I underestimated just how much time it was going to take to barely manage an empire of this size - i think it's taken me half an hour just to cycle through cities and figure out builds/tile assignments on these 2 turns. And my schedule doesn't allow for more time than that.
Honestly, I think you need to call this. It's been a fun run and we all wanted to see it come to some thrilling conclusion, but pretty soon we're going to be propping up the corpse in a rocking chair in a corner of the room with its best sunday dress on, trying to convince ourselves it's still a person. Nobody else has volunteered to take scooter's civ over, and the only other power in the game is only thinking about how someone competent and with a lot of time to dedicate may ruin his chances. So just call him the winner and get out the shovels so we can lay this body to peace, please?
Or maybe you do that, retire the top two civs to AI and let the fun teams play their stuff out. I don't know where to go with my metaphor for that option.
Sorry Scooter, you were right. This thing is a beast. I'll happily help you end turns promptly so you don't have to be chained to it; I owe you that much.

...Come, my friends,
'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down;
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
...in Pit Boss Twenty-two!
If only you and me and dead people know hex, then only deaf people know hex.
