Just as an FYI for everyone - I tend to go with a 14-day turnaround on posts, giving everyone a chance to get a post in before the next GM post. 
If you miss out, you'll be 'elastic banded' to be with the rest of the group; having assumed to be there all along. 
If you drop out, then reality will be - as much as possible - retconned to be that you were never there - based on experience with other RP's where making a plot point out of it utterly derailed and delayed things. 
If you don't post with no answers or explanations for it after two or three rounds and me asking you about it, then you'll be assumed to have dropped out as well.
