How are they doing? For reference, my friend and I have been waiting for about 8 months and so far, to no avail. I knew it would take some perseverance to get RPAL, but I didn't realize how much. If you're waiting like me, read some of the papers at https://sunnypapers.com/paper-samples/perseverance/ for more useful information. Myself, I discovered interesting ideas about fishing and intend to put them into practice soon.
