I PMed StrictlyRockers a few days ago to find out what's happening, but haven't had any response (although know he's a very busy person in real life, so wouldn't be surprised if things have just cropped up for him). Hate to find a sub, or AI someone 'behind their back' as it were, but it's a bit unbalancing to have a decent sized nation just sitting there doing nothing for so long.

This is a very quiet thread, but still hope I can get some opinions on this. Also, who is the admin for this game now? I'm pretty sure Chrispedersen was at the start, but he dropped out ages ago, and not sure who (if anyone) took over.

I still try to pay attention = ). I said when I was knocked out I don't mind doing admin .. or handing it over to someone - but that someone would have to tell me when something needed doing - I don't mind reading the forums periodically, but I can't check all the games.

So, if someone wants the job - happy to hand it over else, would you like a delay while you look for a sub for Strict?

He should be subbed or at least put to AI, It's better than to just wait for someone to kill him off without a fight.

If nobody objects, I'm going to ask Chrispedersen to delay the game for 48hrs, and try to find a sub for Vanheim (StrictlyRockers). If no sub is found, then I suggest the position gets turned AI.

Hard to tell what the Vanheim position is like, but it may well still be tenable since they had a very good start, still appear to be 'in the game' (from the graphs anyway) and must be sitting on a huge stack of cash right now due to the stale turns. So somebody may pick them up and prevent another nation going AI

If you still need someone I'd like to sub for Vanheim. It would be a shame for you guys to play against an AI and even though I haven't played MP for almost 2 years I'm pretty sure I can put up a better fight than the AI.

[StrictlyRockers]

It looks like I may need a sub. I have not had internet access for the past week. I am still working on that. Also my dad has gotten into a very serious motorcycle accident. If you find a sub, that's fine. I may still be able to play, but not sure when I can pick it back up. Very sorry to have staled last few turns. We were just getting to the good part.

[Calahan]

Sorry to hear about you real life problems Strictly Rockers. Hope they sort themselves out soon and that your father makes a full and speedy recovery.

Saarub.

Great to hear you fancy stepping into the Vanheim shoes. Certainly a bonus to all the players if a still competitive nation can avoid being turned AI. So a big thanks from everyone for offering up your time and talents for this game

Have sent you a PM.

[Dragar]

I'm sorry to hear the bad news Rockers, hope your dad is ok. Best of luck, hope to have you back playing soon

[Calahan]

Ok everyone, looks like we're back up to a full compliment of players now as 'Saarud' has kindly and bravely taken over the Vanheim position. Apologies for the delay, but hope you all agree it was worth it to prevent losing another nation to the AI.

Also, I've taken over from Chrispedersen as the admin for this game, so any problems or delay requests please PM me or post in the game thread.

Game on

Aarrgh, just realised that 'anticipatient' (who appears to have gone AWOL in all his games) is playing Agartha in this game, so a replacement will need to be sought asap (I thought it was someone else who was doing the stale turns, so just checked the thread to find out who it was)

Will look for a sub now, and delay the game slightly if needed to try and find one. Agartha are one of the top nations, so definitely don't want to see them AI-ed.
