Um... you restart AA? If that didn't work did you restart your computer? Try that.

Ok, its fixed. Just had to restart AA. And now I have a more important thing I need help with. What do i do when there are no of-God members on your server and people start cursing and asking questions like why we Christians play war games? Its really offensive and sometimes I just don't know how to answer their questions without coming across dumb or contradicting myself, etc.

Just to clarify the first post: "Duplicate GUID" means that your GUID is already on an account that was on the server. What happened is that you were disconnected from the server by some error (internet outage, etc.) rather than by the normal means of leaving, so the server didn't know that you had left. Normally, this situation leads to that ubiquitous PB kick for "Ignoring MD5Tool Queries", because the server thinks that your computer is being rude in not responding to its requests (rather than just being disconnected). However, you attempted to reconnect to the server while the server thought you were still there. In such a circumstance, AA sees that you have the same name as a "current" player on the server, so AA reassigns the incoming account a different name (your regular name plus "01"), which is a standard procedure in UT server behavior. However, PB then sees that there are two accounts (Pluberus and Pluberus01) that have the same GUID (PB Globally-Unique IDentifier -- basically, your 32-digit hexadecimal account number for that character), and since GUID's must be unique, it throws "both" of you out of the server for "Duplicate GUID". On our server, any such PB kicks (duplicate GUID, ignoring MD5tool queries, etc.) come with an automatic one-minute timeout for that account (the minimum possible timeout penalty under the PB system); many other servers still use the PB default setting of 5 or 10 minutes (I forget which it is ). So, it's only normal that after you were removed for the "Duplicate GUID", you were unable to return immediately due to that one-minute timeout ... but you shouldn't have any problems with getting back in after a minute has passed.
As for your last post ... we have specific policies for dealing with cursing and disrespect in our server ... you'll find out all about how to enforce the rules properly if/when you make it through the PR process and become a member . In the meantime, just ask them (nicely!) to be more respectful and/or not to swear, whatever the situation is ... and don't worry, they will reap what they have sown when I review that day's chatlog. And if they ask about why we're playing a war game, give them our forum address ("forum.Of-God.us") and tell them to check out my " Why We Do What We Do" post in the Bible Study/Q&A section.
