This is probably clear already from m.a@stars' post, but just to be absolutely explicit: The player never modifies the M file at all; the host writes it once (per turn), and that's it.

"Game creation": Reads: R files, game parameters. Writes: XY file, HST file, M files
"Host mode": Reads: XY and HST file, as well as any available X files. Writes: M files and (new) HST file
"Play mode": Reads: XY and M file, as well as the H and X fitting to the M, if present. Writes: X and H files.
