Considering it's the holiday season and getting close to exams for college students (yes, over a month is 'close to exams' for college students, especially post-grad.), I'd say we're doing good to get what activity we have, especially since some jobs, like retail, get busier this time of year (I myself am anticipating my work offering me more hours as we get closer to Christmas, and have already worked extra shifts this month.). If you want to liven things up, my advice is start some threads or come up with an event idea and post it in the plotting area. To my knowledge, there's never really been a rule against random members starting events in the past, and what plot there is is usually player-driven here anyway.
