that is the same problem as me. i would need a backup player if I were to take over for DMOC, due to an extremely unreliable disk drive,

Sounds fair. How about setting Dux to AI while he's away too, if we can't find an appropriate sub?
Cool. That's the first person you've met, right? So now there's nobody left in this game that's all isolated?
Well, not really lose a turn, it's just the AI will play it for you. Usually preferable to not playing it at all...
Indeed. I've had experiences with that too, and it can be a pain. It's nice to just send a quick PM stating any trade deals, alliance negotiations (etc) in progress, and a rough game plan (eg, expansion in direction X followed by direction Y, war with nation Z). The person taking over for you may not stick to your plans, but at least they'll know the background to the game.

No, he asked me to sub for him. If no appropiate human sub can show up in the next hour (before I go to bed) I'm taking over, wouldn't be fair to stick him with an AI against his will. Elucidus didn't speak up so whoever.

Okay, fair enough. Go ahead then.

Yay, now all we need is for dmoc to make his move or pass the torch within the next twelve hours. 
Otherwise I think there's some sort of "three strikes you're out!!!" concept out there that he gets replaced with an AI until billy can take over himself.

Alright - does billybones know your password or will Elucidus need to revert your civ to AI to let him log in?

Well now billybones just has to be able to log in once every twelve hours to keep the game going at a decent rate. 
Though to be honest at this point I wouldn't mind just making that civ an AI permanently just so this crap can get moving again.

Yeah, it really has slowed to a crawl atm, more than 1 turn per 24 hours would be nice

impossible for me. if i could get a second player as a sub tho, it might work.

I'm covering for Dux, not DMOC. Dux is out of town for a week... I don't have DMOC's password.
Convert to AI until we have a reliable player.
Billybob, once every 12 hours isn't nessecary, but once every 24 hours is sort of required. (you'll double up turns by being last in line) We don't have a second person to join you so you have to decide whether you can handle 24 hour turns or not.
Regardless an AI should take over soon as DMOC's empire is skipping another turn. Maybe Elkad and Toch should just invade and wipe him out.

yeah, now that i realize it, I probably won't be able to fill in for DMOC.

Just so Luc is clear: convert DMOC to AI (and only DMOC).
