[Velusion]

There has been some discussion on subbing and how subs are found. I wanted to clear the air - and this applys to all the games I host.

1) I won't start looking for a sub for players unless they have at least staled once.
2) I post a thread in the MP forums asking for volunteers if the leaving player hasn't already. IF the previous owners ever wanted to exclude people from taking over their position I would honor it.
3) Other players who have a vested interest are free to bump the thread (as I might do) but only the original player can exclude people from taking over their empire.
4) If I deem a nation to be in a really bad shape I'll request that it be put on AI, rather than ask for a sub. The orginal owner is still free to find a real sub if he wishes.
5) Players still in the game may NOT sub for another nation.

My goal (and it can be hard) is just to find a warm body to take over the nation. I don't advertise or notify people before I put up the "sub needed" thread and I always go with first come first serve.

I would HOPE that the player taking over the nation will at least honor or give notice on NAPs. However, as the player could always lie, I won't bother trying to force this requirement.

I hope that this clears things up. I'm not always aware of the politics/disagreements that happened before/during the game... I just try to put a body with a nation... nothing more.
