DrP, I do have the old fatherlnd file and all the old turns and .2h's, if need be, I assume that is what you meant by homeland. Activating or using VP's? Never really felt the need, but I will consider it as a possibility.

One thing we instituted in one of the venerable NvV games was a moratorium on globals. I forgot about it this time. This allows teams to focus on regular tactics without major things hanging over them, evens out the experience level gaps (may not be as strongly pronounced in game 2), and gives teams an equal chance to make inroads before things like arcane nexus and astral corruption come on line. I am strongly considering it for say 50 or 75 turns.

Chris, I would have prefered a PM from you, but your post is sufficent. It is not strictly unfair that we allowed a staling player to resubmit, but as Gandalf noted (countdown timer aside) he did miss the mark by 1 minute. Gandalf has not said anything regarding any irregularities due to daylight savings time and the server. We simply cannot make it a regular practice to do rollbacks just because of that, there's a time limit and turns need to be in on time.

Regarding the score graphs (gotta love em) they make it easy for me to determine a winner without any VP's (why I like them in). Don't care whether people think they are flawed are not or don't tell the whole story. It will be noted that when the Mysterios came in against the Deva's back in the 30's, the Deva's were the leader in the majority of the categories. The Deva's then lost ground but have recovered somewhat. If I need to do a score graph analysis it will be like the first one I did. The leader in the majority of categories (not counting VPs) will be the winner. Plain and simple, like it or don't. No formula, no nonsense.

So I've got 1 vote, for option 1 (there will be a no rollback rule like it or not for the duration of the game, you deal with it or concede). I've got one vote for option 3, which is apparently nixed unless someone changes their mind.

2 votes still outstanding from Agema and Algae.

On a side note, I have a great deal of respect for Grudgebringer. A reliable sub, and a stand up player. Though perhaps not the most computer savvy (by own admission), if Grudge says a thing happened, I am inclined to believe it, but no one is questioning that, just wanted to say it.
