I for one would like to continue this one until it's proper end. I think Ygorl's suggestion makes sense, so it has my vote.

This game has been going on so long, that I'd really hate to see it end with people stopping playing and becoming AI's. I have really enjoyed this game, and it would totally suck, if the winner would be just that someone who kept playing after others stopped. That would somewhat ruin the whole game for me and all time spent to it. It wouldn't be a worthy ending at all. There are some big nations in the game and if one of them becomes AI, it will have a huge impact on the chances of winning to other nations. Some of the tiny nations probaly could go AI without too big effect on the game, but not the big ones.

To me there are only two choices that I can really accept:
1. We call the game, and everyone must agree on the winner.
2. At least all the big nations play it to end.

Of course if some people playing the big nations don't want to play to the end, I can't force them, but I'd really apreciate if they got someone else to continue the game for them if they stop playing.

The server was supposed to host the game recently, yet it didn't, instead my gods eye reports that the hosting was delayed by 72h.

Was that intentional?

No, it wasn't intentional. I don't know what happened... I've reset it to host at 11am EDT.
I would force-host it now, but I think funny things happen sometimes when you do that with a TCP game (I remember trying to convert a game with a friend to PBEM, kept getting errors...)
Hopefully it hosts in half an hour. Of course, you can't log in to play your turn then, since everyone will know it's you. Or maybe you can, since now everyone will know it's not you. Circles within circles... My head hurts.

Well, there's this way to pull the turn w/o it being visible. It seems like its actually working as god's eye reports that no nation has played yet

Is there any chance we can have one of the hosts on Saturday? I'm subbing for someone and it is very convenient for me to get up early Saturday and do both turns that day. I don't care when the other host is.

Thank's!
