first though, are all OK with this? it's kind of a big deal, because players can use knowledged gained from the first hosting to modify their turns for the rehost. there is also the issue of whether this will solve anything, if it has happened for two turns in a row, then maybe it just ain't gonna happen. lastly, there is the fact that bugs happen, and typically, the game IS NOT rolled back due to them. I suffered from a bug in another game, and the turn wasn't rolled back; it typically just isn't done for too many abuse issues.

I have to cast my vote as not rolling back, due to all the complications involved. but since konming is for it, that basically makes my vote nil (but his too). what do others say?
If I read the instructions on Llama's server correctly, then I believe that rolling back the turn then force-hosting before some players submit new turns will cause the turn to be run with their old .2h files, which would negate the issue of "inappropriate knowledge" if you either host immediately after the rollback, in which case everything would be the same, or after only konming submits a modified turn.

Sorry if that was incomprehensible, I'm tired.
