The player behind Jomon unfortunately has some real-life issues, and can no longer continue playing, so I'm looking for a sub.
MonkeyParadise is a newb-only game, so I'd love if a new or new-ish player would take over. We started out with 10 players, and now (in turn 44), 3 players have either been eliminated or are on the verge of elimination and have gone AI.
Score graphs are off, but Jomon is not a weak nation in-game. They control a significant amount of provinces, are strong in magical research, and are generally thriving. They are not currently at war with anyone, so there would be no aggressive diplomacy required on assuming the position. You would be assuming a strong position, and I'm sure everyone in game would be willing to give you ample time for the first few turns to familiarize yourself with what you've got.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or are interested in subbing. The game is, all in all, going quite well.
And thank you.
