Hey Ivan!
Don't sell yourself short man! Although masterful play is not your signature trait for LP, you are the most entertaining I have seen (even without the "Ivan moments" which I really like too!). I've tried a few others, but they never managed to grab me like you have and, except for you, it's always felt like I'd rather play the game than watch it be played. That swearing spaniard dude you mentioned looked interesting, but I don't speak spanish :/
With that said, I would suggest you keep things going as they are rigth now. No offense to Dioxine, but after such a bold (and awesome) move, it's not unlikely that there might be some issues to iron out. And a lot did change intentionally. That's not something you really want to tackle in ~10 episodes. It's just not enough time (plus the wasted time to set it up, which could be 1-2 more episodes for us!).
Let's see where this is going, and if you can set the gals into a more promising situation with the 10 episodes that we still have. I, for one, am looking forward to every one of them. With the looting of that supply ship and the pogrom that's going rather well, I'd say it's looking up right now!
I wish I could offer to pick up your LP if Meridian won't, but I have never done it and it would probably be a disgrace
