I'd be opposed to rehosting the turn like this; that sort of thing allows for exploits, and I've certainly met some players in the past who would try.

OTOH, I'd also rather not cause any work for Llama: he should be under no expectation of any effort above and beyond what is necessary for maintaining his wonderful server.

Jazzepi, we all operate under similar constraints, and the error in essence was yours.
Bleh. We did this exact thing before in another game I was in, when the player I was attacking had the exact same issue, and instead of steam rolling him we rehosted with the time stamped file he sent in that didn't get included in the game hosting, and I got whomped, but it was straightforward and much more fair to that person.

I really don't think this is a huge inconvenience for Llamabeast, and I have a generally impeccable record with both staying in games, and getting my turns in on time (if not the first person). I'm not asking for a chance to submit some phoney redone turn, I just want the one that I sent in with the appropriate time stamp on it (I literally just moved armies around, set units to research, and did a basic round of recruitment) to be used.
