Yup, I'm back from Ireland and, even though I'm still plenty busy, I'd like to see RMN stay alive.

I'm thinking that in the next version of the game (and yes, I've got a bunch of the new features running), we could have a "nag screen" that appears for a few seconds when you quit the game, not unlike the "Please register your shareware!" messages in the shareware versions of old computer games. See the attached image for a recruitment screen that we could include in the game.

The twist is that instead of asking for money, we'd ask for help. We've done tons of planning and bickering, but we're still very much in need of actual content. This could help.

I still want to stay involved in the project, and I figure if we could bring RMN back from near-death once (or twice, really), we can do it again. I'm happy to stick around here if folks want to get involved again and I'm hoping to start working on the beta again, but I realize that we're going to need a lot of help to realize even a portion of what we've got planned, and I (we) can't do it alone.

Anyway, let me know what you think and whether you're still interested. If we focus on producing content rather than just planning stuff, I think we can keep fighting to a minimum. If you have suggestions, let me know. And if you're sick of this thing, well, let me know that too. I know I was for a while, so I can't blame you.
