Eight hours left (or at least it looks like that from here), and more nations haven't sent in turns than have, not to mention ScriptWolf said he was ill. a1s, our other admin, apparently hasn't been seen since the 27th. Well, I guess a lot of stales are coming. :(

Twelve hours until the next turn, and three (soon to be four when I finally send mine in) players have sent files. Both of our illustrious admins are still missing. I guess a1s isn't too surprising, since his nation is Ulm, which is currently in a (very much losing) war against Eriu. With Scriptwolf in the hospital, we have two admins missing and no one left to postpone the turns for our admins, and everyone else who hasn't sent in turns. :(

At any rate, I suggest to a1s and Scriptwolf that we get a third player, someone who's doing well (and thus invested in making sure the game go smoothly), both in the game and physically I guess. I, of course nominate myself. I promise I won't abuse my awesome powers if I get them! ;)

Yes, having an active admin would probably help avoid a lot of the missed turns. I imagine it's a symptom of the holidays as well. We should probably also ask if any players need to be replaced? Though I suppose that's moot if we don't have an admin.

If you feel like the game is over for you, consider setting your nation to AI before you leave.

I asked Llamabeast (the guy who runs the Llamaserver) to postpone the game a bit, considering we currently don't appear to have any admins, and he kindly did. He also provided me with the admin password (though currently I won't use it, since I feel I'd be stepping on Scriptwolf and a1s's toes a bit if I did). Hopefully Scriptwolf will get well soon!

Also, I wouldn't really suggest setting yourself to AI if you're not at war. The AI declares war basically arbitrarily, and while it will probably not attack someone at random if it's about to die, if you're at peace there's a good chance the AI will just pick a neighbor at random to go to war with. Not to mention the AI is worse than even the worst of human players at this game, and we're just now getting to the point where battle magic to deal with the AI's chaff hordes is readily accessible. Setting yourself to AI basically means free provinces for the people around you.

Of course, finding a sub for a player even in the best situation is hard, too. Personally, when I think I can't win I just try to do as much as I can to wreck whoever wrecked me. It's very satisfying to know the guy who took your capital wishes they hadn't! :D if your last fort isn't about to fall, chances are you can turn your game around and, if not win, at least put in a strong showing. I know some of you guys are new to MP dominions, so I'd be willing to give you some advice if you think you need it, though you might want to try another source, like the IRC channel or Dom3 wiki, considering I'm one of your rivals for godhood.

Thanks for doing that Darkwind. Hopefully we'll get a few stragglers submitting turns this weekend. Maybe you could use the password to send out a reminder message?

The game is basically over for Shadowgandor(Abysia), since the war with Ermor is going pretty poorly, so I understand that'd he'd want out. I'm not too sure what R'lyeh's problem is, except I think he didn't start in the larger ocean, which I guess has made things kind of difficult. Also, holy crap, there are still 75 independent provinces left! Definitely hope for all you smaller nations out there.

Well, the problem is that i miss most of the turns either through being utterly forgetful or due to not being in the mood, turning the game into a chore. Besides i feel i either should play this game with full commitment or leave it be. Anyhow, uh how can i turn myself into AI?

Thanks Darkwind for reaching out and getting the Admin PW. I have no qualms with you taking over as Admin, as you seem to be doing fairly well and will most likely be one of the last powers standing. :)

I believe you can do it under options when you're running your turn, set nation to AI or somesuch. If you sent that in, I think it would switch it automatically. There might be an admin option as well.

Probably just MA R'lyeh at this point (maybe Marignon too? I don't know how long Scriptwolf will be in the hospital). I don't really know any details about the situation of either nation, except that they don't have very many provinces and have missed quite a few turns (and so are behind in commander recruitment and such).

Well Script is posting in other games talking about how much fun he is having playing Warframe, so if he's not back to his admin duties soon...

They both have low income/research(Though they may have quite a bit saved up from the recent missed turns?). Marignon has 12 provinces while R'lyeh has 8, 4 of which have forts.
