Gandalf did the rollback because it was a server error and some of you felt you were not content to let things lie. That is fine and fair.
Regarding Squirrel and Chris' request regarding Arco, I gave instructions to Gandalf to make sure only the stalers submitted to prevent as much cheating as possible on the rollback and of course to speed things up. That has generally been our policy, as you all know. Allowing Arco to submit and no one else (other than the stalers) generally violates this policy. It would be unfair and inconsistent to allow it.
But I understand the situation with the Arco turn. Grudge had indicated that he was going away for the weekend and the turn came on rather unexpectantly. Thus it could be argued he was also affected by the server error. Therefore, I am going to allow the Arco exception this time, provided there are no objections. If there are, then it will not be allowed. Hope that is clear and fair.
So that is the situation. If I see any objections about Arco, the Arco resubmission will be disallowed.
Lets get moving one way or the other please. I will check back in at around noon EST Friday, to see if those turns are in (Neifel and Caelum) and to see if there are any posts objecting to the Arco submission.
Note: We may also still have the option (depending upon what Gandalf has done with the files and what he says) to just let sleeping dogs lie, i.e. use the turns we have (if anyone didn't get a turn, they can be re-sent, DrP mentioned Ulm didn't get a turn for some reason) and just move on. But Gandalf must give the OK, and there must be NO objections or complaints from anyone. (My personal preference
).
