It took some while for the wisdom of your distinction to sink in. In retrospect I realize we should have restarted on the spot with most of the original team. We can still do that. New game, new slate. We can make it VP game to make sure it will not last a long time. The way this game goes it has the potential to continue for a very long time. But if some of the players want to go on I'll respect that, and refrain from turning AI (for the meantime).

I've come to dislike my nation, its just too much like work. I thought that Rylah was mismanaged at first, but now I see how much fodder Rylah makes. Makes Pan look silly.

PS: I will continue as long as you wish, Let me have a path to them, TC that is.

Well, Qwerty is different since it started out as a team game. By now all teams but one are played by a single player. So it actually turned out to be a one player handles two nations game

Would you prefer a staling R'lyeh?

Staling or AI'd R'lyeh disperse 90% of the game intrigue imo. Personally I'd vote for postponing the game till we find a sub. LA R'lyeh is the most popular LA nation and here even a lime-green player can gain experience of operating lategame R'lyeh with a leading position in MP. I think we should just advertise the vacancy properly, maybe using some eye-catching posters with tentacles, naked girls, hordes of FREE!!1 chaff, insane cats and all the stuff :/

I don't think postponing the game until we find a sub is a good option.
The game is already hanging by a thread. What with two players missing and the TC AI running amok. Add to that an indefinite wait for a sub and you may cause the rest of the players (me included) to lose whatever shred of interest they had left in this game.

Hey, if you so care for R'lyeh you should arrange some incentive for the potential sub, like a free supply of blood beer made in Mictlan breweries

Well, this game has been providing a very unique feeling of survival horror, and human-controlled R'lyeh could easily be the next evil super-empire that requires global nations cooperation to deal with. But if we set it to AI, the game becomes just another pretty predictable lategame snail.

But why all these sad thoughts

Bwaha is back and will assume control over neglected R'lyeh

Is there any way we can delay Turn 78's deadline until January 3rd?? Know it will probably be due the 1st, but going on vacation and not sure if the weather will cooperate. Already sent in this turn, and it isnt due until the 28th---hopefully it wont be too long of a delay--thanks
