They have changed the site and it took me a bit to find the DC House Rules, you will not have to change your will to include continuing orders for this game:

If a game appears to be stalemated, the GM may choose to declare the
game a DIAS if there appears to be no substantial change to the board
dynamics for 4 consecutive turns (2 years). This rule is most likely to
apply where some power(s) have demonstrated a stalemate line that cannot
be broken given a fixed set of defensive orders. If the No Substantial
Change rule is to be invoked, the GM will notify the players after the
2nd season (1 year in) of effect, allowing them at least one full year
to consider the implications of a potential stalemate. Any declared
stalemate will be a DIAS where all players in control of at least 1
supply center will share equally in a draw. Some things that may break a
stalemate are:
The capture of a supply centerDislodging a unitPlayer request, with explanation of why the game is not
stalemated

According to this I need to declare that some players have demonstrated that a stalemate has been reached and you have 1 year, 2 Season, in which to change the situation or agree to a DIAS.  At the end of Fall '15 I will call the game if there has been no change in the board.

Christine,

 

What are the rules here? How many seasons of not changing any sc's ownership are needed for a draw to be declared?

 

Or are there no such rules? Assuming Sam will happily continue his game, should I put in my will that my grandchildren and their successors should continue to copy-paste always the same set of orders in this game until the end of times?

 

Thank you for all your patience,

João
