so i'll let you guys vote.  Should we set a certain time limit for posts?  say, a week or two weeks?  If no response within said time limit, should we kill off the characters or just continue on 'assuming' they died.  That way if they ever come back, they can just pretend they went along with everyone?  What do you guys think?  I'm personally all for killing people off lol.  Just to get the story moving.
