I would rather play but it is fine with me if you decide to stop the game.
Any solution to keep going is a good one.

Its twelve days which is quite a bit of time, not only to wait to play again but to have someone taking over your nation. I wouldnt like my empire taken over for potentially 15-16 turns, even by someone I liked and trusted. However this is the one multi player game I have going so two weeks hurts quite a lot. Solution: Im going to join another newbie game. So my vote is wait.

I think we should continue with a sub. Is Dragonfire playing in this game - he is not listed on Mosehansen?

Im ok with Dragonfire, I just don't like Beorne!

Just kidding you Beorne, you know the circumstances!

But really, if Dragonfire is not on his Last breath as it originally appeared, that might not be a good idea either.

Has no one offered to substitute that is not in-game? This is so strange!

Dragonfire is playing as Melkor on the server. And Ermor's situation has improved from before. I no longer expect to be out of the game within a few turns. So that leaves us with a tough question. If I am not mistaken, we need to decide today. We can pause the game, I can cover, or someone else can cover. Can I make a suggestion? Can we have the game's host decide the matter? This will make the determination quick and final, but we should know in advance whether anyone would be totally unhappy with this proposed solution.

Default Re: Dragonfire11 pinch-hitting for the Dawg

As your game host, I offer the following options:

1. My son has offered to sub for Pasha Dawg while he is gone. Now, everyone must know what this will mean. Because we have only one CD key between the two of us, we will be forced to both do both turns on my computer. This makes it very hard for us to be at war with each other. However, I currently have a peace agreement with Pasha (Ulm) in this game, so the difficulty in fighting a war should not be a problem in the near term. The other thing is that my son was the first eliminated as Ulm in the Pantheons game when he was hit with a 2 on 1, so maybe Pasha might be a bit concerned about that.

2. I can pause the game for ten days. But it will be problematic getting the game restarted in early October as we would have to wait for another Mose Hansen game to either end or pause to open up a slot for me to restart our game. This will likely take several more days of constant checking to make happen. Could be even longer, like a week or so. I do not recommend this option at all.

3. I do not mind Dragonfire subbing, since he is not adjacent to Ulm. I also think that Dragonfire is probably going to be eliminated within the next 10-20 turns anyway. If this option is selected, then Dragonfire must agree to transfer nothing between the two sides. Nothing at all, even a trade.

4. In any event, I can change the schedule to 3 or 4 day QH while Pasha is gone.

Chime in quickly on opinions. I am currently leaning towards options 3 and 4 right now and will go that route unless people post strong opinions otherwise.

Default Dawg solution

Ah! Now I understand! Panther & Grim Knight have tought about a good solution to resolve the PashaDawg issue! I think that to 2 or 3 turns I will be free to substitute him for Ulm without any conflicting interests!
Small powers, be aware!

lol, Boerne, I can assure you that the recent move against you had nothing to do with Pasha at all. Opportunity knocked, and had to be answered!
