0055 <para>Purpose of the &atlantik; board game is to acquire land in major
0056 cities in North America and Europe while being a transatlantic traveler. To
0057 win the game, players improve monopolized land with profitable buildings in
0058 the hopes of bankrupting all other players.</para>

0069 <para>&atlantik; requires a game server to connect to. If you have an
0070 Internet connection, you can request a list of public Internet servers and
0071 you will not require additional software. If you want to play &atlantik;
0072 locally, on a <acronym>LAN</acronym> or on a private Internet server, you
0073 can enter the hostname and port to connect to. In this case, you will need
0074 the <ulink url="https://gtkatlantic.gradator.net/">&monopd;</ulink> server
0075 software installed and running on the host you are connecting to.</para>
0076 
0077 <para>If you have problems connecting to a server, the following troubleshoot

0181 <para>If you think you have found a bug in &atlantik;, please report
0182 it. Developers often catch and fix bugs themselves, but you might
0183 experience issues not yet known. Not reporting your problems might
0184 very well prevent them from being fixed indefinitely.</para>
0185 
0186 <para>You can report bugs for &atlantik; at the <ulink

0188 <menuchoice><guimenu>Help</guimenu><guimenuitem>Report
0189 Bug...</guimenuitem></menuchoice> menu item to visit the bug wizard with some
0190 details of your &atlantik; version filled in automatically.</para>
0191 
0192 <para>Please specify details in your bug report, such as game
0193 conditions. For example, a bug might only occur when people are in jail, or
0194 during an auction. If possible, save the event log and attach it to the bug
0195 report or send it to the author. It might contain vital clues about behavior
0196 that could lead to a faster resolution for the bug.</para>

0220 </question>
0221 <answer>
0222 <para>Click on a player portfolio or estate with the &RMB; and you can open
0223 a trade.</para>
0224 <para>There are a two usability issues with trades that can cause confusion.
0225 If you in any way include another player in a trade, that player will get
0226 the trade window. Any player can reject the terms, which unnecessarily ends
0227 the trade session for all other players as well. A trade has to be accepted
0228 by all players in it before it can completed, which can be complicated
0229 because players remain a participant in deals even when they are no longer
0230 involved with tradeable items.</para>
