Lalala, after beating a challenge stage, I talk to the lady at the Hunter's Guild and she sends me back to the lobby. When I get to the loading screen, I yoink out my ethernet cable (works on phonelines too) so I don't get lobby FSOD. Wheee =>_>=;;;;

Did somebody say "paranoid"? You can press the reset button too. Works better.

Game doesn't save the rank if you get lobby FSOD after beating a stage =>_>=;;;;; Hitting reset doesn't help either =<_<=;;

That just so happens to be a nifty cgi script for sending SnAP a private message.

That sucks, I will start doing that when C7 - C9 come out, or I will just join challenge games in an empty lobby like ANTARES 8-11

It's not a CGI Script its just an HTML Form that sends whatever is in the field to sndmsg.php

Why not? Doesn't it exit and save like terminating the connection does?

No, because it would be like turning off the power in the middle of the game.

Nope. The reset switch is a software reset switch. Which is why it doesn't function if the game locks up. If you don't believe me, login and enter a lobby. Press the reset switch and it will automatically disconnect and save.

You have to talk to the guild counter lady to get your time saved. But since you can apparently pull the cord and manually cause a disconnect, I don't see why using the soft reset in the same instance wouldn't be any different.

Exactly. Remember, you can just press the reset switch.
