Casual PBEM (Full & playing)

Turn hosted...
However, no sign yet of anyone wanting to play Arcoscephale...

I think this time we should not stale Arco until we find a replacement, as it weakens him too much.
You guys agree to put him AI if no one shows up before next hosting, say, Sunday evening?

I recommend making a fresh thread in the forum just to announce the opening, I bet we'll find someone. Thread titles don't get updated much, people are far more likely to notice a brand new thread than a change in title on a long and old one.

I'm with delaying hosting as much as possible until we get a replacement. The game is too far gone. If Arcoscephale goes AI that will disrupt the Balance. The suggestion of opening a new thread seems to me a good one.

[RicoRico]

done :-)

8/14 received.
Still waiting for replacement.

[Morkilus]

Well, I'd rather play Arco than Oceania at this point; Arco's been squishing my all game.

[Sorlakind]

For what it's worth, *if a replacemenmt is not found* I have no problems with Morkilus taking Oceania. Oceania is a nation occupying but a corner in the world and I don't see it making any sort of comeback. So if a nation end's up going AI it might as well be the weakest.

On the other hand, I cannot foresee what sort of imbalances this will bring, so take my opinion as you will.

[RicoRico]

It's not looking so good with the replacement thing I guess... Not a lot of response.
I personally would not have that much of a problem with having Oceania go AI, and Morkilus taking Arco..
This would give him quite an advantage I guess, as he knows the ins and outs of Oceania, giving him a head start in taking Oceania's land...
But still, like Sorlakind said: a weak nation going AI won't be as bad for the whole game..

What do you guys say?

[Evilhomer]

last turn i forged 2 sea kings goblets, knowledge or not, oceania is dead, so it's probably a lot better setting oceania to AI.

[Teraswaerto]

I've no problem with Morkilus taking Arco.
