Holas everyone!
I'm okay. Sorry for not posting for Don's scene and the church scene yesterda but I had no response to Don and Ken and didn't feel like forcing a post. Normally I would try to push on regardless but doing so nearly every single day for over a year has made it difficult for me to persevere doing so all the time. That's not to say that I won't ever move things on when people aren't able to post but I have to admit I'm less inclined to do so these days, especially when I don't have anything to work with. :S This also killed my mojo with the church scene as well to a degree but the main reason I didn't for that scene is because- like Tae said, the church scene is basically done/ahead of the others and I'd rather take a break from that for a day then to push things forward and sit around and do nothing but filler for a couple of days.
Sorry for not posting in the ooc about this (didn't notice I didn't post in the ooc yesterday at all, actually :0) but I didn't want to say that I'm waiting for other people to post, because I don't like putting pressure on others. Although it also demonstrates why consistent posting is important because not posting has knock-on effects. Last week was okay since it was exam hell for everyone and I'm totally fine about that, but I still hope that from now on we can get more consistent daily posting from everyone.
That's not to say that people missing a post is the end of the world. If people are busy with sickness, illness or on holiday, and depending on the scene and specific circumstances etc then I'll try to do what I always have and push things on in peoples' absences (I don't want people to feel compelled to post when they are absolutely unable to), however like I said before I'm less inclined these days to try and force things on if I have nothing to work with. I think with seven players the rp can take two people missing a round to be okay with everyone else picking up the slack for them (again, dependant on scene and circumstances etcetc) however if we get a round where three or more people don't post then I'm not going to post either, because it just makes it hard to do so. Hopefully this helps improve commitment and dissuades non-posting a bit, idk? But the rp should be down to everyone to push forward. :)
I do appreciate the sentiments shown by everyone who have wanted to post and continue things despite me not posting yesterday, which is what everyone should do. I appreciate it like, a lot. I have the feeling that unless I post, the rp grounds to a halt and no one posts. Which is honestly not right and unfair on me, it puts pressure on me to post every single day without fail otherwise no one can post (I'm not sure if this sentiment is actually shared by others, but it's the impression I get). Everyone should be able to try and continue on if I can't post like I've tried when others have been unable. Honestly I suspect if I was to fall ill or go on holiday and miss posting for a bit the rp would just stop. Which is silly. XD
I'll catch up on the IC but I think I should be okay to post for all scenes. Depending on how things are I might be able to progress us all to the next major scene (highlighted by one of Don's bros racing towards one of the groups with information on Estelle and Josette) by tomorrow?
I hope everyone has a good weekend! I wish you the best of luck with your mum, Tae. ;A; I'm here to talk to if you need! Don't worry about not posting because I wouldn't be able to in that situation either D: I just hope things turn out okay soon ;w; *powerhugs*
My Saturday involves impending MOT failure. I can't wait for that.
I need to listen to Fox's musics :D But I'll drop a song as well cus musiiiiiiiics
Dat intro.
Also I played and finished Ground Zeroes yesterday. Even going super slow and taking my time I finished it in 90 minutes. What the flying fuck? Even as a pricecut prologue game what was the point of making this a release? Phantom Pain isn't even out until like, Late 2015.
Fucking Kojima.
