Well he did say on the 4th that the game was basicallly over. He hasn't posted much in the rest of the Team forum either.

Also, not sure about Irgy, but I'm personally fine if Dave wants to take control of one or more of the other civs on his continent (or perhaps just switch a few cities to his own civ). He's obviously in the underdog position here, so if it'd make the game more fun for him then I'm all for that.
