message "Lost Host"..........

[onan]

Hi guys
          Was in the SEA2 last night for the event.  Logged in as a walk-on and was assigned to the allied side,
flying P39's.  (changeup, was good to see you there  )
Everything was fine until the order came to go out to the runway.  Then "Lost Host". 
I quit the game, logged in again and got back into SEA2. As soon as I moved to the correct base.  "Lost Host" again.
The same thing happened a half dozen times till I gave up.  Went back to flying in the DA.
This has happened before in the SEA. 
Don't know why, I never seem to have this amount of disco's in any other arena.

That happened to me when arena was locked. You have to send private message to Brooke to let you in. It worked for me.

Ok thanks.  Will try that next time

You have to pay attention to the special-colored text at the beginning.

The arena is LOCKED to keep random walk-ons out after we begin. That's why you need to get there early and in uniform before it starts. So if you get discoed or whatever, you have to join the lobby and PM the CM "let me in" -- so he can unlock it.

Usually the response is pretty quick... Wait a few seconds then try joining the arena, even if it still says locked (this won't always update on the server list). Then when you are back inside, PM the CM to say "I'm in" so he can lock it again.

Brooke does not always handle this job. There are many CMs, and they rotate duties. If Brooke's just flying trying to enjoy the event, you'll just be bugging him while he's in the middle of combat.

Please pay attention to the text at the beginning, as they will say exactly who the CM is that you need to PM for that frame/scenario/event/whatever. Take note of who the CM is for this session, and don't just automatically assume it's Brooke, or Roscoroo, or fill-in-the-blank.
