Alright - let me clarify a bit.  My intention is not to have everyone wrapped with every scene by the time a month is over.  That's not realistic, and at best it forces people to rush like crazy and at worst it kills the enjoyment of the games and cuts threads midway through.  My intention is that new months become the cutoffs for certain dates, in that no NEW threads/scenes are opened on those dates.  So - it now being the month of May, I'm declaring the third closed to NEW scenes.   That's not a mandate to finish the scenes you're in; it's a request that any new scenes between players be dated the 4th and continue on from the 4th.  In June, I'll want to declare the 4th closed to new scenes, as well.<br/><br/>It sounds like the idea of an event thread is fairly popular - so when I kick off the event on the fourth, people can react however they choose to the event, choose to participate or 'opt out' as their characters would, and the events in the thread will be parallel to ongoing actions in the rest of Gomorra.  But we'll be keeping them collected in one place for ease of reading.
