Why not set it to AI and just keep going?

I'm not sure we are waiting for the replacement. But if we are, I suggest we let Ulm stall until the situation is sorted.

I guess we are waiting for Ulm and limbo... but we can't wait forever, so I set the server to host in 24 hours, notify your neighbors and allies!

Alright, I went through the Mosehansen web front-end with limbo's password and found it does display the master password there. I tried to open my own turn file with it but it didn't work. Anyone know why that is?

More importantly is there anything to be done with Ulm if the master doesn't work? It's needed for setting the nation to AI, too. I guess we could just leave it be, essentially 24h fixed hosting; that cool with everyone?

one warning - there was a bug (probably still is ) whereby if you use the masterpassword to set a nation to AI (or play his turn probably) while still playing your turn from the same install you used the masterpass from, you will get a forced stale for your own nation.

ie. try to have someone else do it

What about finding replacements, rather than just AIofying them?
I know it would take a bit longer, but we've waited this long and it just seems a shame to throw them away.

It seems the master password doesn't work at all, so we might have to go with the staling. All the more reason to yell and scream our remaining players back to business!

I have e-mailed Mose about the problem with the password, so let's hope that he will find a solution to allow us to get subs for missing players. If not, then I guess we should pool our national passwords on some third party to avoid such incident again, and let Ulm stale until its gone.

Anyways, new turns in ~20 hours, so stay tuned, and wake up your allies! (Especially those not seen on the Boards or elsewhere in a while. In fact I guess it wouldn't hurt to PM or e-mail every player who hasn't been active on the Boards lately. Could someone do it please, I'm in a hurry!)
