As an FYI - I have put GrinNoCat on notice for the lack of posting. He's now eleven days in with zero contact, including any response to the multiple messages I have sent.
This game requires a minimum of 1-2 short posts per week, with posts consisting of more than "I attack the orc."
I fully understand that life happens. People have work issues, family issues, get sick, go on vacation, etc. All of the above are fine.
For reference: if at any point, something happens to prevent you from playing, just let me know. Post here. Send me a PM. Email me ([email protected]). Do something!
If you let me know, we will work something out. I can NPC your character for a specified amount of time (till quarter closing is done at work, till you get back fro vacation, till you feel better, etc). If you know that you cannot return in a reasonable timeframe, I can endeavor to find a new player for your character or write them out in a positive manner. No harm, no foul.
If, on the other hand, I don't hear from you, I will NPC your character for a very short while. After that, your character will simply take no actions for a short while. After that, I will either look for a replacement player or write your character out of the story entirely.
If we are in a town and it makes sense, I will usually find some reason that your character cannot continue on the adventure. If not, it really does not make sense for your character to just wander off; ergo, your chracter will likely die in battle or have a similar nasty fate befall them (remember - this **IS** a horror flavored game).
Please respect others enough to not simply drift off and quit playing.
