Have you guys started?  Is OOC UP?  Would anyone like to take a large independent vassal beneath them?  Still looking for people?

You're quite free to join. You can however not play as a vassal to other players. The idea is that you play as the ruling dynasty of a kingdom/realm on the island.

Probably, yes ;)
