Also of note...one of our main proponents for the Iberia roleplay has left the group - this doesn't mean Iberia should be abandoned, if anything we are less constrained by the time period to roleplay in Iberia.

And as it has been said: Iberia wasn't intended to be the sole RP of Dar al Islam, it was simply the topic which seemed to garner the most fancy at the group's creation. Other RP topics were envisioned as being easily adopted through the creation of additional threads. I think the problem remains having enough people interested so that an effective RP can be undertaken.
