I thought that Council of Wyrms turned out to be a total mess? I seem to recall players constantly looking for replacements so they could get out of it.
I don't think Council of Wyrms had any/many more problems than any game in its circumstances. Too many players, where generally speaking, the more players there are, the more are going to lose interest or suddenly realize that they're moving someplace with no internet access just two weeks after the games starts. And, with any game that winds up going for so long (think it nearly a year, possibly a bit more), there are going to be players whose circumstances in life change to where they can't invest the time or interest. (This is as opposed to the ones who were just too thoughtless (being nice here *g*) to realize this from the start.)

As it was, it was quite a nice change from the usual Dom2 games, and with some tweaking it could have been even better. The cumulative VP provinces would have helped a lot, albeit Illwinter making them only get counted once a year isn't nearly as nice as it could have been.
