It is understandable. Bugs are not fun to play with. But I do hope it is a one of a time thing, and that each age will not be like this one (specially with the difficulties of connections).
That system is a general revamp idea for a game which would work properly.
But even in that case, I understand people might not like it for their own reasons (like CodeMage, though I do not understand his full message, I grasp the essential idea).
In my case, since I have never the same irl planning from a day to an other, it would work better than the current system.
