Dr. P:

To be technical, last a recent previous turn, Septimus added hours because caelum hadn't had his turn in by hosting time. No one requested it- or complained when it happened.

In this particular case, I had previously advised Sept I would be travelling, and I asked for an extension - and sept granted it. Squirrel asked for an extension- and sept granted it.

So actually, yes, the extensions were properly requested.

As I showed in my previous post, the game posted an hour early. Forget all the talk about the countdown counter etc.

I will note that in fairly identical circumstances on 2-25 when two of your team members staled due to an early hosting you were all in favor of a redo.. and in fact politely insisted.

"I don't really think we can let this stale stand. The 3 stales are Sauromatia (yeah!), Niefelheim (boo!) and Caelum (double boo!).

I haven't looked at the turn, but it's 10 vs 4, and 2 of the 4 staleing vs. the scariest of the 10? It could be worse for us, but really..."


Despite the fact that it was advantageous for your team, I supported your request for a rollback. Additionally, on 12-07 your position was:

"We certainly cannot make exceptions based on specific tactical situations in order to be "more fair". Either don't do rollbacks at all (which works), or, if you do a rollback, for technical glitch reasons or whatever in the future, let everyone resubmit turns before the rollback goes through."

So it seems that your position changes according to whether it benefits your team.
