Yes I feel bad for C'tis, he did send a message asking for one. But it doesn't do any good to send ME the message, it's not hosted on my computer and I don't have any more control over it than any of you do. If there's an unavoidable mechanical failure you need to tell Gandalf if its just a short term problem.

Though its not the best outcome, at least C'tis wasn't at war with anyone at the time. Heck I staled the very first turn through no fault of my own and I just kept truckin. Heh.

As for Vanheim... what can you really do. Some people are just like that. Barring some explanation for why he showed so little respect for the rest of us, not much one can do besides ****list him and avoid his games in the future, as well as not invite him to yours. An AI player at this point of the game would be extremely disruptive; I don't think we have any real choice but to let him stale away.
