((Most of the players of the survivors who met up at the mall seem to have vanished and/or lost interest. I figure if we want to explain it away we could have an really unexpected attack or something - lots of chaos and fighting and such and maybe something explodes/collapses to seal off the active characters from the inactives - who's fates will be kept a mystery (though of course it'd be logical for characters to assume they were eaten or otherwise killed)  in case someone comes back so they can make a dramatic return and it'll be all like "You survived!" and stuff. Probably followed by pointing of firearms and checking for zombification.<br/><br/>Just an idea to explain the disappearances because I don't think Shadow's the only one who left. Excepting Wacko, everyone has a month or more of inactivity and thus are probably not returning so giving them all an excuse to vanish (and a chance at returning on the off chance they come back) seems like it'd be better than just pretending the huge party suddenly just became two dudes for no apparent reason. ))
