I don't get the impression this is going anywhere to be honest, should we just axe this or try harder to get it going?  I'm not saying the quality of posts has been low, because they haven't, or that there's something wrong with the structure of the story itself.  I'm pretty happy with how everyone's been writing and the idea of what we're doing, it's just that we're moving at too slow of a pace to really allow the kind of engagement that would make this enjoyable (for me at least).  I won't be upset if we break the group up into people or ask certain people to leave (fewer people might speed things along) in which case I'll volunteer to have my character die from his explosive gambit.  I just want to know what we can do to make this enjoyable and paced more reasonably.
