It's unfortunate to see parone go, but if you have chosen to do so, then there's little to do.

there is no password. i don't beleive in security...

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 7/8 Players Remaining
 

also, at this point, i would not want to sub into my position. three stales and me repaying some debts have gutted what was Ulm. you'd be better off going ai.

however, it's up to you.

Also they will be plunged headfirst into a war; I cannot afford to give any grace period, as I am second to last in the graphs and fall behind in terms of resources every turn, thus must press on.

guys, how do i go AI? seriously, what menu do i use?

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 7/8 Players Remaining
 

hmmm. i think i got it

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 7/8 Players Remaining
 

There's a button in the options called "Become computer controlled", but since we are(I think?) looking for a sub, since some crazy person might want to test out mid-high level Ulm, you shouldn't press it yet.

crap tiavals, i had already hit it. im sorry, didn't think a sub was in the loop.

Re: Middle Age Crisis ,CBM1.94+Assimilation mod 1.1 7/8 Players Remaining
 

A nation is not permanently set to computer controlled until the turn hosts. So if the admin delays the game, and turns quickhost off, then that will allow a substitute player to send in a turn file to overwrite the orders to turn AI. (providing a sub can be found).

Re: sub hunting
It is a common fallacy to assume that subs are hard to find for poor or hopeless postions, as the truth it usually the exact opposite of this. Since if a player knows their longterm commitment to the game is going to be short-lived, and with limited time requirements for turns, then it is quite likely that a player will sub in if it only means spending 5 minutes per turn for a dozen turns.

It is actually the good positions that are hard to find subs for, as in those cases a substitute player might have to commit an hour of more each turn for an indefinate period of time, and to a position and game they have no conection to or personal interest in. And finding a player willing to take on that level of fresh commitment can be very difficult, and almost impossible if a newbie isn't acceptable (for whatever raeson)
