Someone should PM him if they know him and see if maybe he has Computer or perhaps work related problems.
If he doesn't answer in 24 hours i suggest we start another game.
There is a vey good map called Darkheavens that is REALLY easy on the eyes and has starting spots and can take up to 17 people.
When your in the mid to late game and your turns are 2 hours a 'easy' on the eyes map is pretty good to have.
Just an opinion
