Server I am using was always multithreaded I just did not know it and my code was not prepared for it. I did not create that low-level part that takes care of connections and stuff like that. I am using Player.IO service and their part is multithreaded. When I found out that it works like that, I rewrote my code to account for that fact, thus making it more robust and less buggy, not the other way around.

Well, their only mistake was not mentioning it in documentation :) Other than that, it is great system and multithreading makes perfect sense

Just had the same problem, it is the most annoying thing ever. If it means anything, I was able to control it just long enough to win by zooming out right as your turn begins and then zooming in when you distribute. It only works sometimes but it does regulate the clock. I had every other turn but I was about to win so I did. Just a tip for if that happens, just try it.

thanks wolf, will do.

I haven't seen this problem since that one day, though. So I'm guessing what Joshua says is correct, that only very specific situations will bring this problem up.

Good news is that it's very rare.
