Fallen, I speak for myself but to me your opinion matters not because I want to cause any drama but because I want to avoid it. Me and a small group of others have been getting really impatient with this tempo and are ready to split off - something I want to avoid and would like to thus discuss with everyone so it doesn't look like anyone's betraying anybody else. Saying that, I can't keep them waiting forever either so I'll have to act if I don't get any response from anyone in the next few days.

If that is what you and others feel has to happen, then I won't judge you. My whole problem is I don't understand or know why this is an issue. I am a GM and a player so I can relate to both problems on each end better then most. 

This is the first time I've seen something this small cause so much conflict among others. In addition while I would wish I wasn't stuck and the rp was faster, I see no reason to push my speed on others or complain. I know it doesn't solve anything but I also know silence doesn't either. A GM can only do so much with what they do know and how many agree, even if it's just through pms.  

Unlike Lucius, I've put blood, sweat, tears and more then I really should since I first joined back in Tears. I literally agonized over OP concerns for upcoming ideas for Emmet, consulted Arena/outside players to balance abilities, thrown out plots or ideas, and spent days to weeks (Even over a month) hashing out Lore dealing with essence. On top of that seeking loopholes which didn't break the world and all the time keeping it hidden. I'll admit part of me is depress that this might not come to fruition or even happen at all like many of my stories [i]if[/i] interest is lost, namely cause Emmet's arc doesn't just affect key players but everyone. Human, Angel, Demon and even Chimera will feel the consequences of a series of actions set into motion by one individual. 

However, while I might be heavily invested, I don't want to make a hasty statement just because I have story I want to play out. Even as I'm currently stuck with both Emmet and Olivia.

It's not fair to others in my mind for me to suggest something without knowing the facts first. Namely because I can adjust it if needed when I know ahead of time what I have to work with. Not to mention key factors like player amount, RL issues, the fact most these posts are collab and other things. Not to forget one key fact: a story always takes much longer when you have more then one "author" writing the tale. 

Either way I'm not here to get caught up in politics which is what I fear this will turn into. Since you need an answer now, I'll deliver one: 

I've always thought a two week limit for a post was reasonable. It's enough time to usually finish most Collabs, unless it's a holiday, yet faster then the current pace right now. It's a compromising middle for both speeds. Those who don't post, at least without notifying of upcoming problems, are free game to be removed to the side and that would leave the current player to continue on.

On a side note, I feel much better. I tried to state things clearly, passively and reasonable so my statements merely say my view. I rather not continue them as while I didn't state it, I can understand other views and in no way am trying to force it on others. With that said, I've said my suggestion which ends my role currently.
