To me there are two priciples involved. The 1st is that one player doesn't play two nations in the same game. The advantages over other players are obvious. The 2nd is that if a player agrees to set a nation to AI as condition for taking over another nation in the same game, then that player ought to be true to their word.

As far as I know, the player involved hasn't responded at all to our host's attempts to get him to set Mictlan to AI as he agreed to do, and this is also objectionable.

I agree that the relative feebleness of both nations is a mitigating factor, but on balance, I think its beside the point. I wouldn't mind seeing both nations set to AI using the master password.

Truthfully i never agreed to set Mictlan to AI. I was just going to take over T'ien Ch'i as a favor to those who didnt seem to want them set to AI. If general concensus is that I shouldn't be playing two nations, which is indeed reasonable, then I will set T'ien Ch'i to AI, and continue playing Mictlan.

ehh as tien chi is on the way out, it seems, which i wasn't quite aware of, I'm certainly happy to have whatever people say should happen, happen.

and, while its true tauren never explicitly said he would go AI, he never denied it either in response to my PM's to him.

if tien chi is on the way down this is rather moot, but it is still an important general principle, so whatever

Because T'ien Ch'i is probably going to die before Mictlan even(!), i didn't think it was a big deal. But i agree that it is an important general principle. I am prepared to set T'ien Ch'i to AI if people want me to, as i am loathe to give up Mictlan.

i dont care if tauren controls both since both nations are going to die anyway

but if he is required to turn one AI and wants to keep mictlan then we turn tien chi to AI and leave it at that

Gee, can _I_ control two nations for several turns too? That'd be neat, having the opportunity to send gems and gold back and forth, forge items with one nation for the other and all. And it's okay, as long as one of the nations is going to die, right? Ooops - _all_ nations but one eventually die. Guess it's okay to run any two nations?

Feh.
