I am happy to proceed. I like Garrison, and I really wanted to play the character.
Attrition is endemic to PbP: this game began 10+ months ago, and we're still level 1. I know there has been a lot of dead air in that time, but the two facts form a feedback loop: working up from level 1 is almost impossible, and yet everyone thinks their game will be an exception.
The question is, IG, do *you* want to continue? If so, then we can go. Or we can fast forward a few years and maybe recruit some more people, but at a level that is more likely to keep players invested. That way, if people want to leave, they can, and if you want to continue the game that can happen too, no harm no foul.
