Considering we literally have half the game inactive at this time, should we just call a hiatus until everyone has time to play again?

I certainly wouldn't mind, given that Cynic, SJoyce, Cranberry and Clarence have lacked the time to play. I wonder how much time would they need?

This might be a problem for me, as later this month my activity level is going to decline for about a week or two.

I was going to propose this. It's a slow season, so the game should be put on a little hold.

Well, on Friday/Saturday I have to begin a trip that might take from one to two weeks, and while I will internet conection I certainly won't have the time for both of the games I'm hosting. Would two to three weeks be too much? (I fear the interest will go away, even if the game have already slowed)

I'd much prefer to keep AGOT active over this one, so works for me

Alright, considering Kalwejt is gone and clarence seems to be dormant, what's the status of this game?

I sent a message to all players to discuss the situation, given that I don't wish to replace Kalwejt. So far all most of the replies agree that Balance of Power has apparently reached its end for now, and I personally wish to see Snowstalker's game as well. I will wait one or two days for further replies and/or proposals, and if there's nothing new then I will have to give a mega-update on the outcome of the war and how each country progressed during these five years (along with some info on the plots that we had over the entire game). I really liked hosting the game and I believe we all proved something of this scale can be successfully played in the future, but the next game will really need further regulation and other things I should have included from the beginning.

Took me some time, but the Epilogue is up and I guess this ends the game. We've been playing since Early April, so it does feel rather strange to end this, but I suppose some day this world might be played again (on a later date like 1911 or 1916 or something like that). I thank the players (all of them) once again for their efforts, their patience and the skill they showed at playing the game, and hopefully the next one ("The New Order") will be a fantastic success!
