so what does this mean exactly.. if we roll back are we honour bound to act as before? what happens to treaties made in the turns since then? I'm not trying to be obtuse, just have never come across a rollback of so many turns

Dragar, I agree completely - and I don't think you're being obtuse at all. I do think on a rollback of this size we should talk about what we expect.

The rollback presents a storm of issues for example, our agreements.

I generally don't think that players could redo their exact actions even if they remembered them; I don't think its reasonable to expect them to *not* use prior knowledge. I'd expect everyone to make their best efforts.

So, for example in our instance - I don't mind you making a beeline for that specific province, and I think you should. Hopefully we will be smart enough to talk to each other so we don't collide =).

And yes, I'd like to say again, I am impressed with the sportsmanship of this group and community.

Again, we haven't heard from RedEyes. Personally, I hope he does choose to continue (so I can beat him in person). If he doesn't then, I'd say game on =).

Redeyes is an unknown quantity at this point

I couldn't set myself to AI last turn because of my ISP being down last night.

I'm still alive, but nearly all my assets are frozen behind castle walls, it would only be a matter of pressing end-turn for me, and most of my effective forces are dead due to random patrol orders w/o support and otherwise scattered in random provinces.

I was in a good position when my game got corrupted, just taking an enemy fort.

A rollback is a big disruption of gameplay, I can't demand one.
The other option is for me to go AI.

I don't want to lose any players from technical problems. We're all willing to roll back for you, Red. Are you sure you just want to go AI?
