Sorry if I upset you Slynky. You sound a little upset. Obviously I don't have all the information. You must have had some conversations via email about settings other than what you guys discussed here in the forum, because I don't see where he suggested no mines. I see where he said mines were fine and your next post said you guys had agreed to no mines, so obviously there was some offline conversation going on that I wasn't party to.

I was merely trying to point out that you weren't the only one negatively affected, and from the information I could see from the open discussion here it didn't look as if it was anything more than an honest mistake.

Honestly though I think you made a mistake not mentioning the fact that mines had been allowed as soon as you noticed it. You should never assume a gentlmans agreement. If you had brought it up then the game could have been restarted with very little pain, or you two could have agreed to continue and been perfectly clear on what the agreement concerning mines was to be at that point.

Please know that I am not blaming you, but all three of you have made mistakes here in my opinion.

I am coming from the perspective of a game owner rather than a player. If something is allowed by setting that could be disallowed by setting, then from my perspective it should be allowed in the game. If there is something you want to disallow by gentlemans agreement, that's fine, but you have to make those things clear as soon as they occur. That didn't happen in this case.
