Well this is just an opinion, as does everyone has them, and you can choose to listen to it or not to.
I've come to notice that, yes, there are those who are one much more than others. Not trying to be rude, by all means I am not, but shouldn't one wait and take turns in a role play with post wise instead of going on and leaving others behind to have to read and catch up?
This is why I took Videllia out of 'The New Family' role-play. It is a grand one, though I am sure it not only makes me, but Willow, feel out of the picture to an extent and left out. Is there some way that this not continue so others can happily role-play and keep in pace with others?
Again, an idea and opinion that you an take or leave.

I understand what you mean and I would suggest obtaining a posting order. You and the other role-players of the thread decide what order to post in and then you can't post until it is your turn again. See if that helps. Just let everyone know what is going on so no one gets confused. Hope that helps.

Yes, I can understand that. I try to wait for others, but it's hard when it's over a week for them to reply. But imagine that you come on every day, or every other day, and you are rping with 2 other people. You and 1 of the other person are there a lot, and yet you're waiting and waiting, and the other person doesn't come on. The board starts to die because of this. Also, the situation with Vidella is this: We told you that you could stay in, but you never responded. Feather and I were waiting and waiting. I just checked and it was 11 days in between when you posted. When you asked about taking Vidella out, I waiting for 6 days, and that was when Willow came in and we had to continue. If Willow hadn't come it, I would have waited a few days longer. I can wait 3 days, but when it starts getting to a week, then I become impatient. We got an idea for a little mini plot and figured since you weren't posting there'd be no harm and we'd get it over quickly. But the thing is, you sometimes have to be persistant about inserting your character. Whenever my character is left in the dust, which happened with one of Willow's posts once for me as well as other times, I was tempted to give up, but I kept going at it. Besides, if you looked at the most recent posts on the New Family post, you'll see that I have been trying to make a conscious effort of keeping Willow in the loop. I don't know what brought this opinion up right now, since I would think you would have brought it up when the issue was fresh. This is an old issue that I've battled with myself, long and hard about for about a month, before deciding that I had to make sure I reigned my rp eagerness in.
EDIT: Sorry if the post sounds defensive, but you really struck a nerve with me on an issue I've been struggling with since the beginning of the year. I hate leaving people out, but sometimes I get carried away when rping. So when I realized you were being left out, I felt wicked bad. So I waited... and waited... and still waited even though I was starting to lose patience. I felt like you had given up on us and there was nothing I could do. So I let the wound start to heal, and then you came along and ripped it right open again. I started to react with my teeth, but tried to curb them when I was typing. I don't know how successful I was though...
