Working on a post. Just have a lot happening right now.
Well, Myrr has saved Akigatsu from getting brained by a thrown cast iron pot.
Edit: I'm cool with it. Can't expect people to wait for me when I'm still recovering lol.

Trying too. Pain meds and just pain in general make it a bit harder.
Working on something.

I know where you are coming from but from my perspective this is just not the right call to make. I’m not here to argue but sometimes you have to give people the benefit of the doubt rather than assume that people got sick of the game or are lazy. Communication can be improved on our part this is true but this is also a game where people are posting more consistently than others. Not perfectly on schedule but more consistent and that’s a lot more than I can say about a lot of games here on this site. Issuing warnings when people have mostly been consistent but now are waiting for others so they can contribute to the game does not contribute to a positive, creative environment. It alienates those who are trying to catch up and punishes those who have been giving them a chance to. Like when we got a Myrr post I was away from my home for hours and got home late after driving two hours through a blizzard. I didn’t even know there was a post until the next day when I was going to post and you posted your warning.
I would understand the warning if we haven’t been posting for a real long while but lulls happen even in the busiest of games. There are better ways to prod people to post, like letting them know you’re gonna move to the next scene and give us last calls to post because we certainly will post then, addressing an individual privately if they’ve really fallen behind, or just ride the lull out and have faith that your players are going to post and have a little bit leniency that they may not tell you everything all the time because they’re also human and make mistakes.
I can say for myself that I am enjoying the game a lot and hope it goes on. I’m not saying this to criticize or to be rude but to at least offer my thoughts on the matter because I don’t particularly see a problem that can’t be solved gently.

Early afternoon
Now there was a question. The dwarf arched his brow as he contemplated such a notion of taming a slime. "In the same way one could tame a slug I'd suppose," he said with a shrug. "They aren't exactly bright creatures, but keep one full enough that it doesn't eat through a pen then I suppose it would be fine." It was with great caution that he said that. Slimes were not exactly known as intelligent monsters, hell, he was not even sure if they had the capacity to form attachments.
"Assuming that the impurities are anything not metal," Brom pointed out. Then again, it was not like he was some monster expert either. Perhaps out there was a slime that with such a powerful acidic ability that it could eat away at impurities though not the metal itself. However, what he could say was that he never thought about milking a slime. "Milking a slime huh...?" His mind drifted off to a thought bubble when the image of a slime, but then it became pixelated when he thought about a slime having the parts of a mammal needed to be milked.
Brom swatted away the thought bubble quickly as if to erase it from memory. "That's an image I never wish to think of again." He muttered gravely to himself. Though at the very least the mental image of the milkable slime was replaced by the charming, if clumsy image of the elf herbalist stumbling forward before catching herself. The dwarf kept his eyes averted from hers, whistling to himself a tune though he for the life of him could not hide the corners of his mouth curling upwards ever so slightly.
However, his attention once again was brought to the slime trapped within the pot. The two of them were making the same assumption. "You are both assuming that I've never cooked a slime before," he said with a playful smirk. "It's gonna be a bit strange, but I know exactly how to get rid of the corrosive effects of the slime though it's gonna involve using the wood we just picked. Well, the by product of it. It'll be easier if I show you."
Was Brom playing purposefully vague? Yes, yes he was. Was he also playing this up? Also, yes. Was he having fun with it? Most definitely yes.
Eventually, the trio would arrive at the village with wood and slime in tow. "Hello everyone! What have we missed?"
That is true, but the issue is that not everyone has time to get on the site and say what's going on with their lives. I myself could've communicated better, but some people are genuinely very busy. Like on Wednesday I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed, all of them, and I'm heading to Australia in the beginning of March because I need to go help my family to sell my grandmother's apartment, remove the belongings, and do work on it like replacing carpeting and new paint. She's alive by the way, just going into an assisted living facility.
Dude, some of us are just trying to let others get in some posts too. Like I've had chances to post, but I don't want to make it even harder for people to jump in if they fall behind.
