Morla is around. I'm in both the MorlaEA and MorlaMA games and have been exchanging PMs with him here and there. I believe he was supposed to be without internet access from the 1st through today so maybe he'll pop back up soon.

Moanarette I can't speak for but I can say (as a close neighbor of his in the game) that he's in the process of losing a war to T'ien Ch'i and won't likely be in the game too much longer. He's trapped in a corner with only me (uninvolved) and T'ien Ch'i (invading) to keep him company so I think his conquest is just a matter of time. As such, setting Man to AI won't massively alter the game the same as setting Jomon to AI.

If Morla remains MIA I say we get a sub, if possible. If not then we vote on a winner (if any) and call it good. There are really only two wars left to fight: Jomon vs. Atlantis-Marignon-Agartha and then some combination of the winners from that war fighting over who gets the win (most likely being Marignon vs. Atlantis with Agartha and T'ien Ch'i weighing in when and where they see fit). If Jomon goes AI it kind of spoils the mid-to-late game fun. I worked hard to get a good anti-Jomon coalition in motion and relish both that fight and the inevitable backstabbings that'll follow.
