Please do not take this statement as maliciousness on my part:

I hope that everyone who fought me to get rid of deadlines and the like is making the most of all this extra time.

It's very hard to convey the sincerity in that remark.  I'm happy so long as this extremely slow pace is allowing for the desired characterization that drove the lobbying.  I would just be disappointed if this wasn't the case.

I think the lobbying for more time was in situation when people had full and complete control over where there characters went and what was happening. Like a weekend adventure or some such. I think it was unfortunate that the petition for less deadlines came just as a mission was approaching because I think self contained events like the missions, combat classes and such, things that will only affect those that participate in them should be regulated in order to keep the RP moving. It's when there's an after school moment and a number of characters are cooking something up and it gets timeskipped over that problems start to arise. I think we should start wrapping up the missions within the next two or three weeks. You really can't tell me that after all this time you actually need more than that to finish whatever is going on.
