As Stagger Lee said, we just went thru this in a somewhat noob game called D+G (David and Goliath)as we have a mixture of semi vets and semi noobs.

We had to roll back twice as weird things were happening and finally got it right (one guy Lost a Capitol, got it back and lost it agian).

There was no poll, argument, or anger. They all just wanted to know how to fix it right and get on with it...which we did and everyone seems happy as there has not been one complaint.

I am disappointed that there is such a uproar over a Bug (or non-bug), and we have spent more time arguing over what we should do than it would take to roll the d*** thing back, tell everyone what the problem is and get on with it.

Ya know, if you take 10 kids and give them a ball and leave them alone....they will chose sides and make their own rules that even out the playing field for both sides.

I only say this because it seems that winning is more important than playing this game. And everybody is looking at everyone else like they are cheating or perhaps using tactics that are known to some but not others.

Well, the roll backs didn't affect me in one way or the other, and I am OK with another rollback. Is it because I am on that team? I submit that you look at my 'Friends list' I have only asked 1 of those to be a friend. The rest have asked me as I NEVER..EVER break my word in a game, even if I have to sit there and just click a turn because I am hemmed in.

I am disappointed that the people I admire most in this game don't have the sense those 10 kids have, and winning is more important than playing and perhaps teaching some of us how to be better.

I resign from this game effective yesterday, not because of my team, and not because of all of your bickering. I resign because you guys have forgotten how to make rules that even the playing field for all those 10 kids. If getting this good in this game makes me like this, then I will continue to ask my friends the questions i need to ask and stay with the semi noobs.

Thank you gentlemen for the lesson and good luck to all of you

I hope you are not directing this at me. Because my dislike of the rollback has nothing to do with wanting to win (actually I am the least competitive person in the entire world). It does, however, have everything to do with having an irrational hatred of rollbacks having seen the drama and issues they create in almost every game that they're given in.

I don't think anyone else is complaining about a rollback because they want to win either. Rollbacks are just bad business.

Eh? Sure, we've complained about losing luck events, but I don't see how that's relevant. We have never asked for a rollback because a rollback removed a very nice lucky event, or destroyed one of our really nice units. Dr P, for example, on the first rollback had a particularly good commander diseased by rain of toads which didn't affect it the first time around. I guess I just don't understand what this is about.


And for the record, I too have been significantly losing interest in this game, due in no small part to the rollbacks :P
