I just want to give my particular perspective on the issue, which I in no way mean as a rebuttal or counter-argument.First, when I'm asked to roll things like Perception checks, saving throws, certain kind of skill checks where the results of success or failure are not obvious in advance (diplomacy, bluff, etc) then I do not feel like I can make a -complete- post (ie - one involving full actions and dialogue) until the GM tells me the result of that roll. I don't think that's an unreasonable conclusion. If you'd like us to handle those types of rolls differently, just ask. I think I can honestly say we'd all like to work with you on these types of issues.Second, and I don't say this to be whiny or complainy, because I don't MIND, but there's a certain amount of time involved in making combat posts as things stand. The character sheet must be looked up, which involves going to a whole other site (though I do appreciate the links on the first page of the thread...I hadn't seen those before and they DO expedite that step). Then the not-inconsiderable decision of what to do must be made. Then I have to go back to the last combat post and get the ministats...then wrap it all up in a post that is laden with sblocks. Since I do a fair amount of my weekday posting at work, taking 10-15 minutes to put a post together is, at times, not feasible. My options are to delay posting altogether...or put a post out that meets the minimum requirements. Neither option reflects a lack of commitment on my part to the game. Neither option reflects a lack of DESIRE to post. I apologize if I ever gave that impression.This is a great game and I don't want any failing on my part to endanger it. If you ever have issue with me or my posting, please feel free to contact me via email or PM. I'm sure any problem can be worked out.Thanks![/sblock]</blockquote>
