I think we should abandon any idea of a race with QI. They've made 20 posts in the last two days, putting them 320 ahead on 3052. We haven't moved for six days and there doesn't seem to be much interest at the moment.

I'm quite happy to continue the game indefinitely, but it needs a minimum of two committed players. I can't make another post until someone posts 2733.
