Trout,
  I'm with you! I completely agree that this community
has grown far too quiet. This is the least activity
I've seen in almost eight years, and it hurts to see
the community I "grew up in" as dead as this. I'll
stick with you - I'll always be GMing one game, and
always be playing in one (as long as I can get into
one once I'm wiped out in another!!) Speaking of
getting wiped out, anyone want to GM a game? I only
have one SC left in the game I'm in now. ;)

&gt; That's right.  Four posts in two years.  That<br>
&gt; explains why this group didn't come up when I<br>
&gt; searched 'Cat23' on the yahoogroups.<wbr>.  <br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; So I'm throwing down the gauntlet here.  My foot<br>
&gt; just dragged that line in the sand.  I know there's<br>
&gt; many veteran players who once haunted the Cat that<br>
&gt; are now enjoying the environs of a more 'elite'<br>
&gt; group of players.  Unfortunately, with your absence<br>
&gt; it seems that the heart and the soul of Cat-23 has<br>
&gt; moved on with you.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Now I know you don't know the Trout from Adam, but<br>
&gt; here I am calling you all out.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; I hereby institute my GM Pledge.  I will always have<br>
&gt; at least one game running on this list, and I will<br>
&gt; forthwith always be playing in at least one game.  <br>
&gt; I challenge all you GM's on this list to meet me in<br>
&gt; this.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; So come on down to my playing field, or come on down<br>
&gt; to let me know what you think about this brash young<br>
&gt; upstart.  Either way, lets get the Cat-23 community<br>
&gt; going again.   =)<br>
