I haven't tried this myself, but long ago someone on here in your position had a stroke of genius, which was to contact google's data protection office (the one in Ireland) requesting the complete archive of all the information google had on him. If you reach that level of this game, there will be one final test of your valor, when the google data protection officers ask if you want your account restored. Many before you have been kicked to the curb at that point by answering in the affirmative, only to be told to their chagrin that restoring people's accounts isn't the data protection officers' department. The correct answer is "I would like you to provide me with the complete archive of all information google has about me. One way of fulfilling this legal obligation would be to restore my account, but the way you do it is up to you." Shortly thereafter, the commenter was sent an email with a link that got him back into his account.
