He has it and that was two days ago. Hopefully he should be about to sent out his turn to me soon.

The turn was sent to Moverred a week ago ... has there been any communication other than to say he has the turn ?

Got another email from him today, after me chasing up:
I have replied and kindly reminded him to keep us inform about his availability next time.

Has the turn moved yet ?

Heard nothing from him yet.
I guest we should probably discuss whether we should find a replacement. Moverred didn't keep his promise 3 times in a role already. He never informed us about his availability except after me chasing up.
What do you guys think?

It certainly looks bad for his future reliability.
Replacing him at this stage may impact those people who have already played their first turn.

Not entirely sure how you can expect to have fun playing a game when you haven't even played the first turn ...
At least, kudos for not dragging things out even further.
What do we do now ? I believe this will now definately impact upon those of us who have already played.

We're not feeling it either, Moverred, since you haven't bothered playing your turn and just kept giving us a load a bull excuses.
Not as fun? Each to their own, but you haven't even taken your turn. Sounds pretty pathetic really. Anyway, that's rant over.
Guys, can we change the recipient of this turn (it's just a manual email, right?) or do we need to start again?
If we can change the recipient then I suggest we carry on with a new player even if this impacts on deals. The new player can choose to honour them or not, but not doing would likely come with it's own consequences.
I agree. If the new player changes his mind... . .. .. .. . happens. Leaders can fall and new leaders rise with another foreign politics. Thats life and simply reality. 
. Just want continue to play. To find another player takes time, and we will have to give him another time to get into the game ( check out the map) and to do his own diplo.... So we should start right now to avoid the break to expand further...

I agree, we should try to continue. There was someone who applied earlier, right?

I've just send a private message to Mordredis, the Brazilian guy who said he is interested to join the game previously.

We can change the player. No problem at all.
I feel pretty sad about the sudden drop out of a player too. But let's not getting too frustrated. Think of it the other way around - we have 8 committed players, isn't that wonderful?

It is. It is precisely that everyone else is committed that it's annoying, but i know what you're saying, let's not let this become a big issue

I still haven't receive feedback from the Brazilian guy. Can we do some advertisement, and do so in the other forums, such as the German one?

Guys,
I know that the majority of us are willing to continue the current game, especially those who have taken their turn already. I certainly would respect that and at this moment, I am still trying my best to find the replacement so that we can continue the game.
But I would like to once again voice out my opinion of just giving up the current game and restart with only the 8 of us. The reason is that, we might eventually able to get a replacement player, but with the current setting, a turn would take at least 2 weeks (assuming the game has played a few turns already) and I can foresee another player might drop out in the future due to the long wait.
I suggest to restart with a simple game setting: 8 single players with no rules and no modification to the scenario. The 8 players that we should choose from are:
Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, China, France, Britain and America (The largest 8 nations in the game).
I think this setting can get a game played one week/turn after the game is stable. We can also set the difficulty to Emperor level so that the AI can be more stronger.
What do you think?

As much as I don't really want to start the whole start of game diplo thing for the third time I feel this might be the best way forward.
