		 Unfortunately, I just joined several games   
 It is a great position, if rather unwieldy.

		It would be fun if Ermor would go to AI, that would for sure be an action that makes your puppets cry. And it would also send a message to every player in the world, that it is not a smart move to collaborate with LA Ermor.

		PM Xanatos if he wants to take over. He loves playing as LA Ermor AFAIK and he was recently in the IRC channel, too.

		 Ditch your other 3 games! 
 
 
  If this is the end for Velusion, then I will thank Velusion for being a good admin. of the Big Game. He stuck to his rules religiously, and kept the game progressing. 
 
 I can sympathize with the time it takes to do a turn now and my empire is half of what you are managing. And I made a point to limit myself to 2 games only. 
 
 It is my opinion that you are tied for 1st place. I think LA Ryleh with his endless s mages, is a very tough match for any race relying mostly on undead. So if I had to wager, my guess is LA Ryleh would have ultimately prevailed. 
 
 I think your alliance and access to the forge, however, gives you an edge on any other race. If you were to go AI though, I think that may effectively end the Big Game, as i do not see any other race having the resources to compete with LA Ryleh. 
 
 That is my 2 cents. But in any event, thank you for hosting the Greatest Game in the History of Dominions. 62 players. 
It will be hard to duplicate that feat.

		I would not yet drop the big game, even when Ermor should drop out, there are still MA Agartha, MA Ctis, EA & MA Pangaea that seem stron enough to win the game at the end. 
 
I dont think that it is already clear who has won, as i suspect in the end the game will be decided by diplomacy, and who gangs on whom and who gets ganged. (And as Ermor is sitting in the middle of the map i dont think he would have won in the end) 
 
Maybe if we increase the turn timer to 96h it might help to ease the micromanagement hell that ermor goes through.

		Increasing the turn timer sounds like a nice idea. Ermor is not the only nation with annoyingly large armies that needs baby sitting each turn.
