Good to see someone else taking the initiative in this way when sub searching. No idea why it's not used more often, as I've used this "sub-swap deal" a few times in the past to find subs, and have usually found it very useful in filling the tighter spots. Especially when experienced players are needed/preferred. The extra game is usually a burden of course, but I guess that burden is weighed against not wanting your other game to fall apart.

One word of warning though, you still need to be careful who you are dealing with, as last time I did this I got properly shafted on the deal. As while I fulfilled my end of the deal as a dutiful sub until the game ended (and became the admin), the other end of the deal was broken by the guy I swapped with. As he only played six turns before disappearing, most of which were stales, with the ones he played consisting of nothing but him killing off all his mages and troops as soon as possible, and for nothing. Thereby turning a powerful and important position into complete ruin in short order. It was like watching a Lemming slide-show. Never did thank that guy for his efforts, so "Thank You for that Hadrian II. Well done you D-bag".

But you won't have any problems with his Lord Amhazair, as he is a known gentleman of honour, integrity, and of fine moral standing. A man who had been a pillar of the community for several years, and is the product of good breeding and excellent grooming. (or at least that's what this card in front of me says)
