Not addressed to me, but as I'm in the same shoes as Eddie, I'll respond. 
Having to play off of and be directly involved with other players would most definitely increase my post activity. When someone can only continue once I respond, I do my best to not make them wait, and I often post immediately in those cases. Because I hate dragging another player down like that. So in the sense of being involved, personal post activity would go up.

But, the point I think Eddie is making - and correct me if I'm wrong, assuming you haven't replied by the time I finish typing this - is that it would still take time for him, and I, as players who have posted so slowly as to write ourselves into these lonesome corners to place our characters in a spot where they [i]could[/i] become involved. I would love to interact with others - Byrd and DocTachyon know I've discussed some things with them briefly - and participating in an MME would be great. But my character is not yet in a position to do so, not until I complete this narrative point I'm trying to reach and end on. Once I do, I will then be completely available to interact and participate with others in ways that fit the narrative. But because I haven't yet, it wouldn't make narrative or character sense to incorporate that at this point. Which is why holding off on the next MME until the second season is appealing for players like Eddie and I. 

[sub] Apologies if I spoke for you out of place, Eddie. [/sub]

EDIT: God damn, I even type these OOC posts so slowly that the conversation has already ended. Ignore me.
