Non-jokingly though, only go for it if you think you can handle it. I understand it can be rough on a GM handling two parties at once.
Is there talk of having two groups? As awesome as that sounds, I do fear for a GM burnout. Too many RP's that have died on me, I'd like this to live

Well, the longest thread I've ever ran hit, oh, 6200 pages, with a regular "Plot Night" were I'd have to coordinate at least six people, writing multi-paragraph replies with each of them in different positions. This also involved getting done with a MEGAREPLY, hitting "refresh" and then seeing that two more people had added paragraphs, and then adding a few more lines. This usually also involved a side character at the default location interacting with non-quest PC's.
I'm pretty sure I can handle two parties of four with the shorter post style we have here, provided that they make it easy on me by specifying [Party A/B and Location] at the beginning of their posts.
Wow. I should be able to do that, and I can amp up the RP provided I have sufficient free time.
Could you link us to the thread in question? I could do with some reading.
