I'd say we can give him/her another couple of turns and if no trns are received from the "Missing Emperor", we knock him out. Otherwise, the game's gonna be very sloooooowwwwwww....

I believe you're auto-kicked after 4 missed turns. The game's already going to be slow with the notoriously-late Privateer (he's almost always the last to submit a turn in every game, and frequently misses turns).
