It's now been over a week that we're looking for a sub, and there has been absolutely no interest despite multiple bumps and pleas. I am not sure what to do about this. Any suggestions?

It really would be nice to finish this game somehow.

Sorry I haven't been posting much. Work got crazy busy, so while I've been sad that Inindo couldn't continue as Abysia (seriously GG, Dude), and that the game has been on hold while we (hopefully?) sort out a stand-in, the timing was kind of good for me what with stuff being nuts.

Given that Groundworm is out of this game as a player, I think he's been doing a fine job trying to track down a sub, but I guess it's probably hard to find new players out there who are willing to take over for this one. Abysia is so well established and the game is obviously drawing toward a close - I guess it isn't easy to step in and take over a nation that large and advanced, with large and advanced opponents.

Seems to me we have 3 options:


1. Keep waiting and searching for a new-ish player to sub for Abysia.

If choosing this option, we should probably choose a timelimit. And if we're going to do this one of the remaining players should probably take this over from Groundworm. He's done a fine job, but I don't think it would be right for us to expect him to continue to cast about looking for subs for us in a game in which he's no longer playing.


2. Accept non-newb subs (even vets?).

This could be rough for those that are at war with Abysia or might soon be (or, well, everyone, since Abysia has a commanding position with a decent chance of victory in the hands of a skilled newb, nevermind a vet). However, it does increase the likelihood that we could find a sub and avoid the 3rd option...


3. Set Abysia AI.

This option really has one main selling point: We get to go on with the game. No more waiting.


Of course, I still have a bit of a crazy week at work and in RL in general, so I'm cool with not making up our minds until next week.

What're your thoughts? Are there other options that I'm not thinking of? What're everyone's preferences?

Putting Abysia in the hands of a veteran would be pretty deadly. Perhaps we could lean on Groundworm or the other players who have been eliminated to pick up Abysia. Setting Abysia AI would be a last resort.

I considered taking over for Abysia, but I decided that it was something I just don't want to do. My apologies to the rest of you, but I'm not that experienced with the Dominions endgame. I'm reaching the endgame in another game I've been playing from the beginning, and it's fun but very taxing to my poor inferior brain. I can't imagine how I'd begin to assimilate a nation as big as Abysia from the ground up.

So, my apologies, but I must continue to decline.

Though I'm giving up hope that anyone is interested, I'm bumping the thread to catch some more eyes. Still looking for an Abysia sub.

Thanks!
