@plako - No serious objection to your plan, but I reiterate that the game is, IMHO, untenable if 25%, or even 10%, of players are actively playing in violation of the rules. We may reach a point where we have to pause and replace people before playing on.
PS - We've not done the finest job over the last few days making sure the IT and Public Diplo threads are used properly

RB is indeed showing its quality of discourse here. Most other internet communities would see the game blowing up under piles of explosively profane posts and a heavy moderator hand. Even if we've collectively realized that the game setup wasn't a great idea, we're still having eminently civil and productive conversations about it. Not everything about RB is perfect, but this really isn't going badly from where I sit. 
(And I still think that an AI handover is fully reasonable in a lost cause like this. It will put up a decent level of resistance, defending its cities fairly and whipping more units. We humans invented computers exactly to do drudgerous tasks like this for us. But I digress.)

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. If we're voting for ending the game and it seems evident that resolution goes through, then looking for subs doesn't make much sense. Are you saying that some of the players do not have voting rights anymore and we should count 3/4 somehow differently? Please note also that your name is currently on wants ending list. Have I interpreted you wrongly?

No, sorry plako, I think I was very unclear.
I'm only saying you set a 75% threshold. That seems reasonable. However should we not meet that threshold and therefore continue the game I'm suggesting we can't do it with people openly breaking the rules. Basically "if we vote to end, fine, but if we vote to play on we have to fix the rule breaking."

I guess we could go on for a few more turns so you can get a chance to have some fun with your army. Would be a shame otherwise. 
We could set an end date of, say, T175 or something?

Yeah, I'm gonna miss my wandering Speaker.
His original goal was to meet every civ, but with Rome being kicked off the continent and/or eliminated before I reach that far, it wasn't going to happen.

That puts the list at:
plako, Meiz, Xenu/Commodore, Azza, Nakor/Tatan, Pindicator, Ichabod, sunrise, Lord Parkin, Sleeping Moogle, Slowcheetah
OK, so we're at 11, and as I said I'm not going to hold the decision. So I say let's end it when HitAnyKey's army ends its quest
