Sysops who care about the game and have their acts halfway together want a 
level playing field without either giving away too much information or too 
little. There are times you have to have some trust in these people, too. Most 
of us have a pretty good financial stake in our servers, and don't need a bad 
reputation for changing out edits or doing a poor job of hosting a game. Hard 
to believe, but some of us can be honest...

If you are interested in having a game of yours hosted, I will be honored to 
host it on either one of my servers - your choice. When I do this for players, 
I don't change anything unless I am directed to - all I am doing is being the 
conduit for your game.

changes 1/2 way into a game.  As a player, I'd want him to release all the 
edits at some point if I were playing in the game.  If for no other reason than 
to see what I may have missed.

My stock response to players would be something like: "Yeah, yeah, yeah...quit 
yer bitchin', I hear you.  I'll look into fixing that issue next bang.  In the 
meantime, LEARN to DEAL with it, or QUIT, or convince EVERYONE ELSE to QUIT, so 
I can fix it that much sooner."  That attitude is just one of the many reasons 
I don't run my own TWGS... :D  However, I've been considering asking somone if 
they'd let me create a few games on their board...(I just want to create the 
settings/mods, not actually sysop them...) just so I could see what people 
would do with the kind of edits I've been coming up with lately...)
