I think Marverni going AI is a game waster. It's simply too big and essential in the power balance. I therefore vote for a rollback.

It is with great reluctance though. I will not be able to repeat my very successful surprise attack on Helheim. So this rollback will cause the whole game to change direction.

If I am reading everyone's posts right, the vote stands like so:

ryleh - rollback
arco - rollback
formoria - rollback
sauro - rollback
helheim - ?
ctis - ?

So we just need LupusFatalis and AlgaeNymph to cast their votes

I'm for a rollback.

Hopefully, this won't be a big drama like in NaV.

No, as a player (Sauro) I'm against rollback. I don't see how the mess created by 2-turn rollback can be smaller than caused by Marv going AI. However as I understand Ctis is also for rollback so we already have majority here. Still want to hear waht Helheim and Niefel have to say.

I am certainly against a rollback, I'm currently waging war with 2 nations, 3 if Marvini is AI... And it kinda screws me over if my enemies now know how I plan to knock out their SCs.

Well the votes are in, then: 5 yes, 1 no.

Up to you how to proceed Dimaz, you're the one with final authority.

Hm, for me it's more like 4 yes, 2 no and 1 (Niefel) still has no vote. I'll put a thread to look for sub, then.

Oh you were voting against? My bad. As for niefel, yeah I did forget him, you're right. He is so hard to contact I guess it just skipped my mind. You might try sending him a PM?

As for the sub - no I wouldnt go and find a sub until we have a decision about Marverni and the rollbacks. Ianuki (the original Marv player) was actually the one who noticed the AI in the first place. And he has told me that if we do rollback and need a temp sub that he can cover the position for a while. So until we are sure and have rolled back, its probably not worth it to find a sub.

You should definitely turn off the hosting timer tho - I see its still set to generate tomorrow?

Ok I'll try to get in touch with Niefel by PM.
If we already have sub for Marverni - fine, then everything is ready for rollback.
Unfortunately I don't know how to turn off timer completely (I see only postpone, force hosting, change interval & turn off quickhost options), so I just postpone by 24h every day.
