Well time for me to step in I think.
I have contacted a number of players concerning this. Sometimes I am aware
if players are looking for a game (but not on the standby list) and
sometimes I just ask.
At present my list stands at 5 players, but I do not have Gavin's name on
that list.
It is very hard to get players to take over a position in a game that they
are not playing in. I asked a fairly large number of players to step in -
but no luck. (Over a month of trying so far). With that in mind I opened
it up to the public forum - not that there are a massive number of players
subscribed (out of 160 players who have email turns less than 1/5th - there
are more players that have access to email btw).
If the position is on a team then I generally try the other team members
first to see if they know anyone - much the better option I think. With
Neutrals it is harder.
If anyone wants to join the standby list please contact me.
Thanks
Clint

Subject: [mepbmlist] Filling dropped positions
From: Gavin Wynford-Jones <GavinWJ@compuserve.com>
Colin, Clint has a list of players willing to take over dropped positions,
as did his predecessors. Guess what, although I'm on the list and have been
for years, I've never been contacted when a dropped position was
available... I think there may be a connection here...Tout for replacements: OK, yes, perfect.
Tout for a specific replacement in a public forum: nah, nada, NO. <g>
