Immaculate, I did want to get this rehost done and out of the way quickly so that you could at least get in one more turn before you went.

The burden of responsibility for finding replacements is generally split between the player and the Captain, with the primary responsibility resting ultimately on the Captain (since the Captain is in charge of the team). As admin I assist in this with alternates at the very beginning of the game and I also try to assist during the game as best I can without interfering too much.

Generally, setting a single player AI on a human team is to be avoided if possible. If a replacement cannot be found in the short term, other team members can receive and play your turn for you (although key violations may result) or worst case, it can be set AI, your fellow team members would then just need to cannibilize your territory as quickly as possible. We can also institute a delay if the other players are happy with it till a replacement is found. If the nation in question is small or not of much concern, your Captain may even opt for a few stales.

I've sent a few PM's out and will continue to do what I can to assist teams as much as I am able. Let's all do what we can to help out Immaculate and get another player into the game.
