I want to toss my two cents in.

Even though I'm not playing in this game I see a serious problem here in the fact that a rated game is being disrupted by a bug. If all the players knew of this bug going in it wouldn't be a big deal, but that's not the case here.

My suggestion would be to either continue but without Ratings or to restart with them. If you guys choose to restart I'll be more than happy to do it for you, but with a new map to eliminate any advantages.

Maybe I have played during so many times dealing with bugs, that this don't change the things to me (somebody remember the time when the first player ALWAYS had the first shot in the battles?).
The game "Pairs" is full of rated players (I'm not rated there), and although I suffered the "Gift bug" many times during this game (and think the others too!), nobody said the game is screwed.

Well, Alneyan said he doesn't care. I said I don't care. Gecko says he doesn't really care but it will "leave a bad taste". And "Grand Master B" says he wants to continue playing.

I think we have our answer since no one has said they did NOT want to continue the game. So, we will continue the game unless someone says something different.

But, several turns from now, this is no longer something to talk about...

Really would like to avoid random maps. A Tesco's map would fine for you?

About other settings, I have not preferences.
Koth standard? Anything else would be fine with me.

You can find them in PBW. They're used (mostly in KOTH) to prevent start in adjacent or close systems.
Anyway, if someboyd else can start our game with a random map and fix the starting places, I have not problems.
