I can't connect to the server. What's going on?

We will normally announce downtime for scheduled maintenance a few days in advance (we do not have a weekly maintenance period). Scheduled downtime will be announced on our website's home page "News" area and in our "Announcements" message forum. Occasionally, there may be unscheduled downtime due to unforeseen issues or emergency maintenance needs. In the event this happens, we will post an Announcement as soon as possible. If the servers appear to be down, check the Announcement forums. Then try the following:

First, there are several things you can test to make certain it is our server that is down and not something on your end. Check if you have access to other websites that are not cached in your browser to ensure that you are, indeed, connected to the internet. Next, try to access other websites like synamicdsolutions.com or costacent.com. Finally, If you can't get onto the internet at all, you should contact your ISP for tech support. If you can get onto the internet, but you still cannot log into the game, check our forums to see if any other use is experiencing a similar problem. If you still can't log in, send us an email at info@synamicd.com and we'll help you sort it out.

What is this "CROWD SUPPORT" page that pops up in my hand during games?

Crowd Support is a special "Not-for-Sale" page that appears in your hand as a result of your opponent's actions. When your opponent plays multiple moves of the same "move-type" during the same "move-string", you get a copy of Crowd Support put into your hand. You can use it as if it were your own page for the duration of that match, but once the game is over, you do not get to keep it!

What is auto-pass mode?

Auto-pass mode forces the player to pass after 10 seconds every time it's their turn. This mode is triggered when a player loses connection.

If the player who is on auto-pass mode returns to the game session before the game is over, auto-pass is disabled and the game proceeds.

You'll never be asked to pay for access to our servers or to play with unregistered practice starters, or your rookie starters.

Where do I find the latest page errata?

One of the benefits of virtual collectibles is that your page will always do exactly what it says it should do. There is no need to carry around a stack of print-outs with the latest errata. Every time you log into the game, your collection is updated with the most recent versions of all the pages. So, no more keeping track of the latest rulings and no more trying to unravel complicated timing issues! All of that is taken care of for you by our system. If you can use a page in a particular situation, you will be allowed to use it, and if you can't, you simply won't be allowed to use it.

How do I find out about the latest page changes?

We have a regular schedule of page changes and we will keep you informed about which pages we are considering for tweaking by posting lists on the website and in the forums. We actively encourage discussion and suggestions for improvements to the balancing of pages in the game.
