Default Re: Rollback advice please

I feel I should add here some notes for people who are hosting their own games from lessons learned to help settle later problems.

A) ALWAYS set a master password even if you dont think you will need it.
B) ALWAYS have at least one mod even if its just a stub (empty mod)
C) ALWAYS have a pre-host script and a post-hosting script even if they start out empty
D) ALWAYS have the pre-host script zip up the game and email it OFF the system (not so much for small blitzes but definetly for larger games)
E) ALWAYS turn on stats, scoredump, logging and --verify even if the players arent interested since it will help settle arguments later.

And you might want to declare early on whose responsibility it is to fix bad files (ascii sends, bad turn number, matching serials, wrong game file, and a dozen other things the player can send)
