Okay, great work here.

I see:

1) a pared-down plot that will be managable with the gamers available, with a clear sense of where the action will lead/conclude.
2) an agreed-upon posting schedule. (Remember, in a tightly plotted game, one person not posting means many others likely cannot post either. Gaming, like nature, abhors a vacuum.)
3) a time frame, something to aim for: shall we say, then end of December? (Hah, last posts as a new year's eve party)

What I don't see is something specific about which game owner will do what. Who is the one owner I can contact, who will then contact everyone else in the game, if need be? Who will be responsible for nudging tardy gamers? Who will check in daily or at least every other day, just in case any problems or confusions develop? Remember, the game actually belongs to ALL the gamers, who contribute ideas and posts. But the game does need someone to 'oversee' it so that narrative threads don't unravel. Let me know which game owner will do what and then I will open the thread.
