Yup I staled. Not because of lack of time but because I forgot to send the turn after doing it, totally stupid
I second the call for a restart, not because I staled (my own fault), but I think it´s unacceptable that people steal someones player slot.
Still, even if we restart, we should host another time just to make contact with the guy. Apparantly he doesn´t know the customs here and meant no harm.
