[QUOTE="Shapermc, post: 835224, member: 9007"] Well due to the nature of the Beast (PbP gaming that is) it can be hard to tell if we are waiting at a point in the game because there is something important to find or discuss, or because we have not decided to move on (because conversations can take a week that would normally take no more than 5 min). In the situation of the later I think that the GM/Keeper has a duty to almost PUSH the story along. It is like walking your dog, do you let it sniff the ground for a half hour when you know that nothing is there, or do you pull on the leash and continue on your walk. You as the GM have the leash, sometimes you need to pull on it (take controll of our PC's and move us to a more productive area. If you feel like things are getting stagnent in a conversation or in searching make a post something like "If no one has anything else to do I will move the plot along. If no one posts by this time to morrow we will move on." Then do it. Aside from that all is really great! I loved that picture :D [/QUOTE]
