Priori - New MA Game (Draw)

[thejeff]

Machaka's played this turn, so I wouldn't assume he's out.

T'ien Ch'i and Ulm have both been staling for awhile and Ulm, at least, has potential to affect the game. I don't know what state T'ien Ch'i is in.

As far as I'm concerned it's really not worth continuing with one major power AI and two repeatedly staling, especially since the geography favors Ermor. An AI C'tis is likely to attack Vanhiem and me and keep Machaka focused on him, while a staling Ulm serves as a save buffer for him.

I'm going to PM Hetzer and Ylvali and see where they stand. If we don't hear anything from them within a day or so, we can try to find replacements. As much as I hate to delay more, I'd like to postpone hosting until then. That'll give more time to find a sub for C'tis as well.

If all else fails, though I'd rather play out Man's demise, I'll take over one of them. Maybe BigDisAwesome and/or Cor2 can do the same?
