You have a quality argument.

The simplified manner in which the game is kept together (A single resource [b]Influence[/b] governing your ability to make moves on the intragalactic stage means that even if I were to disappear, all that would require is someone else to maintain the ledger and perhaps portray the ideologies of minor civilizations in the Conclave.

I purely intend to be a moderator, represent the claims and problems of the minor civilizations and incite events to give flavor to the world. IE: "Famine on Planet X" or what have you. I assure you, I'm here to play.
