I would keep playing till turn 30 at least and at that moment we can ask ourselves whether we want continue or not?
Can you kindly post save here for me at least?

[TheArchduke]

Here is the turn. Not interested in continuing from now on.

Can simulate like I am playing at least and take 1-2 more cities.

Sorry if I sound bitter, but nothing went right for me and I played this game all wrong. And DoF blocking. Ugh.

[Grotsnot]

Ah, sorry, our water Builders are not intentionally blocking They're just slow as molasses and the only alternative to plodding along, with a little scouting, is to return them to the AI.

[Alhambram]

Turn for Grotsnot, I wonder what he do think about this game?

[Grotsnot]

We're still in to keep playing. Not feeling down and out yet. If TheArchduke really doesn't want to we don't have to, though. Maybe would Chevalier or another sub be up to running Denmark?

Here's T30 anyway

[Alhambram]

Ok, I respect your decision TheArchduke, also the choice of Grotsnot to continue.

So, Chevalier plays in place of TheArchduke or do we need post request for player replacement in general RB forum? I don't mind spoiled lurker in this case since it is still 30 turns left and many thngs are pretty exposed for everyone if everyone pays attention at diplomacy pages.

[Grotsnot]

Yeah, I also would not mind a spoiled player given the nature of the scenario. But if it's too much of a pain in the ass to find someone sufficiently invested, we can also just call it.

From discussing the situation with Banzailizard, I believe the conclusion was that a lame duck Denmark was not worth continuing with. Sweden's situation has non-zero odds of pulling something off in a 3 horse race but would not be able to catch Norway's lead if the Danes all-but-resign.

[Banzailizard]

So should we post in general chat? Maybe someone could message CMF?

[TheArchduke]

Before you need to search around, if you prefer to continue, I can move my trainwreck to an end. Do not expect updates however.

[Grotsnot]

I mean, I get that it can suck to keep playing with no visible path to victory, but I'm going to reiterate that we should just call it if Denmark is in such a bad state that Norway is going to conquer all of France and Spain. It was potentially possible for Denmark and/or Sweden to make up the massive Vinland deficit via conquest but if Norway is going to end up leading on that too, then there's no sense dragging you through the motions.
