Relevant to the game: 

What do you guys think about a rule that goes something likeeeeee....

'If you do not post in X amount of time your character will be subtly puppet-ed along by other players or GM so that the scene can move along. That way if people get wrapped up in life the character takes no consequence, but, the others can continue the scene.'

Likewise, maybe a rule that is like... if you have not posted in X amount of time you are defiantly MIA and your character may or may not be eaten by the dragon.
