Default Re: AoE? Bullock? Wraithlord? Somebody!!!!

I see no problem with those. Whoever runs a game has the options to make any demands they want.

As far as #2 my games often include the safety option. The pre.sh of the game runs as the first action of any hosting (the post.sh runs immediately after). My pre.sh often include zipping the entire directory and emailing it off the system to another account. That provides the safety you mentioned. And the ability to do rollbacks if something buggy shows up. Also it provides the ability to review all previous turns. And a safety of the game in case the host goes does so that another host can just continue the game from the last save.
