Not necessarily. When The Baron dropped, I wasn't sure what to do. I gave it some time to see if he would change his mind. While waiting to see, I noticed there weren't many inquiries (till yours) about the status of the game. I took that to indicate a possible lack of interest.
IF there IS still interest, then a replacement would need to be found for The Baron. There are people available now (whose starting rating of 1,000 points doesn't really represent their ability) who weren't available when the draft was started. So, I hesitate to look at those as, hmmmm, fair replacements. But, if everyone on our team voted to allow anyone on the list as an acceptable choice, then I'd go along with it.
On the other hand, saying Asmala must choose a replacement for the Baron from the people who were on the list at the time the draft started...well, I'm not sure that's fair either...to be forced to take, perhaps, someone with lessor ability than the Baron.
SO, I'm a bit at a loss as to what to do. (did I make sense?)
