I think all the problems are on my end so far, but I hope to eventually fix all my problems and run into somebody else’s problems. :)

You probably figured it out by now, but could it have something to do with packet per second limitations on EC2? Last I heard, it was 100k pps.

This is awesome, Chris! I’m impressed that you’re doing all the networking stuff yourself, this is the point where I would be calling a friend (artwork & networking aren’t my favorites).
Quick question: if this isn’t in open beta for PAX East (March 22), would it be OK if I set up a tournament / open play area with a few copies of the closed beta? We’re planning a pre-PAX game night and there are quite a few people interested in playing, and some people in the beta willing to use their accounts for the card. I know you don’t have an NDA or anything like that, I just wanted to make sure it was OK with you. It will be a casual setup, there won’t be any pretense of affiliation or general official-ness.

“Something is killing my robots, and I need to figure out what it is…”

Easy, Players. Some people just shoot the AI and not the spy. I even heard rumors they do it ‘for fun’.
