make sure you have many connections... maybe even open ports -- (it may make it easier to create until we fix) - also wait at least 10 mins.. you need a few blocks before your general will appear, and when blocks are slow, this can take a while, 10+ minutes..
Check Updated Block explorer by Khalahan

2 to 4 generals being created per min

for those that are having problems, and really want to get in the world - keep persisting - blocks are not so fast at the moment, you are not getting left behind
you can transfer characters to a fresh wallet or something if "black names" are an issue for some of you
--
8 connections means you have not opened ports.. try to get 50 (as a temporary test method)
which port must be opened?
probably won't work. but can try
port 8398

We are uploading a work around which may help some people who are scared of using console window to delete transactions.. also for rebroadcasting... these need to be used with "care".
p.s. deletetransaction can lose you your 1 huc - we will maybe do some update in the future which will allow for it to be recovered (not the ones already lost)

to the guy who said "who going to give you back your hucs for new general" - no idea, maybe take it out of the giveaway you received - if you are worried about losing 1huc, best to stay away from Huntercoin, and leave the HUCs on the map to everyone who wants to take the risks...
also read the OP about the "experimental" part, and possibility of bugs at the start
