Yeah, well sending gems to the wrong person is a honest mistake. Only fair to send them back.

Now, if you forget to script your troops it is your own fault

o_O

mistake like that could be perceived as a random event of any sort. those shipments would get lost anyway every now and then for a reason or another so why not play accordingly. I indeed embrace fairplay my self, but taking advantage of a clear strategic mistake aint an exploit.

you guys are amazingly noble, thou!

I think people would complain if the next Dominions Patch added a random luck event that could redirect the gems and items you send to an alternate destination.

It was not a strategic mistake because sending gems to Soyweiser was not part of his strategy. Misdirected messages can't even be counted as carelessness like not scripting your troops would be. Absolutely everyone makes mistakes, a careful person double checks, but that isn't possible with messages.

I would consider it a meta-game User-Interface issue, therefore sending the gems back was the correct thing to do.
