Party client and Zone Alarm

[Derek in NYC]

Does anybody know whether the Party client communicates with the internet when you are only observing a table? Obviously, an initial contact with the internet is required to login to your account (and to observe specific tables), but as you are observing tables, does the client periodically communicate with the Party server? The reason I ask is I want to know whether it is possible to datamine w/out Party's knowledge.

Uh.. Player A raises.. how do you know this if you arn't connected to the internet?
