And now, you're reenacting a soul-sapping rollback here, one can only assume for my benefit alone! Thank you for showing a poor noob how it should be done!
Yes, I know I was more or less okay with the first rollback we did, although really, a stale turn is not that big of a deal most turns. Personally I would have just eaten it. This one is... eh... we can't all seem to agree on what sort of error it is. I would rather have rolled back this turn in a way, because I think it's probably had more negative impact on the player in question. Rolling back BOTH turns in such a close timeframe is really grating on my nerves. I personally do not like rollbacks, both because they can bring up a lot of issues and because they also are good time wasters :P


I should have known when the turn hosted so quickly it was too good to be true.
