Agreed about the time limit. I thought I mentioned that when I first agreed to run it that I preferred regular posters. What I find odd is that Melkor originally posted the idea to run the game... And you're right, I did miss Galethorn's post as well. I had miscounted when I was checking.
So here's the deal. Starting now, barring a post that you will be out/gone/passing into oblivion/etc., I have a limit of three days between posts. If we are in combat and you miss that, I will NPC your actions for that round, usually being something similar to the prior round depending on circumstances. If we are not in combat, after three days, an inquiry will be made and subsequent NPCing out of the story as the story flows, allowing for new/alt PCs to enter as necessary.
Though I am not new to roleplaying, I am not a veteran of PbPing and after looking at the styles of the more successful DMs on this board, I think that is a fair ruling. What do you guys think?
As far as the round goes, I'm going to try to finish it before I head to work. My Xbox game ran long this morning and I hadn't had time to update this game yet... Wish me luck.... If not, I promise to finish it tonight when I return from work (around 9:30pCST).
