Do y'all play by post?

Once long ago I did. Shortly before it died I find the post:

Archie carefully picked a strand of the moss away from his ear and focused on it.

"Where did this come from?" he wondered.

Tossing the strand away, he looked at his watch again and tapped it. The LCD read 5:26, the same way it had 15 minutes ago and 15 minutes before that and well, forever, it seemed.

The "Back in 5 minutes" sign had fallen away from the door when the adhesive dried up and Archie stared at it forlornly. At least it had gone somewhere, even if that was only falling down to the floor.

Archie sighed.

This came not long after "2 months of play and we've finally got three characters in the same room!"

So my play by post experiences have not been sterling.

Nope, can't stand play by pot. I even tried to run over Skype for some friends I hadn't gamed with in years. It only lasted three sessions and I folded it. I need that face to face experience.

Here's a plot;

The PCs work for a powerful and well liked female patron. She uses them for rather petty missions that only later are revealed to have set in motion serious events cause-and-effect style. Chagrined at having set in motion the events villains normally set in motion in campaigns, they start to try and consolidate power against this powerful public figure. When they feel they can make their move, it is discovered that the NPCs cat is truly the villain, and she is just a mindless pawn.
