... but he is in a war right now (against me) not to say anything against him but i'd be a bit iffy about him being a neutral party in that respect

Understandable concern, but most WiR GMs in the past, including the creator, Frymon, have played and GMd, there really is no issue. Dutch played as Russia back in 1900, and Pirate was Germany, and he GMd WWII, you can go ask Pirate right now whether there were any issues. Just because the GM is taking part, it does not affect the rolls or update. Plus, there can a be co-GM who takes care of things if the GM happens to be in a war and there's concern about neutrality.

In any case, Mag is a nomination, a suggestion, I'm putting him up for consideration, and when we have a few more nominations, we can all vote and pick our interim GM, and if necessary, a co-GM
