Ask to end the game?! No way.
To the last bullet!
I would just ask NobleHelium to inform us ahead of time, if he ever gets sick of playing. So we don't end up with 2 minutes on the clock and realizing our turn player has left.
There are still enough scraps of this "team" around to at least pick up the save and play on.

I kinda think it might be useful to post some sort of formal message on the state of the team over at CFC in case everyone here goes AFK. :|

Don't worry, just blame me. I am the Herbert Hoover of RB.

So you've saved millions of children from starving to death after the bloodiest war up to that point in history only to watch most of them grow up to be Nazis and die horribly for a mass murderer?
I'm just speaking for myself really, I don't think there's any more fun to be had for me and we should people prepare in case our team evaporates.

The Spanish have fought to the end.
The Germans have fought to the last unit.
Things look sour for the leading and once biggest team and are becoming "unfun".
Lets all leave and spoil the game for the rest.

I am prepared to play on.

I'm not saying we shouldn't keep playing, I'm just not sure what reasonably we can do gamewise to defend. Losing those units last turn was a really big mistake.

Charge of the Realms Brigade
By Cyneheard the Atheling
Half a turn, half a turn
Half a turn onward
All in the valley of Ditch
Marched the twenty musket
"Forward, the Realms Brigade!"
"Charge for the cuirs!" he said:
Into the valley of Ditch
Marched the twenty* musket**
"Forward, the Realms Brigade!"
Was there a lurker dismay'd?
Not tho' the draftee knew
Someone had dogpil'd
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die
Into the valley of Ditch
Marched the twenty musket
Cannon to right of them,
Cuirs to left of them,
Rifles in front of them
Stack'd and spy-sab'd;
Storm'd at with shot and saber;
Boldly they 'pult'd and well,
Into the jaws of Ditch
Into the Gauntlet and Brick
Marched the twenty musket
Flash'd all their siegers bare
Flash'd as they saw despair
'Pulting the cuir'ers there,
Charging an army while
All the CivFr wonder'd:
Plunged in the rocky smoke
Right thro' the line they broke;
Cuir and Rifle
Reel'd from the suicide stroke
Damag'd then heal'd
Then they counterattacked, but not
Not the twenty musket
Cannon to right of them,
Cuirs to left of them,
Rifles behind them
Stack'd and pillag'd;
Storm'd at with shot and rock
While musket and catapult fell,
They that had REX'd so well
Came thro' the jaws of Ditch
Back from the Gauntlet and Brick
All that was left of them,
Left of twenty musket
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the CivFr wondered.
Honor the charge they made,
Honor the Realms Brigade,
Noble twenty musket
*Twenty +/- 3.5. Catapults don't march.
**Some muskets traded their guns for spiked chains or horses.

That is just fantastic. Can we just put that entire thing up for QOTM?
Between this, ASM's WPC Hitler post, and LP's Sullla remix, the competition for who wins this thread is extremely tough.

That wins the text award, you would have to do a dramatic reading for the multi-media award..

Nah. Too cheap to buy a microphone.
