Well I suspect Labor Day weekend is going to be rough to get anyone to pick this up from the USA.
I am not surprised you are having problems getting the next player. Open games always sound good, but people rarely pick them up.

Got it. Sorry about the 'slow' playtime, scout.
Now you can go back to whining for another player.
Pre-Flight: no changes
IT - France and Sweden ally against Russia. Denmark and France ally against Russia. Russians ask us for peace, will give Sanitation, no cities. Sibiu riots.
January 1813 - Take Smolensk
IT - Sweden and France ally against Portugal. France plinks Stettin. Naples and Prussia sign embargo against us.
March 1813 - Take Minsk
IT - Dye deal with Spain ends. Trade Spain iron, horses, 17gpt for Sanitation. Naval Battle of Copenhagen. Gus has delusions and his navy sets forth to the south. Royal Navy pummels him. Swedish Navy destroyed.
May 1513 - Take Polatsk, Sevastapol. Rush army at Belgrade. Sanitation to Denmark for 136g, WM. Sanitation to Sweden for 81g, 5gpt, WM. Sanitation to Portugal (willing to buy it for 37g, 9gpt, 2 workers) for 37g and 2 workers. Don't want the Brits declaring on us when whats his name breaks a gpt deal.
IT French fail again at Stettin. Portugal and Russia sing embrago against us. Here comes the Moscow counter attack. Sibiu roits again.
July 1813 - Summer camp. Tell me why I can't build hospitals now that I have sanitation?
IT - Barbs steal virgins from fields in SW, lose 2 slaves
September 1813 - hit end turn by mistake. No disasters result.
November 1813 - Take Starya Russa, build silk colony.
VC: 37% of area, 34% population. VP 48450. France has 29175.
'Splain please how to tell when a resistor is going to stop resisting and turn unhappy. Lots of riots in Russia. Cities need MM. I mostly let them alone to avoid screwing anything up.

Addendum to previous post: the Tsarina must be in Stettin. Resistance is fanatical. At least 3 muskets there. We have 3 GB, a Janissary Army, couple of Elite janissaries, couple of siph. A siph army is also nearby. French keep knockin' on Stettin's door too. Fresh troops approaching Moscow from the south. Next player should able to get togethor a pretty good SOD around Moscow. May want to switch the two armies at Starya. Finally we've punished the barbs that stole the virgins by sacking their camp.

Scout doesn't need to whine for this player, at least. I got it.

Because our economy is mobilized. And it'll stay that way unless we sign peace with somebody. (Not recommended at this stage...)Admiral Kutzov said:

Nov 1813(0)-Fire some clowns, stop starving cities, hire some taxmen and police
IBT-Britain, Russia sign trade embargo against us
Jan 1814(1)-Stettin: all GBs are successful, Sipahi army kills 3 muskets, elite janissary kills musket, elite janissary kills musket, produces MGL, captures city
MGL makes an army
Pskov: 6 of 8 GBs are successful, 2 janissaries and 1 sipahi kills 2 muskets and jaeger to capture city
Tons of units go outside Novgorod
IBT-Russian guard makes Sipahi retreat and destorys silks colony; I couldn't get units there in time
Half of the cities riot
Mar(2)-Novgorod: all defenders are bombarded to 1 hitpoint and I still have GBs left
Janissary army kills one, 2 sipahis kill one, a sipahi death causes a promotion, so I bombard again, janissary army wins to capture the city
Bump lux up to 50%, more clowns still are needed
IBT-Spain, Britain sign MA against Sweden
I didn't realize guards were so willing to attack Sipahi; two injured guards kill two sipahi to capture Staraya Russia
May(3)-sipahi army kills two defenders, sipahi kills to recapture Staraya Russia, worker, GBs
I will no longer defend cities with sipahi
Load three sipahi into empty army
Janissary and sipahi army and a lot of GBs head next to St. Petersburg
IBT-Prussia wants MA against Denmark, no thanks
Prussia, Sweden sign peace
Sweden wants to trade TMs, no thanks
Jul(4)-colony built on silks (three sipahi are there to defend it now)
lux lowered to 30%, readjust specialists
St. Petersburg: After GB bombardment, there still is a 3hp unit
More units are next to St. Petersburg
janissary army kills one defender in St. Petersburg
IBT-Russia, Sweden sign peace
Istanbul finishes General Staff School
Sep(5)-St. Petersburg: all defenders are bombarded to 1hp, and I still have GBs left
Sipahi army kills 3 defenders, janissary kills 2 defenders, sipahi army kills 2 defenders, captures city
39% area, Mapstat says 40%, we are actually 1 tile from 40%
Since growth in cities with hospitals and aqueducts would be greater than growth from capturing more Russian cities, I sign peace with Russia for Oslo, 81g, 30gpt (they would not give up two cities)
set lux to 0%
we are at 37% population, we need about 34 more population
rush some hospitals and aqueducts
disband some units to hurry builds and increase gpt
Nov(6)-rush some more
Get 743g from France for 48gpt for rushes
Rather than have the next player end the turn, join some workers, and end the turn again, I decided to finish the game.
Jan 1815(7)-join a bunch of workers into cities

Here is the save just before victory. The comments by the losing civilizations are interesting, as is the replay.
