Yes, that would be the right way to do it.

I have volunteered to take over the position as the DARK LORD OF R'LYEH. Dark, because it's pretty damn dark down here in the depths!

So... Let's see what I can do down here!

Whoa whoa !!!!

I was just informed in IRC that Marverni was set to AI without any forewarning of us here. We might need to rollback....

Oh ****!! A new turn just generated. I think we might now have lost the ability to get a new player into Marv permanently...

Man what a mess...

I'll send llamabeast an email and see what our options are. I have a feeling we may just have to suffer through it tho at this point.

If it'd be possible to take two turns back, I guess that'd mean one less stale for R'lyeh... So I'd be all for it! The less turns wasted doing nothing the better I'd say.

Or five turns back, eliminating all of R'lyeh's stales.

As the new admin I have partial responsibility for the current issue with Marv. So, though I don't like the 2-turn rollback idea personally, I can live with it. However I think the opinion of all (or at least majority) of the participants should be heard. I see why Rlyeh and Ctis are interested in rollbacks; what about others?

CTis and I have been involved in a bloodbath where we have each lost hundreds of gems in our war and revealed strategic intentions and tactical tricks to each other. Rolling back through this would be a complete mess.

If it were anything less than us losing control of a major player I would object. But as this stands, i think Marv going AI will ruin the game. So I vote for rollback (and a lot of praying that it works!) for the two turns needed to put a human back in for Marv.

If he went AI two turns ago that means it was even before the Formoria attack on Helheim, wasnt it? Man what a mess...

Might be a good idea to get a sub lined up before you roll back. Nothing would be worse than doing a multi-turn rollback to get a sub in, then finding that you can't find a sub.
