I think its more of a problem of losing interest with rper than the problem in the rp. 

We already did like two time skips and we kept on losing people, I dont think another time skip would help. The next day would mean to jump over all the possible fighting and interaction with a bad guy who just beat on a child. I mean I cannot see why its hard to formulate a post. Even if it is just reacting to the events happening around one. Does no one from our crew would react by calling the bad guy out or attack him to save the child? Or wonder whats going on? 

Lets try the role call and then restart the thing with people who plan to stay and post.


We should discuses which position we should ask for too in the smaller crew.
Captain
First mate /gunner
Cook

are the taken one.
