Crap. I see I messed things up here. I was certain Andy had moved on to find a new opponent or claim a victory after exchanging some emails some time ago. Here was our last correspondence, I hope you don't mind me posting it, there is nothing personal in nature.

Great vacation, thanks!
Yeah, we're still playing this one....!!!! The tourney is still going and most folks have finished up. Shame your enthusiasm has waned....a quick flurry of files and the agony will be over in no time...lol. I don't know anything about replacements - it's kind of late in the day for that (the tourney was supposed to have finished at the beginning of April). You could always concede the game, of course, if it is really too tiresome to continue!
Cheers,
Andy.

Hi Andy!
How was vacation? I hope all is well. Are we still playing this one? Is the tourney still going? I haven't been to the forum in weeks and weeks. If you want to get a replacement for this one, I wouldn't mind at all <hint, hint>. Loading up CM lately has been excruciating lol
Best,
Craig

From the gist of this I thought Andy had gone on to find a replacement or claim a victory. I couldn't find any email after this that I had sent Andy to confirm he had done either of the above and that is my error for having thought about it but not implement it.
No excuses, just an explanation. I was indeed selfish and thoughtless. I placed a self imposed no-gaming ban on myself to get a headstart getting a new career going the last 2 months or so. Only sent a turn here or there to keep games alive. I conceeded a huge game with Okimaw that I knew I couldn't finish. Since Andy and I hadn't really started playing our game, I figured it best to stop before it got started after my long delays.
The disconnect was my fault. Apologies for the lack of consideration.
And, as for the first game, I won that one. Again, I thought I'd posted the results at one point
