Okay, so what I'm asking is: What next? How do we jumpstart the board? How do we proceed?
I'm wondering which RP's we should try to run with, because lord knows we've got many we could do. We might try to restart some of the newer RP's, the thinking being that in doing so we would be liberated from the constraints of continuity and be able to run freely whereever we want to go. RP's in this category would be the new 24 RP, the Ultimate RP, or Norph's Your Life RP that was loosely based on the Bourne movies.
Or maybe, in case this really is our last leg, we should try to wrap up the continuity stuff, the stuff that is rooted in story. That way, if we do have to close shop, we can do so with a clean conscience. My only gripe with this option is that these RP's slowed down for a reason; they were becoming pretty clouded with everything that was going on. Maybe save them for a later date?
We could try to reboot everything, but that seems a little radical. Not everybody has time for five, six RP's, and I imagine we'd just collapse again.
Lastly, we could start completely fresh. No real opinions on this one.
But hey; no worries. We've been on the brink of everything before, and we pulled back. We can do it again. Vote away, my friends.

Personally, I think we should try and reboot everything if entirely possible. It would seem stupid to leave some RP's untouched...

I say go for the new-ish RPs, we need something new and I wouldn't like to go back to the Matrix RP without Matrixia, she's quite a big part of it. But I don't think we should start any new ones, we have too many RPs at the moment to start any new ones.

Alright... so, gameplan is, we wait the week out for Matrixia, and if she doesn't show, we try to go with the 24 RP (or any of the others).
That sound good to you guys?

No sh*t, me too! I just finished the first one, and am trying to pick up Supremacy.
Where are you at? Do you like them?

I love them, great books,. I'm nearing the end of The Bourne Supremacy, however I do feel the love between Marie and Jason Bourne is a bit...well...too much.

Yeah, I was getting that vibe by the end of book one. To be honest, I loved it, but I was tired of it by the end. I was glad that it was done.
The thing that surprised me was that it was completely unrecognizable from the movies. The main character shares Matt Damon's character's name... and pretty much nothing else.

I agree, apart from the start, nothing is the same and the second book doesn't have anything to do with the films. However, this made it hard for me to read at the start because I kept trying to relate to the films.
You should try the next book, I found it easier to read than the first, mainly because I wasn't trying to look for things that were in the films and because it is totally unrelated to them. The story is also better in my opinion.

The whole conspiracy in the first book was what really made the book excellent for me. Carlos and Cain were just scintillating to follow, and I didn't see some of the twists coming at all.
What's the second about, anywho?

This is the description on the back of the book:
In a Kowloon cabaret, scrawled in a pool of blood, is a name the world wanted to forget: Jason Bourne. the Chinese Vice-Premier has been brutally slain by a lengendary assassin. World leaders ask the same fearful questions: why has Jason Bourne come back? Who is paying him? Who is the next to die? But US officials know the real Jason Bourne didn't carry out this assassination - someone else did, someone who has stolen Bourne's identity. Unless they are stopped, the world will pay a devastating price. So the real Jason Bourne must live again, and utilize his lethal skills because, once again, like a nightmare relived, the woman he loves is suddenly torn from his life. To find her, trap his imposter, and uncover a secret plan, Bourne must launch a desperate odyssy into the espionage killing feilds. But this time, survival will nto be enough. This time Bourne must reign supreme.
I actually think the twists in the books are better than the films.
