Good call. Should not take 3-4 days to write 6-10 words.

Is it time for a reboot yet? So far the few IC posts these past 2 weeks haven't done much to move it along. It looks like you lost another player (or two) as it appears that someone dropped out again without telling anyone.
Watching from the sidelines these past weeks waiting for the coach to let me play, is not inspiring me with any confidence this group is going to be posting more than once per week.
If we DO actually get started, perhaps everyone can agree to some ground rules about frequency of posting and letting everyone else know when they are going to be AFK for more than 1-2 days. That way everyone else continue along until they get back.

I am in.
I also can commit to posting 3-4 times per week, if not at least once per day.
I also can agree to provide notification if I cannot post for 2+ days to not hold everyone else up.

Rory Shanahan waits to prove that he's more than a pretty face. 
I'm in as well. Willing and able to post daily. But, can't really go anywhere when we're waiting on initiative order and the person in front of me hasn't moved. I mean I don't mind writing my own actions but I don't want to step on anyones toes by just writing in what my character would do and just ignoring and not waiting for any other characters or for the GM to tell me the results...after all I believe ThWatcher and I moved to cover and were watching to see what the creature did or get a better view of it...so correct me if I'm wrong, but we were waiting for the other two characters to act and for the GM to tell us what the creature was doing before we just opened fire on it...
Also, I don't know what happened with EN either because it doesn't send email alerts.

I've updated the first post with the player/character list so far.
I think at least part of the problem so far was everyone was waiting for someone else to do something.
I was waiting for two players to tell me what they were doing, other were waiting for me to do something, ect... So it all just kind of stalled out. But that's ok, it's nothing we can't recover from.
This campaign is intended to be very episodic rather then a series. Events in the different "episodes" will carry though and effect events, but for the most part, each one will be mostly self contained. So if someone is going to be away for a bit, they could miss a whole episode without any real problem.
For combat I want to use the system I'm using in my Pathfinder campaign that's running here.
The way that works is each PC posts what their actions will be for the round, but you don't have to do so in INT order. Then once all the PC's post their actions I'll post a end of round report of what happened, adjusting the actions as needed based on the NPC's actions.
If we're not in combat, then I expect people to just post what they're doing when they can. The only time this will be an issue is it involves the group moving somewhere, in that case I'd like to treat it more like combat, with everyone posting what they're doing and then I post a report of what happens.
However everyone should feel free to have conversations or general Role play as they wish pretty much all the time.
If you have any questions let me know, or if you have an suggestions or issues with the above also let me know.

VanorDM: I do have a suggestion. When we enter combat the GM can roll Initiative for the players and then include the results in the post tha has combat beginning. This can eliminate confusion and can save a step in the posting for some, but importantly it is good to know if you are going first compared to last, before posting your actions for round 1.
This does add a little extra burden on the GM though. Just a suggestion though, I will happily play either way.
Edit: Also considering the player list has been updated, I am assuming Kara and Rory can go ahead and begin posting their out of scene setups until we arrive all together at Ms. Johnson's.
