Now waiting on Ayame, Dahlia and Leela before I post again. No rush though, we still got slightly over half a week left. ^^

I know I said "No rush", but waiting until the very last minute each week is cutting it close guys...
Risqueboots hasn't logged on their account for almost a full week now, so I'm not sure whether they're still active or not. I've tried both VMs and PMs, but no reply as of yet.
Other than them, Vertigo still needs to post something.
I'd like to clarify any misconceptions about the weekly posting requirement, just in case anyone is unclear on how it works:

You are required to post in the IC at least once a week. This means, any day between Monday to Sunday. If you post on Thursday one week, you don't need to post before or on the next Thursday after, you can post on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, just as long as you post something the next week. This means the earlier you post, the more time you'll have before you need to post again.

I'd also like to remind everyone that if you're having trouble posting, be it being busy, having writer's block, losing interest or any other such thing; Please contact me and tell me about it before the deadline expirse. Once the weekly time-limit is up, I won't really care what you have to say - I've given this notice before and if people cannot be bothered to take the time to inform me that they're unable to post for whatever reason, then I honestly don't see why I should be patient and understanding towards those who cannot even be bothered to make the effort to inform me of why they are unable to participate.

Sorry if that sounds harsh or something, but I personally feel it's a fair way to deal with this kind of thing.

I'll be posting tomorrow regardless of what happens, right after I get home from work. Anyone who has missed the deadline by then will be booted and their spots made vacant for new applicants.

I'm working on a post. As I wrote in my status, I've been away for the weekend until my guests leave. (It's Sunday, but they're still here, so only able to start writing today as opposed to yesterday, though.)

In general, I usually post any delays or mia messages in my status, so that people in all my rps can see them at once, without me having to spam every individual topic every time. It's worked out so far, and keeps the OOC less cluttered.

With that said, if you'd prefer, I can also post the same info here or in a VM too whenever applicable.

"STATUS: guests coming over once more, but i'll be able to post on saturday. will catch up everywhere then!"

"i'll be able to post on saturday."

But it's sunday, unless you're in a time-zone that's 24 hours behind me... I don't mind you informing people about your status through your personal status, but I don't always check my players' profiles every day. Espeically since the time alotted for posting is so generous, I usually feel that people have more than enough time to respond to the thread.

So, personally, yes - I would prefer you either post in the OOC, send me a VM or a PM, after all - we have a PM convo specifically set aside for this RP. But I'm not going to force you to do so, since I have no way of actually enforcing such measures. :P

As long as you post within the week, I'll be happy. I just made the previous post to clarify any misunderstandings about how the posting-requirements work, and what I would like people to do in case soemthing comes up or they are having issues otherwise. None of that matters as long as you post every week though.

If you felt that that the previous post was targeted at you specifically, I promise that it wasn't. It was meant as a general clarification and announcement to everyone.

Yeah, I acknowledged that today is Sunday, as you can see:

You don't really need to check players' profiles, actually. There's a status message under the icon, which says when it was last updated. If you hover over it, it shows you the status message. But yes, I can also VM you from now on as I said, it's no problem.

I didn't feel it was targeted at me specifically or anything, but you did say "everyone", and since I'm part of everyone, I updated you on my own situation.

Sadly, on account of my poor eyesight, I actually have to view profiles to check things - because I need to ctrl+scroll to enlarge text in order to read it properly. This, of course, you likely had no idea about and is something I should've mentioned earlier. :<

Good, good, then we're all clear and square and good and stuff. Ugh, working tomorrow is going to suck... Weekends are too short.

Post all done! Ayame is--- so not enjoying her day so far, ha. But I am.

Also apologies, I didn't know about your eyesight! I figured maybe you hadn't noticed the status thing, since it initially took me a while to notice as well. On that note, I usually use the silver color for my posts, but if it makes reading more difficult due to the lack of contrast, let me know and I'll drop it.

Unfortunate announcement:

I'm sad to say that Risqueboots is, as of today (September 9th) no longer a part of this roleplay. It's been over 14 days since their last post in the IC and they haven't logged onto their account for 6 days. Even prior to their disappearance, I sent both VMs and PMs asking if anything was wrong - to which I received no reply. I don't know if they've had some kind of accident in real life, if they joined too many roleplays and got burnt out or merely lost interest in this particular forum altogether. What I do know is that I'm sad to kick them out, as I did enjoy the character Leela quite a bit, but sadly I've been more than generous with their time-limit. I was hoping that when I got back from work today, I'd see a little post or message from them, I even took a nap and had dinner in hopes that extending their time would give them an opportunity to show up and explain themself.

Sadly, that is not the case ad as such, we're going to have to lose our first player to inactivity. It sucks, I know, especially since Risque was one of the first people who expressed interest in this roleplay when I made the interest check. I hope they'll come back to RPGuild at some point, maybe then we can find out what happened. But until then, we now have a vacant spot in the roster and will begin accepting new applicants that show up or are interested.

If you know anyone who might want to give this a try, let them know. Otherwise, if nobody shows up, we'll just have to keep going with the four of us.

Oh nooo, Ayame, what have you done!

I should probably wait for OwO and poor Dahlia before my next post. I apologize in the fox's stead.

And... I really hope nothing bad has happened to Risque, and that she will come back eventually.

If the RP's open for a new slot, mind if I join then? The elusive Danmachi RP that does not insta-die escapes me thus far.

I was going to VM, but ran out of characters to type, dangit, so doing it here instead.

So! I'll be traveling for the rest of the month, starting tonight. I'll see if I can get an occasional post out still, but it is very likely that I won't always manage that on time. Worst case scenario, I can't post before I'm back. I'll be back on the 1st of October and can resume regular posting then, though.

I was going to ask if Ayame could be made an NPC for that duration? Since I don't want to hold the rp from progressing, but also can't promise for sure to be able to post on time.

I've read through Triss Honeyforge's character sheet. I see no problems with it and will contact you with the details about his stats and skills, as well as how to proceed after that.

EDIT:

Thank you, Vertigo. Very good of you to let us know. Of course Ayame can be made into a somewhat background-ish NPC for the time you're away, free to pop up whenever you got the time to make an actual post. So don't worry, you just focus on your trip and we'll see you again in October. :)
