Turnover will commence on the 10th as planned BUT:
GD4 will be a Free Day
The Missions (BFR's, Sabes, Mall Robbery, etc) of GD4 are being moved to GD5. I'll move the planning threads around in the Dayplanners/sub-forums.
We're going to start being tougher on posting. We're not going to enforce a mandatory Thread Cap (except for Time Jump) but we ask that players (and that includes myself) do a little self-capping if you're a slower poster or have had a sudden influx of Real Life interfering in your Happy Pretendy Fun Times.
If someone hasn't posted to a Mission/Fast Moving thread in 24 hours, they will be skipped or NPCed. (48 hours for non-Mission threads). If you find yourself stalled for more than 48 hours in a scene and your scene partner hasn't posted an absence, feel free to PM/Email them -- if you get no reply, contact a mod.
People who vanish without a word for one week will be getting a Strong Warning.
People who vanish without a word for two weeks are in danger of having their characters taken, no Limbo.
Habitual 'Vanishers' are in danger of being asked to leave the game.
If you don't have time for a scene/Mission and know you're a slow poster -- cap yourself. It's ok to say "no". It's also ok that if RL suddenly has you down, to ask to get out of scenes. Also, if someone asks to be let out of a scene because RL has them down, please be cool and realize they're trying to not stall you, not that they don't want to scene with you.
Edit: We're cracking down on stalling/mysterious vanishing. *whipcrack*
BUT: This applies to people who post and then vanish mysteriously without warning or word one. Not to people who just happen to be slower posters.
So, if you are a dozens-a-day poster, realize that not everyone can keep that pace, and if you're a slow poster remember that when planning your threads and don't bog yourself down in threads you know you can't keep up with. And remember, This is Happy Pretendy Funtimes, not a contest.
Now, go forth and Be Excellent to Each Other.
