GOD TO RETIRE!?!?!?!

Link

THE HEAVENS—At a press conference Tuesday, God Almighty, our Lord and Heavenly Father, gave his strongest indication yet that he might soon step down from his post as the supreme ruler of all things.

Following a routine address during which God confirmed the recent extinction of several thousand species, the Divine Creator fielded questions regarding rumors of his possible retirement.

"I've been at this a long time," said God, ∞, the all-knowing, all-powerful being who has presided over the cosmos since forming it from sheer nothingness nearly 14 billion years ago. "And the truth is, this was never something I planned on doing forever. Lately, in fact, I've begun to wonder if I should move on sooner rather than later."

God has finally admitted that the rumors surrounding his impending retirement are true. At the end of this year he will hang up his cloud for the final time.

"I'm too old for this (expletive)", he grumbled in a downtown strip club.

So much for Edgar's ace in the hole.

StartOrien said he can be skipped, meaning Kiorrik is up until 4:20pm.  Assuming he won't be online, Edgar can start Round 12 at 5:20pm.

I think you mean Round 10 ... unless I've missed a couple rounds, (which is entirely possible).
