make it work properly with the downloadable client. I'm working on fixing that.
Edit: the fix was merged...
always loved playing oboe. i used to play piccolo, trumpet, clarinet, sax, piano, and drums while i was in hs. i should get back into playing music tbh
The global room's definitely my favourite. It has a secret entrance, everyone's in it unknowingly, and you can't chat in it, but if you're in lobby your messages get sent there instead. It's very peaceful
Has anyone been watching Digimon Universe? It's pretty trash so far, I wouldn't recommend it. Maybe it'll get better towards the latter half of the show but I'm not holding my hopes up, since so far it's about as bad as Digimon Hunter.
Edit: I can't read
