I don't think an autohost will work well with how many people have left the game, unless they are set to AI.

Maybe moving to 48 hour host would be a better solution and let people have enough time to fit in their turns.

And we should probably figure out the nations that need to be set to AI.

You can tell from timestamps - anyone with a timestamp older than the *previous* host, staled.

My vote would be to set anyone who staled this turn to computer control.

Unless I hear otherwise i will be setting ermor, ulm ctis and caelum to AI.

They all seem to have heavily staled.

Whoops. I kept trying to connect, to no avail. I don't know why I didn't check the forums. Ah well, you can AI me.

I'm sure you could get back into it if you want to, Uninspired. Staling a few turns is a setback, but it might well be recoverable.

If everyone is open to idea I could control Ermor, Ulm, Ctis and Caelum as moneky puppets of Kailisa. I promose they would act in our best interest exclusively.

I don't really understand why we've set the autohost to 48 hours. Everyone's being fairly quick about their turns except the people who've stopped playing aren't they? Seems like setting it to 48 hours will just slow it down loads.
