A, who is still playing
B) I seem to have lost interest in this game, I want to make sure people want to play.
This seems not to be "Clicking"

Still here.
Re: A question to the group
I'm still interested in playing. I've never tried a druid before, and would like to see how it all shakes out.
Perhaps the open-ended world setting you've set up for us is contributory, if I may be so bold. Without a clearly cohesive storyline, it's sometimes difficult to manufacture motivation for one's character. Our characters are brand new, don't really know each other, and have no common directions, goals or interests at the moment. In a table-top setting, this is no big deal, since invariably someone takes the initiative to get things rolling and everyone else either jumps in, or at least tags along. In play-by-post, it's less obvious that this action is necessary, as it's more common for players to just "check in" and see if things have started to take off. In other settings, it would be the DM would provides that guidance, via an NPC or an event or some such. In an open-ended, "sandbox" setting, things can kind of just... wind down.
In short, I think all this party really needs to get going is a swift kick in the ass. For example...

I'm also here, but I'm extremely busy trying to gear up for RinCon.

Re: A question to the group
I will try to guide the party poor, thank you for the feedback.
BTW, everyone roll for initiative and call out actions and make needed in the Ribbit thread, I will try to put most of the combats into individual threads for clarity sake.
We have Greywolf, bloodymage, Xaxyx, tkrexx, acererak, and two hirelings as the party.

Re: A question to the group
(I usually merely rely upon the email notifications and go to the link to read the thread and post replies. Because I hadn't heard anything in a little bit, I decided to check around the forum a little more and fortunately saw this new thread. I will try to do that more often.)
