Ok, it is no March 13th.

The plan was (orignally) to end the current project(s) on or around April
1st.

Currently, here are some numbers for the submissions:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 93377 Feb 28 17:59 characters
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 45039 Feb 28 18:10 plots
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31289 Feb 28 18:15 sprawls

As you can see, we have a great variety of characters, nearly 100k of
them. But we are seriously lacking in plots, and even moreso in sprawls.

--------

Thus, I am forced to conclude one or more the following
A) People are out of ideas (I don't buy that)
B) People are busy (I understand that, but still there should be
something)
C) People feel constrained somehow
D) I am an ineffectual leader who will soon be assinated


-------

So what's the deal everyone? Where do we stand? In two weeks we are
going to end and move on to new projects. We started with some great
stuff, but have petered out lately. I didn't post because I didn't want
to be nagging, but this is getting rediculous.

In the next two weeks, if we can, I'd like to double out current ammounts
of stuff. that will be 200k of characters, 90k to 100k of plots and 60k
of sprawls.

Here are some springboard ideas

CHARACTER:
Dragons, Sasquaches, Political figures (from all spectrums),
other non-humanoid things, AIs (not necessarily evil bitches like
MONICA)

Plots:
Magic Quests, Somethign about college campuses, political
intrigue, something in space, somehting about hollywood, drugs,
upstart VP discovers company he works for are evil assholes and
plans to fix it (the Firm?).

Sprawls:
Virtual sites, fixer shops, druglabs, gangsta bars.

---------------

Go too it, my minions. And if I'm doing something wrong, please let me
know, because this is not only a project I want to be successful, but I
also have some grades depending on its success.

Anf if my restrictions are too narrow, let me know and I'll see if they
fit or if are better in later ideas.
