Hey Guys,
A couple of years ago I was playing VASL by e-mail and I had a situation occur that left me wondering if I handled it correctly.
I sent my opponent a logfile and near the end of that logfile I took a shot with one of my ATG's and malfed it. My opponent sent the logfile back but he had only gotten part way through it because I had made some minor error and he wanted to give me the chance to correct it. Not knowing how to retrieve the previous logfile I just started from where he had gotten and redid the last half of my logfile only this time my ATG got a CH on his best tank and blazed it. I have had the same thing happen to me in reverse where I knew I got a very important CH and yet for some reason my opponent stops the logfile and sends it back and I lose everything that happened after that point.
So here is the question, what is considered proper in those cases? Do you re-do the logfile and lose whatever events occurred after that or do you open the previous logfile and make the changes in that logfile and then keep the events that happened before? These events can be major swings that can make the difference between winning and losing a scenario. Most of the time my opponents never knew what happened as they hadn't gotten that far yet, but I don't want to be dishonest if a bad event occurred or slighted if a favorable event occurred. Above all I don't want my integrity questioned so if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions on this matter I would appreciate hearing them.
