In all seriousness, I think most dead periods ended when someone put forward a new Proposal with a set of new rules for a new Game Play idea, and also ran it long enough to work out the bugs in the idea. If the game is relatively easy to get into, enough other "waiting players" tended to jump right in. We saw it begin to happen with the Dungeon Master a couple months ago; people jumped in. But then a bug happened, and the original D.M. didn't care enough (or have the time) to fix it, so it just died out when e didn't do so. If you write your own rules for such a game/addition, you'll be the "expert" on those rules to begin with. Though they might not all work as you intend exactly, so if you do this, please post drafts of your proposal before you formally propose it; one thing our collective experience helps in is finding bugs. -G.
