I am here (ish. about to leave for a few days), but somewhat against continuing this. Don't think there will be the numbers anyway. I think what we need to do is really look at what we can do to improve the longevity of these games. I think Cecil said a page or so back that nothing has recaptured the fun of the Cataclysm in KotR and that is certainly a feeling I share. Personally, I also think we need to move away from vanilla, though I realise this will cost us those players who cannot or do not want to mod. But playing Gondor in TATW is going to be more of a long term challenge than any faction vanilla can throw at us.
