This RP is still clearly getting interest, and it would be a shame to see such an ambitious story that people want to play out die because the GM’s MIA. I’m somewhat surprised that there isn’t a Co-GM; it’s almost always integral to have someone who can carry the story when you just can’t at the moment, and it opens you up to new ideas with another brain to help build the script. So we’ve tried to get into contact with Italian, correct? He hasn’t answered, posted, or even logged on the site in three weeks. I think that’s a long enough time to have someone else take over and be GM in place of our missing irradiated southern European friend. Also, elect a Co-GM so something like this doesn’t happen again. Maybe even form other groups going down the two other routes, so that we’re not tethered down if one group’s slower to posting than the other. The different groups could be in line with different factions, all trying to race to the end to see who can claim the railways first. And with a large group of people participating in the RP, do we really want all of them bunched up? 

That’s my two cents anyway. Follow it or don’t, but something needs to happen if this RP is to stay afloat. Dead RP’s are a dime a dozen on this website, let’s make an experience worth millions.
