@Jedly Posts are counted from your last post date. If your timer is starting to run up and an update has not yet been posted, you've got a few options:
1) Message Blue to ask for the outcome of your action, and post then anyways
2) Write some internal dialogue. As Lady Amalthea, a prominent GM on the site, always says: write anything. Write a flashback. Write about something silly, even a fart would work. You only need two paragraphs for a post. You can definitely have your character, in the midst of battle, have a flashback to perhaps a time in their life when things were simpler. Maybe they're pondering about what's going on in the real world. Maybe they're remembering why this is important, that they need to get home.
Blue and I will discuss your concerns, but for now, this is how it is.
