I am not sure although I suspect he took the time to mail all of us that this game was somewhat overwhelming (and I don't blame him).
Well...what do we want to do? Squirrel, you have hung in there as long as I can expect you too and if you want to set AI if we continue I think you have fullfilled your obligation (although I think you all of all players could somehow still pull it out with the right alliances).
I personally would like to continue as I am learning a LOT in this game and even if we had to set Kalisia to AI, I would still like to finish the game. I will start looking for a sub, but I need to know all of your feelings on this before we saddle someone else with Kalisia.

sorry guys, but it seems that this game is a bit too much for me... I feel bad when I gotta keep asking you guys for extensions, slowing the game down for the rest of you, and even than I hurry up my turns, not giving them enough time considering the size of my empire and the stage of the game, I feel that I'm starting to lose it just because I'm not investing enough time in it. and now that the 2nd semester in the university is almost over, the exams are waiting just ahead and I have some catching up to do in there as well...
well, I tried to help you guys out with a sub, but I'm afraid you're going to need to look for 1 again, sorry
oh and I did send in my turn now, not perfect but enough to let you guys continue the next turn and look for another sub in the meantime... have fun in your game while it lasts, and it's not as over as you made me believe Grudge, Kailasa's position is not as strong as the graphs show and both you(Arco), Abysia and perhaps another nation, maybe even Ermor, still have a chance too...
