Right. Here are our options
Good ones:
* Adrien finds a solution to the problem. Adrien - are you willing to keep looking? Won't blame you for giving up, this has to be frustrating...
* Someone takes over Rome. I don't know if there are unspoiled players who have interest in Civ5, but one can hope
* Chumchu adjusts the map for 5 players. Chumchu - can this be done with minor changes or would it be a complete rework?
Worse ones:
* We scrap the GMR route and play this using Civ5's built-in PBEM support. This would mean playing on a random map
* We replace Adrien with AI (or just remove Rome from the game and play without changes to the map). This is likely to be severely unbalanced
* We accept a spoiled sub for Adrien. Not ideal, considering we all posted what presumably are our early game plans in our threads, but could be acceptable
* We cancel the game. While cancelling Civ5 send-off PBEM due to the game's technical problems would be a fitting end, I don't want to go there yet
Thoughts?
