Thank you for the suggestion and thanks to other people who have sent me PMs to warn me about the people who aren't posting. Before I give you my take on this,
I would like to ask all the players to PM me their opinion on the subject (so as to not clutter the thread):
Firstly, from the perspective of the Golden Age of CC mafia (back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth

) you are correct that this game is not very active. Back then, new posts were comming in almost all the time as many among us had been spending hours on the Forum waiting for other players to repond to their posts and then instantly responding to them.
Today, sadly, many of you went and grew up

, so you don't have time to do this any more. Then there is also the fact that the posting so far has predominantly been of the long, thought out variaty - which requires careful reading before reponding and which means that a serious player has to set aside a bigger chunk of time for each response and, because of all the "growing up" bussiness, they have less time. In fact, many players, especially among those whos sleaves I pulled to asked them to join, were upfont with the fact that they won't be able to post very frequantly.
The other concern is that our bench is kind of short right now. We have just two players that I'm familliar with and who are willing to sub. Since subbing is a permanent sort of deal, especially since it is going to be very hard to reuse existing players after they die, since many of them will come by at least some exclusive information in a few Nights and thus unsutable for subbing.
Idealy, I absolutely agree with you that anyone who decided to play should be expected to find the time to actually participate at least 4 days per week and, if you perspective is shared by the majority of active players, I would be happy to change the prodding policy in the way that you described. I would much appriciate if you guys PM me me on this matter. If you are time-challanged, just give me a simple 'yay' or 'nay' (and make it clear enough for my simple mind what exactly you are yaying or naying

)
P.S. Since there is 26 of you so it's hard for me to notice when one of you drops of. If you notice someone submarrining, please PM me "x hasn't posted in y days." and I'll prod them. Thanks in advance.P.P.S. For all you busy people, please make an effort to write at least a short post every day or so. I know it's a lot to ask, but *
goes on a inspiring half houre speach, mostly rehashing J.F.K. and Churchill 
* so please try.
