No worries. The Fed will step in and bail out those countries.

It appears that the LA Man player has vanished into the cosmic infidibulum. Assuming he doesn't show up - he gave me an e-mail address to contact him, which he seemed to create for this game, so I'm not sure if he checks the forums or that address anymore - is there any objection to my going and finding him a sub?

No objection from me, assuming the player harbors me no ill will

I am only one province away from having a border with LA Man and I have troubles aplenty with my naps dropping like flies near a Shell No Pest Strip.

Tell me when, and if, you find a sub. Otherwise I'll set him to AI.

HE is a big nation allied to DrP, maybe someone else should look for an ally?

But yeah, he does not check that forums, so you can contact him just only ingame messages or email. It would be quite bad to put nation so big on AI.

He has only staled 1 time. And given his consistent behavior over 56 turns i would certainly not set him to ai until he has staled a second time, and then a sub is looked for. I think he was an ally of Dr. P, so it is not unfair to let Dr. P look for a sub for him if he has gone.

Things happen. maybe his computer died(: Or his wife deleted Dominions from his hard drive. shrug.

He may not even be aware he staled. Typically when you submit a turn and llamaserver comes back up, it processes that turn. It is unusual that the turns were lost this time around. It is prudent to begin looking for a sub, especially if you are Dr. P, but LA Man may resurface.

Edit-actually that was his 1st stale in 56 turns. I would certainly be very cautious before setting someone to Ai that had not staled in 55 turns.

A quick note about EA Mictlan. While I have no information about EA Mictlan except their army graph, I have won a 30 person game with Mictlan before. When I did, my army graph looked exactly like that, since I was summoning one Onaqui after another in order to use them as free-spawn bat factories. The bats are fairly deadly and have no upkeep, and Mictlan will get more and more each turn so long as he's investing in Onaqui's. The Onaqui's are also very good in large games, since their cost has not been nerfed like clams and everything else. If you are neighbor of EA Mictlan, and you see giant bat armies flying around, you should think about stomping on Mictlan before their geometric growth gets too out of control.

I see slaves around there, billions of them. Probably as a food for bats.

Whew, ok, that makes me feel safer. Mictlan, please forget what I said about Onaqui spamming.

Thanks for your concern Admiral, but Ea Mictlan is not really any threat at the moment compared to several other races which should concern yourself and others much more!

I was already very much aware of the Onaqui and its useful auto-bat summoning ability btw but against some of the SC's already wondering around the bats have limited value. Even assuming I had the ability to cast weapons of sharpness/giant str on them.
