@ delay stuff, I dunno. I get that real life issues can get in the way and it trumps that of rps, but it's still really frigging annoying when someone says they'll make a post by a certain date or whatever, and then don't. Or they make promises to post again and again in an extended period of time and then just... don't. I'd rather an rp had a clear posting frequency displayed that every player including the GM strived to achieve or that it was made clear from the outset from the posting requirements, expectations and availability of players are before the rp starts. Sure, some players may be impatient, but some people also expect others to be ridiculously patient to absurd lengths of time. I was once in an rp where the GM vanished for periods of a month to six months, or one player would post twice a year. Shit was ridiculous and not really surprising I would think that I would choose to eventually quit.
