The computer will not know the player is out of the game BUT the host GA would and could execute a turn and send them out to the players. I have not and do not plan to allow the computer to decide when to step in. I think this is best done by the GA because of the fact that all PBEM games that I have been in HAVE extremely different time scales. Some do a turn a week, some in a month, etc. I want the GA to arbitrate this. A predetermined timeout could be programmed BUT has not in this release.

Thank you

Marshall, would it not be possible to make this a game setting selection that could be agreed by the players and selected at the beginning of the game? Otherwise, the GA becomes a weakspot in the completion of the game. What happens if the GA's country gets knocked out of the game or his country is doing poorly? Do the other players have to throw him/her bones to keep them in the game or can the game go on without the PA?

Yes; we need the rules ASAP. Finally, I hope to make this a Christmas present to myself and play over the Christmas break. Please have it done by then, even if we have to sacrifice a few testers due to overwork (think the Pyramids).

Am I hearing the cries of mutany as we approach the one year mark of the original release date?

We must continue to be patient, if we want to have a great gaming experience with this game. I have faith that they will have this game completed in a timely manor, but only after they have tuned it properly.
