Due to the severe lack of posts this week, I won't be posting an update today. I'd also like to remind everyone that - apart from Rune-Alchemist who posted [b][i]today[/i][/b]  (which is very last minute) - the rest of you haven't mentioned or stated any reason or notice about being late for this round. Which, of course, means that anyone who hasn't said anything and hasn't posted in the IC will get a [b][u]warning[/u][/b]

I've said it before and I've mentioned in the first post of the OOC; If you're busy with RL or personal matters, I'm more than happy to give you more time to post or hold off on advancing things, but [b]you need to tell me about it.[/b] I get that sometimes we feel unmotivated, tired or like we don't wanna bother with things, but taking 2 minutes of one of your days from a whole week to log on and leave a message here or via PPM to isn't too much to ask I feel. You don't have to go into detail or justify why you need more time, just a note that you'll be late or something of that sort would do just fine.

I want to be a reasonable and fair GM who treats my players with basic understanding and patience. But taht can only happen if you talk to me. Whenever I have to make a post like this, I feel like I'm being a stingy, bitter old bastard who's cawing at people for being late and making them feel like I'm some heeartless, soulless machine, when that isn't the case or what I want to project at all. :(

So, in conclsuion, please, for both our sakes, don't feel like you can't ask for more time in the future if you need it. I guarantee I won't turn down a request to post later for whatever reason.
