I think the system might be a bit buggy at the moment.
My opponent just sent a message, saying "Hello". A few seconds later he timed out. I think his page might have frozen.
I sent him a message saying - "What happened?"
It did not appear in the chat window.
Then a few seconds later I got a message from Happy Meeple saying:
"You have sent too many chat messages!"
I have sent many messages over the time I have played here.
But, I have never seen that system message before.
What gives?
