With 8 of them in an inactive or not-yet approved status. And with four permanent inactives. That keeps us at 36 present with about 30 posting regularly. We're sitting at 248 IC posts at the moment. Two more and we'll be a quarter of the way to a big board.<br/><br/>     Just wanted to thank everyone for their contributions thus far - particularly my six extra-special hard-working Co-GMs; whose PM boxes have literally been exploding over the last couple of days as I've been focusing on a couple of casting/plot adjustments, as well as new character additions in Blink, Colossus, Dr. Doom, Ms.Marvel, Magneto (change of player), Gambit, Rogue, Spring-Heeled Jack, Thor, and Lady Deathstrike  (all within the last week!). <br/><br/>     Awesome job so far everyone. The game is going really well and every thread is finally moving along briskly once more. I'll be focusing my efforts on LA over the next couple of days to get the plot, direction, and characters there situated and the story progressing again. Blink will also be arriving in LA within her next post or two. So we should see life there again very soon!<br/><br/>     Thanks everyone. Keep it up! The story is GREAT so far, and now that the main plot is on course and everyone's getting the feel for it (after Stark's speech), I'm already beginning to see multiple sub-plots evolving with Selene and Loki, Doom and world domination, Crash and Hurt&amp;Harm, Blink and Apocalypse, Carnage and Spidey, and then of course the beginning formations of the formal Resistance on two fronts: Iron Man's in Tokyo and Agent Brand's in Cairo. <br/><br/>     Great to see so far!</div>
