		Heck, I don't know if Pyg was joking in the "I want to be a queen" thread, but, considering the difficult sale Kailasa might be at this point (but then again, it might not), I'd say, what the hell, let him set Hinnom AI (not much but the Sphinx left in the tank), and take over Kailasa

		It'd work, I've seen it done in games before.  Good way to keep ahold of a good player too.

		That's fine, as long as Pyg sends me all their gold and gems, so that I can spend them avenging myself on his hated enemy... Pyg!  HA HA HA HA HA!

 S**t, at this point I'd be willing to take anyone, especially if we knew they wouldn't stale or bail (and I think Pyg has done himself proud on both accounts)!

		Looks like Maerlande has agreed to sub for Kailasa!  Since he can't post here though, folks will have to go to "the other place", if you want to communicate quickly.

		"Hey Twobits. Can you do me a favour and post in the game thread that I'd like to learn about any diplomatic agreements in place? I can read shrapnel but not post." - from Maerlande 
 
Done.  From my end, I'm pretty sure Kailasa is not actively at war with anyone (Yomi seems to have taken over the effort to finish off Hinnom, and while Kailasa had besieged Arco's capital previously before being driven off, Marverni seems to be drawing the wrath of the Greeks currently - still plenty of punch left there - at this point).

		Ok.. I updated the opening post, with the players as I know them.  Please report any errors. 
 
I haven't heard on VP's Verji; do you have any to report/update? 
(Why stop now). 
 
The last I heard of the situation with kailasa was page 36 of the thread.  Want to say thanks to Maerlande for prefering monkey meat.  The other red meat.  It really sounds like between  Dr P., verji, Two Bits,etc you have a great contest going on with good secondary players as well.

		If you look back to my last post regarding VP's, I didn't stop because I didn't want to claim more VPs, but rather because all of the VP Provinces have been taken from me.  I have but two provinces left.
