Okay, I'll step back and let you run things then.<br/><br/>In my opinion, the two group thing wasn't working well.  It separated the dedicated players, divided the momentum, and just created an awkward writing experience without really adding anything to the game as a whole.<br/><br/>We don't know if/when Capone is going to return.  He didn't really provide guidance as to how the game should continue.  As it stands now, the game is dead.  We have the opportunity to fix what went wrong and what didn't work.  It's going to take a group effort to resuscitate it.  Thankfully, it looks like we've got people interested and willing to do just that.  In order for it to actually get healthy again, I believe that the game needs to be something that everyone is happy with, and not just a copy of what Capone was trying to do, or what we think he wanted.<br/><br/>The other problem with the two cliques is that they aren't going to be the same, or even close to similar.  Without Megan, Miriam, Jeremiah, and Marcus (Jugg hasn't said anything since the 18th of July) that removes more than half the characters who were at the Henderson Farm thread, and reduces that "clique" to roughly 4-5 people.  Likewise, if Bib isn't returning, we lose both Naomi and Benny who were the cornerstones of the second clique.<br/><br/>With the loses we already know we're taking, the game isn't going to be the same.  If everyone was coming back, it'd be enough to simply create new threads and rebuild momentum.  Since that isn't the case, we need to do something to improve and rebuild so that the game doesn't find itself in the same position it currently is in again.
