Well I sure don't have a lot of time on my hands, but I heard 'W:tA' from across the meatspace and had to come poke in.
W:tA has always been my wheelhouse. It's my favorite system, hands down, and probably always will be. If something were to get jumpstarted, I may try to throw a character in and at least be an occasional participant when I can manage it (though, honestly, most of my play will ultimately have to be forums or email based, since it's rough to find time to sit down for more than an hour at a time with both hands free, y'know?)

What I've Enjoyed:
What I've Disliked:
I don't like giving critiques about a game or a system when I don't have the time or energy or 'oomph' to craft and present an overarching storyline myself, but without honesty we don't get anywhere right?
I'd love to play again, though, regardless. I get nostalgic for the fuzz sometimes.

What I've Enjoyed:
- Diverse demographics
- Excitement! Drama! Sexiness! Political Intrigue! Horror and terror!
- A strong storyline to follow (that is to say, a driving goal as oposed to a bunch of small disjointed stories that don't build to a greater point)
- Flexibility and freedom for characters to do what they would be inclined to do
What I've Disliked:
- Stagnancy
- Having your character stopped from taking an action they otherwise would without in character motivation/prevention for it
- A lack of weight and danger-- the game's not fun if everything happening is just relationship building and unrelated to the supernatural
