Okay, I see your point.

I suppose in 90% of all cases, having a distant other player sub for you will go just as well as anyone else. But the problem is that there is just so much room for abuse. They could send themselves some gems, items or gold on the first turn, behave on the second, and nobody would be the wiser.

I just really don't like the idea of someone playing 2 players in 1 game.

edit: I suppose under these circumstances I won't make a problem out of it because there's not a better solution, at least that I can think of.

I agree entirely Griefor, although I'd hope that people here would be honest enough to not abuse the trust. Certainly people I've encountered so far in the game have seemed very trustworthy. But even abuse aside, there's going to be an intelligence advantage.

Unfortunately there are still no volunteers. I'm kindof hoping that the server doesn't come back until I get back, or at least close, so that this isn't an issue...

Perhaps if there is an internal sub, the sub should announce to everyone what Mictlan has done that turn, and who they encountered?

Anyone have any idea of when the server will be back? I'll keep checking just in case..

No problem. It was pretty easy after all. Too bad about the game still being down though, I hope it returns soon.

well I'm about to start a new game, since this one is down. It will be on llamaserver, and is going to be the start of a series of games; the zorro (aka "false fox") series. look for it very soon (as in now!)

Yeah, I'm getting a bit frustrated here. This was supposed to be my first MP game, and it lasted, what, six turns? Sad, really. Best to abandon this game and start anew, methinks.
