Actually now that I recall, some of us did guess it was the hurricane back then... well glad you still live.

Hey everyone.

So I had to rethink a few things over before making this post but... well, it feels like we've been having trouble lately as a RP group. Some of you have been really good with getting out materials (and you have my sincere gratitude) and others have at least been communicative with me on how you might be absent for a bit. The thing is, I'm just not sure what's going on with everyone else. And I really hate talking about this because it puts a bad taste in everyone's mouth and we are all just here to have fun. However the thing is... we can't move forward without working together as a group. I really love this RP and everyone's characters. I really do, I think it's the most amazing set of players and characters I've seen to date. And that, at least to me, holds a lot of meaning. So it's especially sad that I have to mention it like this.

It's always hard balancing our times, I feel it a lot too. We've all got so many diverse things we put our time into and priorities over other things definitely are part of our lives. And needless to say, our hobbies (or even among our hobbies) can sometimes fall behind on the "to-do" list. But at the same time, we've all made a commitment here. Not necessarily to me (hell, I'm not even playing the game) but by investing your time into it by making astounding characters; their backgrounds, personalities, styles, charisma, etc. I'm sure you were all excited writing your character and imagining them in our world. It's our world because we've built it together. But, perhaps more importantly, we've made investments into each other. It's like playing boardgames with your friends; if you won't take your turn, others can't go. And no one is playing then.

So... I'll be frank guys. I'm rather unsure at this point how to move on. I've tried communicating, I've tried setting rules down, making sure everyone knows... the thing is the speed of the RP matters less than the fact that I'm trying to hold it together. Perhaps I was being too optimistic when I was hoping for 2-posts-per-week. It was my understanding that every would be aware of that since it was part of the rules. Perhaps it's my fault for not making it clear enough. But the pattern I see here is fairly frequent; people don't post on time, I go ask for posts, people post much later than scheduled, others are waiting... etc etc. You get the picture. And I honestly really hate asking people to post because it's... unfun. For everyone. Like I said above, we are all here to enjoy ourselves, not choke ourselves on responsibilities. The point of RPing altogether (in my opinion at least) is to detach ourselves from stressful reality to enjoy fantastic worlds and elements. Defeats the whole purpose if we feel stressed about the game.

I would really appreciate it if everyone can at least try to communicate on here what's going on and how we might be able to fix this. Only way to make it work is if we do it together. Meanwhile, folks who have NOT posted this week and NOT talked to me about it, I'm gonna have to throw down a warning. My apologies for the brick-wall of text.

@HueMan

So I know I ghosted for like 5 months but if you want an idea, here is my two cents. It's how I used to handle my dnd play by posts I used to DM for.

Make a post every three or four days that moves the plot and anyone who hadn't posted at least once in that time frame gets auto moved. For example, in a fight Person A is calling out commands to B, C, and D. B and C post bit D doesn't by the time you put out the boss post. In the fight summary, it'll read "Person D auto attacks for (whatever value)." If this happens repeatedly with the same people, discuss with them privately. People may be more willing to discuss it in private instead of in the OOC maybe.

In the event it isn't a fight, they go chill in the in or they stay quiet during a travel scene. This way the game keeps moving for those who are in a position to post regularly.

Of course, this system assumes the person didn't tell you anything before hand.

I think it is a fair solution to, as @Achronum said, move things along if a person hasn't posted within the time frame. I think it is fine if someone is unable due to make a proper but they, in failing to do so, forfeit any special interactions they might have had in that event.

I feel @Achronum's suggestion is fair. We've all been informed of the rule. Up to now you have been more than patient with us, @HueMan, maybe enough to spoil us, even. Especially during combat posts, where Reylan has already shouted out orders for everyone, I wouldn't feel wronged if you posted for me because I failed to do so in a timely manner.

For my part, I will be more communicative during the week. Staying on the Discord takes hardly any time, really. And to be fair, sometimes it would be healthier for me to take a short break and chat with y'all.

Hmm... I do like this suggestion. As Ithradine has said too, it is indeed a fair solution. I'll think about this a little more but as of now, I am leaning rather heavily on this suggestion.

@Jangel13@TaroAndSelia

You guys already told me that you are not gonna be able to post on time this week so at least you were communicative - which is totally fine. Was gonna autopilot you guys anyways.

Hello yall.

Just in case everyone was not aware, I posted the link to our imgur pic collection in the CS tab. Below example CS.
Even tho they may not be exact pics (how could they be) if you wanna use them for visual aid on your materials in order to improve immersion (or save writing descriptions hahaha), please feel free to.
If there are any pics you wish for but can't find on imgur, send me the pic and I'll upload it there so we can reliably re-use it in the future.
