Alrighty, I'm done with my post.
By saying that Character A breathed/blinked, the character did something. Thus, because words are written, the idea exists, thus it has substance. In this sense, it is substantial. In an informal sense, substantial can mean "in a large amount, size or number," or "ample to satisfy or nourish," to inadequately fit the context of where you used it, but I was adhering to the strict derived definition of the word, "consisting of or relating to substance" in order to be sarcastic and (hopefully) witty.
You are confusing meaning with existence. Had you substituted, "meaningful" for every "substantial" in your previous post, it would have been sound logic (albeit stating the obvious). It would be easy for a creative or imaginative person to find meaning behind actions like breathing or blinking outside of any context, but that's not the point.
The point is that I was sarcastically trying to encourage you to make your post so we could keep rolling along with the RP, not to entice you into a logic duel of wit and banter.

Lore, this is what you said: "For my part, there are only two actions I can imagine our undead Spiderman fellow capable of doing at the present, neither accomplishing anything substantial to warrant a post."
I was being sarcastic and saying that it is impossible for a character to not accomplish anything of substance by the definition of "accomplishment." So long as you write a post about what your character does, it is substantial.
I edited my post to account for yours, but I left room in case you wanted Hai to talk more before Zimmy hobbles off to his room.

I'd prefer if you wouldn't do it again, but it's not a deal-changer. If you don't know for sure if you won't be able to post for awhile, at least tell me if you 'think' you might be leaving for an extended period of time. That way I'm not eagerly checking the subscriptions page in vain.
I'll try to make a post by Saturday.

We definitely don't need to exclude Deja. I think it'd be great to have a human bard in the group, especially considering how Zimmy is the only actual support-type character in the group, besides half of Lin. Plus, a human would create social-interaction-related situations which would normally be ignored or underplayed(that is, if I can stereotype interactions like that).
That said, Sola is the GM and he said that Joe filled the last slot in a post on page 6. It takes us enough time just to get through a posting cycle with the five of us, even with Lord not posting. If he's fine with the extra hassle of an extra person, great, if not, its justified.

Edited: I think I know why it double posts now. After my first post, which was thirty minute ago, the screen went totally white. Just now, when I refreshed the page, it says that I posted the same thing again just moments ago. +1 for statistical analysis, now all we need are 999 more tests or a html programmer who knows what [s]he's doing.
As for Joe, I hope he meant this coming Saturday, at the latest, and not last Saturday, at the latest. After all, the vagueness of his post permits any Saturday to be, "up by the latest." As for you, Lore, "nothing substantial" means that your post has no substance, so give it substance by making a post where your character does something. As for Deja, I think Joe beat you to the last slot, although maybe you could show up later if one of us dies.
In any case, I think we should wrap up the tavern shenanigans in the next two post cycles. Grommy is already sleeping, so Lord is probably bored out of his mind by now, being forced to read our narrations without the right to write his own. On to Zimmy:

I already gave my excuse - I'm waiting for Nyan and Lore.
