Default PBW leave: looking for permanent replacements

I promise, I'll keep it short.

I am currently on a backup connection, which is 1) Unreliable 2) Slow 3) Not unlimited, meaning I am having a tough time playing my turns. I only get 50 hours a month, which is definitively not enough for me to play all my turns at PBW for a whole month. So I cannot technically play all my turns at PBW, and I am looking for permanent replacements for at least some of my games. Likewise, the situation is getting worse with every day and not better, without any kind of reliable ETA for the DSL (it should have been around August 20th. The year wasn't mentioned though, so nothing tells me it is to be set up in 2004).

The most important candidates begging for a new player are the following games:
- Adamant 013 and 014: A quick turnaround (36 hours), few players, modded game. You have a strong Empire in expansion, but both Empires can be altered quite a lot.
- Adamant 012: Turns are very quick to do (a few minutes without rushing), where the focus of my Empire is war. You have virtually no economy, but too many warships on your hands.
- Adamant 011: An Empire with a mighty economy, but an average military. Interesting for players who love economics and micromanaging (between half an hour and one hour without paying too much attention), or who have a grudge against Asmala (a war is going on with him, but there has been very little fighting).
- NGC4: A slower turnaround (72 hours), but a very big game to download. The turns themselves can go rather quickly since my Empire doesn't have the resources to build more stuff (maintenance alone is higher than income). You are fighting a suicidal war against Roanon, and your military is weak (albeit numerous).
- TGE3: The turnaround is of 60 hours, and the turns may take some time to do (not so much too; more or less half an hour on average, and possibly less if you cut down on my micromanaging). The Empire there is first, has a lot of potential, is wealthy and quite big, but has to pay attention to diplomacy to avoid being declared MEE. A nice game if you want a challenge of "You are the most powerful Empire in the galaxy, but can you keep this position?". If you are reading me Slynky, you will have to decide on whether this falls under RL reasons or not (the game went into enforced deadlines a few days ago).

These are my current games without ALPU where I feel I won't be able to keep on playing. Since I cannot stay Online for too long, I am also reluctant to ask for ALPU; it could go on for a few days needlessly. So I would prefer to find a replacement for the above games. If you are interested, please let me know so I can withdraw from the said game, and give you some information about what happened before.

If anybody has a better idea, feel free to point it out; I cannot figure out a way of making it work, and I have no other backup available for playing SEIV.

With my apologises for the hassle, and to the players in the games aforementioned,
Alneyan
