Yes, Pickles is R'yleh and has not replied to PM so far. I do not have his eMail. And, no, Norfleet did not tell me the master password, so we cannot set him to AI...
So considering Cainhill's situation, I think it is the best to ask ReverendZombie to set the game back to 72hrs QH after this weekend. Since in my view the game is still interesting enough even without R'yleh. So do we three (Cainehill/Pangaea, JJ_Colorado/Abysia, Chazar/Caelum) continue our epic struggle for godhood or is anyone else giving it up already???
@JJ_Colorado: Are you still there as well and interested in beating me up?

(Not that I will let you beat me!
