I don't know, game bugs that have a severe impact should warrant rollbacks (and i would have supported another team in rolling back for this latest reason on that principle), especially if the game bug is relatively unknown (by a reasonable reader of the forums), extremely poorly understood, or impossible to control.

That said, given the nature and the scope of this game, and given there was apparently an issue in Preponderance with the message limit (according to Namad, people had to negotiate the value of a message in addition to the value of the goods being actually exchanged, which is crazy), I'm really surprised some vet didn't mention this bug before the game even got going, knowing that it would likely be an issue in a team game.

I would be curious to know how many teams' vets:
a: knew about the bug beforehand (chris didn't, Dr.P apparently had some inkling)
b: actually told their teammates about it beforehand

This particular bug is the kind of thing it would be really useful to point out in the OP of future games (of this style), because it will come up in a team game.
