Replacement Diplomacy player needed

I am GMing a SDMB Diplomacy game. We’re just starting 1906, and Turkey has asked to drop out for school reasons. I’d like to find a SDMB replacement before throwing it open to Cat-23 members. Turkey’s position is not great, he’s kind of stuck in his corner with 4 SCs, but with Russia expanding so rapidly, Turkey should be able to strike an alliance fairly easily. Is anyone interested in taking on the challenge? The webpage for the game is here.

Wow, that kind of sucks. Hope we can find someone soon. Does it affect this turn?

Yes, no orders from Turkey, plus a bunch of others are late too.

Turkey allied with Russia. Now, that’s a farce. They’ve been at each other all game. … No wait, I’m thinking of some other game.

Why not just give Turkey to Russia? Russia’s been writing all the orders anyway.

No, I’m not bitter.
