I don't want to sound like an incredibly picky tyrant or anything, but I do like knowing my mod posts are read and that's the reason for this rule.
As this is only one post, it is not yet a warning and as long as you've replied to the second post (which you all have, save for Mel who is only just coming back from hiatus and thus exempt from posts made previously) you're safe.
There will be a plot post going up today for the week starting today. I apologize for it being late, and there will be nothing for today specifically that you missed. For those of you in game before, a lot of the plot events will be repeated, though much more slowly than they had been the last time around.
