I border Formoria and specifically did *not* attack him, due to the computer bugs.

I have been trying to get the game paused to fix the problem of him having corrupted files. I would be willing to roll it back. I personally hate it when a player is knocked out for computer reasons.

Red eyes did post that he could not open the game immediately after he had the problem.

I'll leave it up to starshine, but having been the recipient of the game being fixed my vote would be to extend the same courtesy.

I would be willing to do a rollback, as it sucks to have computer troubles.

It seems this game has just been riddled with troubles from day one. I will roll back as many turns as people need to keep the game rolling as smoothly as I can.

I'm actually amazed that no one has spoken against it, and redeyes would like to continue in the game, that we just roll it back.

You seem to underestimate the general niceness of this community, or at the very least this group of players.

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

I am moderately against a roll back of that magnitude, but will not balk if it happens.

It doesn't really have anything to do with my position or events (or lack thereof), just that 4 turns is alot of knowledge to use differently.

I also very much hate a rollback, not to mention a couple of them a few times, but I am willing to rollback for the sake of Redeyes.
Just please, no more after this!

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 =).
