Well, if you want an answer to boster your ego: I was almost interested, but was reminded that I have trouble keeping up with my *two* low-maintenance games, so a high-maintenance game with writing isn't going to work so well. I was also reminded of my habit to drop off anything involving writing after a short period of time, if nobody is standing nearby with a gun pointed in my direction.

If someone wants to join and doesn't want to or have time to write that'll be ok. The story part of it might be too much to ask, I just got a little carried away when thinking up all the possible angles for such a game. Heck, I may find myself without time for writing once school starts back up.

I would ask that you still abide by the "RPish" rule to avoid glassing human opponents worlds even if you aren't writing.

One of our players has withdrawn. The House of Xarthus needs a new leader.

I will be upfront and tell you that this particular empire is in last place, but that's not as bad as it sounds. The five houses are all behind the AI players still. The Xarthus are not getting eaten up as far as I can tell. Thier empire is intact. They are surounded by AI, but we all are.

The game has not yet gotten to the point of open conflict between the houses. There have been some border skirmishes between AI and a couple of us, maybe all of us at this point. There have been some disagreements over territory between humans, but nothing that has caused any conflict that I have been notified about.

Anyone interested? I'd hate to turn this spot over to the AI. The game was kind of designed with the idea of five human players and giving one to the AI at this point could upset the balance.

I *might* be able to take over. I'm still trying to get a feel for my schedule this semester. And there will probably be a few times where I'm away for 3 or 4 days, so I might miss a few turns.

Probably better to get someone with better availability, but if it gets to the point where you either really need to get a player or turn the AI on, let me know

So is anyone interested besides Will? I'd like to find someone that can play regularly. Turns are set to 72 hours, so it's not like you would have to play every day. On the other hand most of the turns so far have been pretty quick, so you don't have to worry about the game going too slow. The other players have been keeping it moving well.

I'll take it so long as it's not hopeless.
