Re: Problem
OK, still no direct contact from Xox, and lacking any specific ETA from him, I would guess that he will eventually show up again, but on anywhere from a 1 - 5 day timeframe. On this basis I see the 2 most practical options as:
1) Reset the QH interval tonight, and allow Xox's position to stale once or twice, before seeking a substitute. I think it's actually been 2 days since he's played a turn, so in effect, this will give him 4 days before the 2d stale (or we could reset to 48hr QH, which would mean 6 days).
The downside of this option is that if we end up resorting to substitution anyhow, then its that much harder to find someone to take the position over. The upside is that it maximizes the chance that Xox shows up, while not bringing the game to a screeching halt while we wait for Xox to arrive.
2) Give Xox until 9am PST (GMT -8) tomorrow to show up. At that point, I would look for a substitute. We would need a substitute w/ some history on this board (preferably someone that's hosted a game), because I would have to give them the master PW in order for him to be able to play.
Anyone care to vote on these, or offer other alternatives?
