EA Lanka is now under new leadership.

Anyone with NAP's/Alliances, agreements, PM or in game message me. I will give them due consideration and let you know if I will continue with them.

The new leadership bears no ill will to any other nation or god. Everyone has a clean slate as far as I am concerned.

In the next few turns or so EA Lanka will seek to just defend my own lands and not make any hostile actions vs anyone else.

There has been some discussion on subbing and how subs are found. I wanted to clear the air - and this applys to all the games I host.

1) I won't start looking for a sub for players unless they have at least staled once.
2) I post a thread in the MP forums asking for volunteers if the leaving player hasn't already. IF the previous owners ever wanted to exclude people from taking over their position I would honor it.
3) Other players who have a vested interest are free to bump the thread (as I might do) but only the original player can exclude people from taking over their empire.
4) If I deem a nation to be in a really bad shape I'll request that it be put on AI, rather than ask for a sub. The orginal owner is still free to find a real sub if he wishes.
5) Players still in the game may NOT sub for another nation.

My goal (and it can be hard) is just to find a warm body to take over the nation. I don't advertise or notify people before I put up the "sub needed" thread and I always go with first come first serve.

I would HOPE that the player taking over the nation will at least honor or give notice on NAPs. However, as the player could always lie, I won't bother trying to force this requirement.

I hope that this clears things up. I'm not always aware of the politics/disagreements that happened before/during the game... I just try to put a body with a nation... nothing more.

Looks like I'll be looking for a permanent sub for LA Atlantis. *le sigh*

I will post on both of my mp game threads and say the LA Atlantis spot is now open as well. I doubt a sub will be hard to find, he had a decent position.

Hmmm, whats going on? Seems like the western power block just took its ball and went home...

Oh well, I'd rather stomp on Bob anyway.

K did have a legitimate reason for leaving the game. real life is greater than a game-however fun. And he was a great adversary.

To be fair, Frank *did* just start driving ambulances again. I might need a sub myself if this drags into October, as I've got a fair amount of work to do.

This puts me in a bit of a lurch, as I may get a replacement for Frank who won't pay me back the several hundred gems he still owes me .

Velusion:

I think with all the changes, perhaps we could take an extra 24 hours? personally I am fine. In fact my turn is already in.

But the face of the Western continent just changed significantly, and this seems to be an appropriate time for a small pause.

Just my 2 cents.

There have not been any pauses in the past when large nations stale, nor will there be one now.

Which sucks for me because LA Atlantis was helping me against LA R'lyeh. But that's how the cookie crumbles.

The game will advance, inexorably, towards it's bitter end. Mistakes, exceptions and delays be damned!
