[@Dragonruby] Good point, does seem a bit dickish. I guess I'm worried/curious on how the AI of other races would behave or interact with them seeing as AI collectives tend only to be something you see in the higher end tech of sci-fi races and such. Perhaps limit/prohibit other AI races at the moment from this point on besides IcPick's and grant them special reprieve? In this regard his creation and effort wouldn't be wasted but the RP also would still have room to go with AI-related things and not have a sudden influx of machines.

Tagging [@MissingAxis] since it seems like something they should be aware of. Also, Axis, may I recommend picking coGMs to run things when you aren't on?
