Anybody seen odd_enuf? And when to AI player...

[Thufir]

It looks like odd_enuf has gone stale for two turns in Pandemonium2 - has anyone seen him playing in any other games? odd_enuf, are you out there? He's not given us any notice of his departure, so I'm a little sure of how much rope to give here.

Is there a convention for how many turns a player should be allowed to stale before being forcibly converted to AI? We're on mosehansen (if that makes a difference), and if I do convert him to AI, can we convert him back if he shows up later? If that's the case than 2 turns stale before converting to AI seems eminently reasonable to me. I guess maybe I'd go with 3 if there's no turning back.

Also, is there any way to sub in a new player position for that, without giving away the master password? If so, and anyone's interested, let me know. odd_enuf seems to be in a good position - on turn 15, he's in 2d place by province count, and AFAIK, he's not entangled in any of the early conflicts that have swept across this particular game.

Here's the game thread:

I haven't been paying close attention, but on Belle Air he's either been staling or taking a lot longer than usual to get his Last couple turns in.

I would say staling two turns in a row w/out any explanation is grounds to turn someone over to AI. Staling 3 turns in a row and there shouldn't even be any second thoughts.

and, no, once set to AI it is impossible to change back after the turn hosts.

i'd say if he's about to do a third stale, whomever owns the game should go in a bit before hosting and set him to AI.

for Belle_air that's me, so pls inform me if he's about to do a third stale.

thanks

In Low magic game, he has significantly slowed down his pace of play. We were doing 2 turns per day for quite a while, but no longer. I thought it had to do with the fact that, according to my scouts, two players are killing him in a 2 on 1 and I am pretty sure he will not survive.

I have not been watching very closely, but he sure may have staled some turns.

[Yossar]

I'm really not sure if/how many turns he's been staling. There's no way to check is there? I just attacked him and he doesn't have a whole lot of troops and hasn't been terribly proactive in moving them around in the war anyway, so it's hard to tell if he took his turn or not.

So, I'd like to find some disinterested party to convert odd_enuf's position in our Pandemonium2 game over to AI. Preferably, I'd like to see this done this afternoon or evening, PDT (GMT - 7). Let me know in this thread, or in a PM and I can PM you the game's master pword.

Bump!

I'd really like to find someone to convert odd_enuf to AI for us tonight, if at all possible. Shouldn't take but a minute, and I'll be happy to return the favor.

I can do this as I have no interests in this game.

It is done. Vanheim is now AI controlled.
