dsjstr expressed interest earlier in replacing in, so I've reached out to him. If he replaces in before the timer runs out, I'll reset the timer to 24 hours to give him a chance to catch up.
If he's no longer interested, or if I don't hear back from him before the timer expires, I'll invoke AutoPlay for this round and post a public replacement request.
