It should not be possible for an observer to pick a nation. Is that what
you tried? (You didn't mention that

I have examined all instances of send_conn_info(), and with one exception,
they seem to come after send_player_info() -- which is how client.playing
is set. Please post the exact commands that you send.
And have you tested with any
