[quote=Synthorian]If something suddenly happens today that will impede you from posting completely, it's not that hard to tell us today, or tomorrow, or the day after.[/quote]

I don't like this phrasing. What if there's a death in the family, or your group of friends? What if you get in an accident? Worse case scenario, you [i]won't[/i] be able to tell us the day of, or even after. Whether it be because you're in the hospital, or you're just grief-stricken. 

I also don't like the rule that people aren't allowed to speak for you if you have to go MIA for whatever reason. 

As an example: Yosh and I are dating. So, if I say, lost my internet for months, he'd be the only one in our group to know. He'd [i]have[/i] to speak for me. 

I don't know how close Merlin and Grin are, but say something happened with either of them, and the other was the only one who could tell us?

Yes, I am taking these rules literally, because they should be worded to avoid people who would [i]actually[/i] take them literally.
