RAND2 - full, everyone send me an email

Caelum was played by my son Tauren. The problem was, he got a 40-hour per week job in addition to his 40-hour per week school and therefore did not have time for Dominions. He staled the last 20+ turns in RAND2 and was therefore quickly eliminated. Before that, he was doing well and even had a chance at winning the game.

He has also been staling in COW (I think), but has not been eliminated there because of the council.

Ah, too bad.
I hope the job and school are going well...

So, with Dom3 looming large in the horizon: How about we call this quits once it ships? I'm not saying that I'm not having fun with this (nor am I saying I am having fun with this, to keep up with the cloak&dagger bit

), but I wouldn't mind getting a clean slate to enjoy Dom3 with. (Not saying that this is a time sink or anything, mind you, nor that this isn't

) What do folks think?

I think I'll leave the server running until someone has the required VPs. Everyone is welcome to keep playing turns, or find replacements, or turn their nations AI, or let them sit unoccupied, as they wish. Of course, it's possible that someone will win properly before people get their hands on Dom3... In fact I hope so (in a hope purely abstracted from any aspirations that I may or may not harbor).

I for one would like to continue this one until it's proper end. I think Ygorl's suggestion makes sense, so it has my vote.

This game has been going on so long, that I'd really hate to see it end with people stopping playing and becoming AI's. I have really enjoyed this game, and it would totally suck, if the winner would be just that someone who kept playing after others stopped. That would somewhat ruin the whole game for me and all time spent to it. It wouldn't be a worthy ending at all. There are some big nations in the game and if one of them becomes AI, it will have a huge impact on the chances of winning to other nations. Some of the tiny nations probaly could go AI without too big effect on the game, but not the big ones.

To me there are only two choices that I can really accept:
1. We call the game, and everyone must agree on the winner.
2. At least all the big nations play it to end.

Of course if some people playing the big nations don't want to play to the end, I can't force them, but I'd really apreciate if they got someone else to continue the game for them if they stop playing.

The server was supposed to host the game recently, yet it didn't, instead my gods eye reports that the hosting was delayed by 72h.

Was that intentional?
