All The Nations (new game)

Game's responding, but ... Vanheim is demanding a password, which I haven't been using / setting. Guess there was a reason it said Vanheim had taken its turn.

Hmm, still 8 players outstanding. I fear that during the delay getting started, some folks have wandered off. In the event that more than a couple of nations stale the first turn, what should we do ?

Reply here with the maximum number of stales you would tolerate before voting for a restart. For me, it's 2.

As one of the stale turn players, I'd vote happily for a restart whenever - I can't take my turns, because (near as I can tell) someone uploaded a pretender over the top of mine, with a password.

Well I just took my turn and it's still Turn 1 with 9 hours to go. Nobody has gotten a stale turn as far as I can see.

I was surprised to see that the game got started somehow, and I assume the other 6 people who haven't gone yet aren't aware yet.

That is correct, but in 9 hours time there will be at least one nation (Vanheim) not in. I want to know from the players if they think that's enough to warrant a restart. If not, how many dropouts on turn 1 does warrant a restart? Cainehill is the only person to have answered my question.

And on the subject of Cainehill/Vanheim, will the person who gazumped his position come out with your hands up!! I won't shoot, I just need the password, so the position can be offered to its rightful owner or converted to AI.

If the people who "drop" would be turned to AI I'd be willing to play with up to 6 drops myself.

geh, i'd rather start a new one than have to bot a bunch right off the start.

edit: well, actually, 17 is a bit unreasonable for a game

might be something to be said for a bunch of bottings.
