Replacements needed for PvK's Proportions Game #2

[PvK]

We had two players leave the rather fun PvK's Proportions Game #2 on PBW, and I'd like to get replacements before proceeding, if possible. We're still fairly early going and both empires are in very good shape. The quadrant is a slightly edited map which provides equal opportunity and close access to other nations from many directions, so action, if desired, is only a system away.
