I'm feeling like a butt doing this but I'm putting my big boy pants on and sucking it up T^T

To those who haven't posted in the last round:

[h3][color=firebrick][b]Absolute post deadline is for Friday the 9th.[/b][/color][/h3]

Our last major font of activity was three months ago. I really like our group and setup and we have had some extenuating circumstances for a few of our players at the same time, so I'm left wondering what to do. At this point, if a post isn't in by the end of the week I'm going to open [b]any of those inactive slots[/b] up to new players and set better guidelines for a posting schedule. Players who don't post will have their [b]characters moved to NPCs[/b] as we did for [@Duskshine749]. 

There is a short grace period whereby if you post between the end of the deadline and when we get that slot filled, then I'll just shunt you back over. I'd prefer it if you didn't rely on that, and just posted in the week, but I understand that I haven't set a post schedule before on this thread and I know alot is going on IRL. I know this might come across an unfair. I know it kinda sucks. But I do think it's for the best.

I am well aware I haven't handled GMing this well so far. A few unsure situations (like brainstorming previous adventures and coming up with a Party Name) have led to people being unsure of what to do and how to post and slowed it down. That's my bad. It may have been better to just sink y'all into the Dungeon and I'm hoping once we enter more structured play we'll find a better pacing.

I like my sessions to be relaxed but I think some better posting guidelines might mean people know what to expect a little better. Please feel free to @ or PM me with suggestions on how you think the RP or my GMing could improve as right now I am concerned that RP Death is a real possibility - hence why I'm doubling down. I really want to see this RP through and I'd love to do that alongside you guys.
