Just because there exists a maximum timeframe of how long you have between posts does not mean you should always use the full extent of it. I can sympathize with being preoccupied with real life, that I take no issue with for the most part, but when you always respond after being prompted constantly that your "Post is coming, soon!" then fail to deliver, always awaiting the final deadline, there is an issue. Likewise, I can understand that some Game Masters are more willing to put up with such behavior than others, but I am not; my patience can only wear so thin and I see excuses as little more than that - excuses. The argument of "advance the story anyway" does not work when others too will not budge, trying to provide more grace than is due.

It is one thing to waste the time of say, another person, but several others? Frustrating. Some of us do legitimately look forward to our limited time off to roleplay, write and be generally creative. College I can understand being "busy", but it has nothing on some of the work conditions others of us put up with on a routine and even prolonged, at times random basis. I have said it before, but if I am away for days - even a week at times - from the internet and in the middle of the wilderness, still managing to find time to write when not working, I am fairly unforgiving for it being a stock reply.

Correct yourselves.
