FWIW from an interested but disinterested onlooker, and I mean this solely as constructive criticism: the lack of any response from you to Yaali's post left me under the impression you yourself had not yet seen it and might be asleep at the switch, as a bombshell post like "I can't play anymore" can hardly help but merit discussion.


...edti: That, and also that it seems to me  entirely reasonable for a player's questions such as "okay so who's germany now? are his current turn's orders going to get in? who's taking it over, because obviously I need to talk to them?" remaining unanswered leaves them feeling they can't safely even send their own orders yet. Of course that, too, should have been posted if it was the case. Just pointing out the concern I'd have in the same circumstance.
