If Dexlyn doesn't take his turn by this evening (or come onto the forum and explain his absence) I'll move him to computer control.

For obvious reasons, I'd prefer to have Pythium remain human controlled or to have a new human take over.

I'd have to have a whole new diplomatic status with a new player.

If anyone knows anyone who wants to take his position, I'm certainly willing to allow that.

If the process of finding a sub takes too long, we run the risk of the other players dropping out. It has been a while since the last turn hosted, and interest may be beginning to wane already among those of us still here.

Why not just letting him stale a turn or two for the moment ? After all it was said since the beginning : "if the game comes to a halt I will set an interval.". To replace or turn Dexlyn AI without a word from him is a little harsh if he's going to come back and have more time to play in a near future, but I think we don't want to wait for him 4 days each turn. A 36 or 48h quickhost would solve the problem untill he gives some news.

I believe Dexlyn/Pythium has kept us waiting in previous turns before.

I suggest leave his nation for the next 2 turns, to see if anyone can sub or Dexlyn to turn up. If neither happens, turn him AI. Its better to have the AI play him than no one at all.

I had another player drop out who was my neighbour in another MP and turn AI. The AI put up a far better fight than the previous player. It was very annoying but amusing also.

If anyone goes away or wants to drop out, its only fair to let the host know. Rather than have us all hanging on like this.

Force host the turn now, and if pythium has not played when he is alone left next turn, turn him AI.
