Just to address Crowe's (and probably Eagle's as well) concerns about possible time-outs:
- the host is usually open to accomodate a time-out or two if the reason behind it is reason enough. Business trips, if short, qualify, other unexpected RL occurences qualify as well (provided you drop a note to the host early enough that the gen doesn't get you before the host throws the hold switch). I've been in a game where one player requested a stop due to death of his family member - no one even thought of vetoing his request. RL always comes before games.
EDIT: I see Sprocket said as much as I typed.
- when alliances are forged somewhere along the game, it is not unusual to let one ally play a turn or two for another one. I've been there in a few games: my allies stood in for me for a turn or two - and it worked out OK. Of course, you need to trust those who you ask for this kind of favour, and be ready to return it should they need it the other day.
- if you foresee a longer absence from play and you know it well beforehand, it should be possible to find another player willing to stand in for you... or even replace you completely if you don't plan to be back.
Usually, all we need is timely information about any situation that might stop the game, and the host will be able to handle it.

A game forum will appear usually together with the game being set up in the Minefield - Ron sets it all up. Players are requested not to bug him personally to do this - it's the host's responsibility to arrange the setup with Ron. We wouldn't want our venerable Admiral sink under the wave of PMs and e-mails from anxious players.
