Well, of course I'm severely handicapped, having less than you of everything and can't make use of my diplomatic achievements.... but rather than letting this game rot, I'd prefer to go down fighting

Two problems -

a) I'm still fighting what's left of Machaka (another thing handicapping me), and can't really focus on an outer enemy when having a rampaging AI around. Could we agree on a cease-fire for, say, three turns on the mainland where I'm still getting rid of Machaka? I mean the area west of where a few footmen of yours died this turn.

b) We'd need the admin password and another delay. I had hoped that the other players would show up and explain why they didn't submit, but... well, won't happen. I'll ask Quitti for the admin rights.

I overslept my turn (damn fridays ). I'll be willing to give admin rights to Toran since he's more active here than me.

Heya, guys - I've postponed the game now for one more day. We just need to decide how to go on, definitely. Quitti has submitted a turn, but I haven't heard anything from Baalz even though he wrote he'd go on in this game...

Also, what about the two AI candidates? What happened about those? They should be set only AI if it's not going to be the "Toran dies at Jazzepi's feet"-showdown game type...

Mictlan has staled the past 4 turns, he's out.
Atlantis has been staling the past 5 turns, he's out.

That only leaves C'Tis and Abysia for consideration.

Baalz (Abysia) hasn't said anything here since the whole thing began. I would simply PM him and ask him.

Quitti (Quitti) seems interested in playing.


So let's get Mictlan and Atlantis set to AI. Send Baalz a PM, and then set Abysia to AI if he doesn't want to play anymore.

Also, we might do well with a longer hosting schedule. Toran, can you postpone the game another 24 while we figure this all out?

Game is postponed, no problem. I knew it would take some time to clear this, I'm just no friend of postponing for one week and then "just" put it back to two days, while maybe someone is away, counting on that week.

It'd be a pity if we had to set half the players to AI, making a really large game. Anyway, I'll PM Baalz.

Ah, sorry, this dropped off my radar with all that snafu, I'm game to keep going, I should be able to submit a turn later today.

Okay, so that only leaves us with Mictlan and Atlantis set to AI and the rest of the players still in position.

Okay. I've never done that game admin thingy before - in order to set a nation to AI I need a player not in the game that submits the turns with orders to set to AI, correct? Should I just ask in the MP forum, or is there anyone I could approach directly?

Just to bump - what's the exact procedure needed for me to switch those nations to AI?

You are correct, you need somebody not in the game to do it, get a volunteer and switch the nations email address to theirs. They'll submit a turn going AI.
