Okay, makes sense.

If you have any contact with YellowCactus maybe you could play his turn for him? Or just default to buying troops, researching, preaching, etc. with no attacks or movement.

The moderator for my other pbem game plays your turn if you miss it which is better than just a turnover with nothing done or purchased.

We could probably all agree to some basic guidlines is such a situation where you have the authority to play a turn on someone's behalf in the interest of keeping the game moving.

Hmm, it should be possible for me to do the standard stuff (which cannot hurt a player) such as research and recruiting. I am keeping the old turn files in case a third party check is required; for example, if someone claims there have been quite a few gifts going to Arcoscephale.

Ulm (Yellow Cactus) is password protected in this case however, so doing any kind of turn for Ulm will not be possible, unless I get *very* lucky.

Now that 2.14 is out, we'll be switching to that right?

We will eventually switch to 2.14 indeed; I guess once Yellow Cactus is back and fully settled. The main bugfixes of the 2.14 should affect the late game rather than the first few turns.

I am currently waiting for two player files: Pangaea and Ulm (Enforcer and Yellow Cactus respectively). Since I cannot play Ulm's turn because of the password, I guess Yellow Cactus will miss a few of the turns to come.

Hm perhaps we could wait in this special case for Yellow Cactus . It was force majeure .

Sorry. Got a few phone calls and then the wife beat me to getting on the internet. You should have my turn very soon.

Waiting is a possibility in this case indeed. The problem is that Yellow Cactus probably didn't know when he will come back, so we cannot be sure for how long we will have to wait.
