Two things on going AI:

1) It's generally discouraged because the AI plays so badly. Even a half-hearted effort by a player is usually superior.

2) Finding a sub for a losing position can be difficult. So in the interest of keeping the game moving along going AI could be better -- but it's always best to check with the admin first. Don't go AI if he thinks he can find someone.

He isn't losing that badly, in terms of forces yes but he hasn't lost ground from his starting position. Ulm and I was in the tentative talks of an alliance against Van , it doesn't matter now.

Still Parone if you are going please PM me the password (if you have one) so I can find a sub.

man with no name-

all good, valid points.

this was a situation, however, where the player had asked for a 24 hour delay and did not receive it.

that said, any admin(or player) would do well to read your take on things.

It's unfortunate to see parone go, but if you have chosen to do so, then there's little to do.

also, at this point, i would not want to sub into my position. three stales and me repaying some debts have gutted what was Ulm. you'd be better off going ai.

however, it's up to you.

Also they will be plunged headfirst into a war; I cannot afford to give any grace period, as I am second to last in the graphs and fall behind in terms of resources every turn, thus must press on.
