I'm breaking radio silence since I think private emails to Dimaz won't cut it.

I'm truly concerned for the fate of this game. I think what's happening here is unacceptable, the whole game is held hostage by Atlantis player. This is not the first, nor 2nd, pause in this game due to this player but it's certainly the most annoying.
You know what, if he had a good reason and Dimaz were to tell us: "guys, a player just had yyy happen to him so needs a week's extension" I'd have understood and accepted, but it looks to me like he couldn't care less that the game is stuck and we are all kept waiting.

Anyway, something has to be done, like take a few days to search 4 a sub starting right now, else turn him AI. It's bad, but IMHO better than forfeit the game.
If he re-appears I hope he'll be more considerate in the future.
