Fewer fetishes. Immediate stales are going to kill scouts with items worth 10 gems each.

And yes, I feel sorry for his plight, 3 stales is painful. And still I dont feel oblidged to compensate because things like that happen. I wont be given same luxury in any other game, just as I wasnt allowed rollbacks before. Thus, I am surprised that this game was stopped because of one man's stales.

Yes, he did take precautions, but they were not enough. I am subbing a friend right now, in 3 games, and he doesnt stale there because he knew he is leaving and forwarded me the incoming turns.
Accept that your have made an error and learn from it, not make your fellow players suffer for it. Do you really have to stop this game just because you are less likely to win it now?
