It's tedious, but it may be worth having all the players confirm they have deleted all the old files in their save game folder before downloading the re-hosted turn as I think the main reason rollbacks have such a bad reputation is failure to do this. And of course the more players you've got the more chances for someone to not pay attention and use old files.

Oh, and hope the Marignon player didn't password protect their pretender.

This is a very good idea.

@ Amhazair - It's probably a good idea to make heavy use of the llamaserver "send message to players" option right now, as I've found that an excellent admin tool for both notifying all players that something inportant is happening, and also if the time comes, essential for conveying accurate instructions during the rollback phase. (as rollback disasters are always the fault of players, since they only occur when one or more players uses the wrong version of a .trn file)
