yeah, happy to go AI myself.

I've only recently subbed into this one (as Marignon), so I won't be voting either way on any continue/abort decision. Although to me Caelum turning AI certainly seems to be real negative turn of events

If the game does continue, then because Marignon has no grudges against anyone, the only logical course of action is to become a proper Dominions whore, and hire my war services out to the highest bidder. I never have been one to just sit on the sidelines

This turn Marignon lost their Pretender.........for a few seconds, then I found him again. That's just about as interesting as things get in the lands of Marigonon

Well, I think that more players should speak about it. That is LA Mictlan, Midgard and Arco. I am fine with whatever is voted through, draw too [I'd prefer to continue it, but Caelum turning AI sucks].

I really don't like turning people AI. But he did not ask for a sub, he did not even pick a fight. It's not funny at all. If I knew that he is really going to do it, I'd delay a game and look for a sub [we could try looking for one and rolling back, but I'm not sure if it's the best idea].

Anyway, ask that 3 players to comment here and we will do according to that.

yah i have no doubt that his actions are difficult to countenance, but the game is pretty screwed, and I certainly have little pleasure in doing my turns. Even though killing elemental royalty is always fun.

actually, i have a pet king of elemental earth now... gotta get him GoR'ed

otoh, if me and la pyth were to go AI, it might create an entertaining gold rush for all of the rest of you

- at least somewhat balance out just having caelum doing it.

since we are disclosing big name kills, a couple air queens got nixed a turn ago, along with a cyclops. the queens might still be around.

on an unrelated note, I am quite underwhelmed by Foul Vapors. My enemies fight through it like it were nothing more than minor hydra flatulence.

I don't think that I could have been more clear. I was not going to submit any more turns. I waited out the timer, and there was no mention of finding a sub, so as stated, I set AI.

My apologies if anyone was too distracted by the proceeding posts to make note of this statement.

I guess I was under the impression that being an experienced MP player, you'd look for a sub yourself. That is usually considered good etiquette though I know all too well that many players bail and leave it to the host to find a sub.

Then again, I don't care that much since I am ready to throw in the towel myself this game. I wouldn't quit though w/o trying to find a sub though as it reflects poorly. Personally, I remember how players act in MP games and would not want to host a game with those that abandon games w/o looking for subs themselves.

Just my dos centavos.

I vote for continue, at least until my Tartarian army sees some action

It's not even a subbable position, that's the problem. What would I post? "Much of your forces are occupied in MA C'tis lands, and are completely diseased, the front runner has just broken NAP and is using Horrors and teleported thugs to trash your interior, this position is a great chance to waste your time!".

I am sure that if I honestly represented the position, I'd get tons of response.

And your comments of reliability make sense in general, but as with all things, you have to look for patterns, not outstanding occurrences. I am under a lot of stress right now, and wasting more time and effort on a game that went entirely in the map creator's favor very early on, and is all but over. I've seen people go AI with more capacity to impact the outcome of the game, and no one *****ed at them. <3
