#33 Points system when taking over losing positions
The point system does not encourage ttaking over abandoned losing positions Sure when the points when you reach zero you restart at 100... but. E.g in game Exile France left the game at 2 SC and the game being close to the end (T has 14 SC). Despite that the player taking over F needs to bet 4 -- a sure loss unless the game immediately ends. It may be better to let players take over at no cost and instead award gains in those situations. In a winner takes all it should definitively be free. Yes there are problems with DIAS but that could be regulated by how many years the new players survives (unless he gains)

My suggestion
I suggest that joining abandoned positions should be encouraged by never letting the joining player lose points. E.g. any of these solutions could be implemented:
1) No cost to join (zero points). The "joinee" "Takes over" the "abandonee's" remaining points.
2) A cost to join, but it will only be detracted if you win more than it cost to join. E.g. cost to join 5 points. Player manages to survive and share 6 points in the win, but he will only be awarded 6-5=1 points as the deferred cost-to-join was 5.
Personally I would prefer a solution as outlined in 2) as being more fair.
