I want to hear [@Lugubrious] speak for himself. He's poured years into the game, and even my contrarian argumentative ass isn't gonna write him off unless he says he's gone.

But even if he's not interested any more, I say this game has a strong enough playerbase and bonds between teams that we could turn this fame into a communist utopia of an RP and run it as a group. It'd take some ironing out, but I think it's preferable to a reboot or letting the game die outright.
