I know I sound really insolent, ignorant, etc. etc. and whatnot, but let me explain.
Since the game's actual demise (so far), there's been a notable drop in players playing SWM. It's great that the V-sets are being made, but it's not quite the same as having the actual figs, and I think that's what put people off. And I know many people are (just like you) on the fence whether it's worth playing SWM anymore. And I think when they hear you, as one of the obvious leaders of SWM, possibly deciding to give up the game, they might lose morale and decide to follow as well. Like you said, a lot of us have other problems to deal with (ex. financial issues), so it'd be easy to cave in and sell the SWM lot. I know for myself that close friends have urged me to give up the game, sell the lot, and pick up a new hobby. I'm embarassed to say this, but I have been selling some figs, though I still trade a lot as well.
Don't get me wrong, I think (based on what others say, and what I've seen you say as a Mod/Member of both BM and Gamers) you totally deserve a "sabbatical", so to speak. You've definitely been part of the core team of SWM and been a big help on BM. I just want to mention how people could easily mis-interpret your comment and think you're saying the game has lost steam and that it's not worth playing anymore (especially if people don't know what "MDB" stands for)
Just my two cents, hope I didn't offend anyone.
I intended to say the game was losing steam with me. My interest seems to diminish when my main interaction with it is online, and my online experience is so far from fun.
Anyway, now that Percocet feels he needs to help his buddy, I am gone for a week. Take care, don't inflame it too much.
