Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.
I undid those three turns which I could undo. I could not undo the three who had staled because I did not have their original 2h files to resubmit. I was counting on those 3 (actually only 2, since I took no actions for Lanka myself) to adhere to an ethical code, if they did not, I cannot do anything about it really aside from booting players, and I am sure we don't want that.
So to clarify, it was clear to me that Arco, Pangaea, and Neifel, who SHOULD NOT have resubmitted turn files for the rollback, did so and may have used the forknowledge of the new turn to alter their actions. To keep things as fair as possible I did the only thing I could do to try to arrest any cheating. I resubmitted the original .2h files for those 3. However, I could do nothing about the 3 who staled originally (or 2 rather since I played Lanka), because since they staled, they did not have any 2h files in the backup archive for me to resubmit.
Rollbacks are very problematic and it is especially so if people do not adhere to an ethical code. Personally, I never look at any new turns when a rollback happens. But that is just me.
