I don't have much to add, since Rathar has agreed to a solution that is only to his own detriment, but I'd like to point out that bringing up the mines issue actually would not have revealed anything about Slynky's research - a simple right-click on the Construction tech area would have revealed that Mines was not disabled with no need to research it.

Thanks for the info. Once again, it's obvious I'm not very good at this game as I didn't know this, nor did I know mines could be detonated or that there is an an Edit button that shows up if the design is a prototype.
Also, you've proven what I felt when I decided to pull out of the game...that enough doubt had been cast about my handling of the "mine error" as to have people think I f----- up when I don't feel I did. Additionally, statements like "Rathar has agreed to a solution that is only to his own detriment" diminishes any win I might manage to eek out and casts a shadow over my ability as the victor because, apparently, poor Rathar is taking the big hit because of the (apparent) mistake I made in not mentioning it to him when I discovered it.
As I said earlier, it's supposed to be recreation. I recently said it to Geo when he completed a game that was very entertaining. When my precious little time for entertainment gets drowned out by situations like these, it's time to quit. When I have to suck down Tums to quiet my stomach down, it's time to quit. When I can't focus on my job because of a match, it's time to quit...and I haven't been worth a crap this afternoon at work.
According to the rules:
The current King must accept the challenge of the current #1 contender, or he abdicates. If the King abdicates, the #1 contender is crowned the new King of the hill. If either player abandons the game at any time, he forfeits and the other player becomes or retains the title of K.O.T.H..
I might also suggest someone augment the rules in KotH to address problems of this nature as, at least in my experience, game setting mistakes are not that uncommon. (of course, with all the mistakes I am prone to, I may have missed it so I apologize up front).
Apology accepted, Geo. Unfortunately, my heart isn't in game any longer. I know how you love to debate.
