I finally got the lobby to connect to the game for players AND me! No more trying to connect outsiders to a local address! This is a happy day, because as of right now, nothing's broken and I'm very content with that. It is also 12:30 am, and doing something of these legendary proportions is quite obviously not a good idea to do this late.

... I'll probably end up redoing the whole thing tomorrow. Oh well, it was glorious ;D
