I vote for both R'yleh and Ermor personally.
And I don't agree at all that more relaxed games tend to die. Yes they will die if players who prefer fast games sign up for them, as these players get bored and disappear. A slow paced game is fine if the players know what they are signing up for when they agree to play, which in this case they will if they bother to read the status page. If players who like fast paced games sign up for this game, and then drop it due to it's slow pace, then it's full shame and blame on them, and nothing to do with the pace of the game at all.

But if the person running the game is willing to do abit of judge/jury/executioner without calling for votes then it can be workable. Maybe it should be clearly stated how long with no contact will be considered too long before admin takes action.

I don't quite understand this. Is the 'holding everything up' reference in regards to someone who is staling, or someone who is always leaving it until the last minute to submit their turn? If it is the former, then they can just be dealt with like normal stalers (assuming non-playing admin involved somewhere). And the latter for me is not even an issue.
