I have not heard from several players for a while now. I try to limit players in the game to active newcomers and/or interested individuals who can post once a week. I typically remove any who are inactive/idle for over 2 weeks, but they are always welcome to contact me and rejoin the game if they get time and the desire to play.
That said it is the holiday season so will not be removing any players till after the new year. However I do not want stories with multiple players to stall due to one or more inactive player. I do try to keep in touch with each of the stories but tend be be reactive and only post after a player does so. Therefore if you are in a story and it is not keeping up with a pace you want just PM me or post OOC in the story. On the other hand if you are still active but do not have time to play in this game just speak up and I can sideline characters as needed.
This game is public and shared so it does add a bit of confusion. Be aware of the thread that your story is in and you can identify post that are new based on its title. Some players have trouble with this and I can isolate those threads to help them only see their portion of the game. Others enjoy reading everything and some just ignore stuff they are not involved in. Let me know if you find the multiple stories distracting and we can talk about how to manage it.
Ok, back from end of year break and I will be checking and responding to posts at my regular pace, about daily, once again. I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays and is ready for the new year.
