Er...
Well. I have something to say. This is a personal statement, and it is not directed at any one person.
There are not many things that ruffle me, and I try to be considerate of other players, but I also expect other players to be considered too. When people go inactive in the middle of live threads (actual player interaction, not the journals) with no warning, explanation, or attempt to at least make a way for others to work around the absence plot-wise, it really bothers me. Not to mention the fact that when this happens it catches up other people's thread counts (which are limited to two, remember, not a lot of wiggle room there), and so in turn everything that they're doing must freeze also.
If people are gone for a couple of days, announce hiatus, whatever, I'm cool with that, but when people get left hanging for a week, or even a month, I'm not okay with that. At least let the other people in the thread know what's going on. Please. Pretty please? Because we're otherwise powerless to create plot from that thread and move on.
All I'm asking for is communication.
I love this game, and I love all the players. I really have fun here. I just thought I would throw this out because it's really be aggravating me lately, and I would rather be proactive than stew in my own juices over it.
