Yes. I've noticed that this is pretty common in no diplo games. Once a war is started there's no way to end it so if one side doesn't win quickly both parties are doomed.

Indeed, Ygorl had returned from a hiatus. It was nice to have him play again.

Most turns are delayed now, so how about we move to 2 turns a week, say Thurs/Sun? We are (slowly) getting to the endgame, so it seems reasonable.

I am certainly happy with that if players are. How about a Wednesday / Sunday schedule?

Sounds good to me.

I actually think I know who will win this game anyway, don't worry I won't say who. So playing the remaining turns is probably a waste of everyones time anyway. I am not being in the least bit defeatist here by the way and will happily fight to the bitter, bitter end. Its just by this turn or earlier I have been able to predict with 100% (no joking) accuracy the eventual winner.

If enough players feel the same way, ie that they already know the winner and that future hours invested in doing there turns could be better spent doing something else more productive, we could have a vote where the remaining players PM/Email Pasha with who they think will win (in a secret honest ballot) and then perhaps call the game?

I know alot of experienced players are stubborn and refuse to admit defeat no matter what, so will understand completely if everyone wants to continue and do those fuitless, waste of time turns...

I totally agree with Meglobob, but with current VPs I think that game will never end in reasonable time frame. I have said long time ago that it should probably be declared as draw and new RAND started, fixing problems from previous ones.
