It's clear to me that this RP is at a bit of a standstill right now. Normally, my first instinct would be that I am to blame for not doing a good enough job as GM (though I won't completely disregard that as a potential factor), but looking at the situation objectively, I think a large part of it is that several key players have had less time to post lately due to distractions and obligations in real life (which is completely understandable), leaving players who had been in the middle of interacting with their characters having little to do.
I'm hoping that most of the people who are busy in real life right now will have some free time soon, allowing us to proceed with the RP. I was still wondering, however, if there's anything I could do as GM that would help to move things along. Would it do any good if I raised the limit for the number of alloted posts per day per player, so that less frequent posters could have longer exchanges with other players on occasions when they had plenty of free time for posting?
I suppose it might also be good to know who's still participating in the RP, and how regularly they think they'll be able to post. I'm hoping to have fewer instances of two players' characters starting a conversation, which ends up being left hanging because one player isn't sure whether the other is just taking a long time to respond, has forgotten to post, or has left the RP altogether.
So, can I get a show of hands, please?
Who's still playing, and how often do you think you'll be able to post? (Every day, every weekend, once a week, as often as whoever you're interacting with, etc.)
