Agreed.

[Timeless Bob]

Agreed.

Seconded.

[wickys]

number 27 here!

I'm still here

[mastahcheese]

Agreed.

Seconded.

I can go with this.

[StLeibowitz]

Sounds reasonable.

[mastahcheese]

So who's turn is it?

[Glloyd]

HugoLuman is up, I'm going to message him right now and let him know to use my save file.

[TD1]

Oh, okay. Sorry, I guess? I procrastinated on the write up a bit because there was no activity on the thread. This school year is harder than I thought it would be, so been a tad busy. If it's not too much bother, could I get my name at the end of the list? I'd like to have a proper go at it.

Agreed.

Seconded.

Thirded. Despite being part of the problem.

[WillowLuman]

Jeez, this is coming in the hectic first weeks of the semester. We might want to ask who in the first dozen has HS/college right now, then ask if they want to reschedule their turns.

It seems like we agreed upon some form of first come first served in the original thread.  Top-most person available gets a turn, no PM needed.

He's doing the "PM" thing because 2-ish people who had previous turns left it in limbo then said - "oops, forgot..."  So a more proactive strategy was implemented by the current thread host.  Personally, I'd give everyone a three-day limit to post that they've downloaded the save and a 1-week timer from that to post the save file once again or be automatically skipped.  Updates are certainly nice during the week, but RL comes first and it's been my opinion that it gets a priority.  If my week has me busier than anything and has kept me from doing anything much in the game four days into my week-long turn, I'd pass it to the next guy anyway and ask to be put at the end of the turn list, so I don't burn the entire week of everyone else's time without any progress being made on the game. To me, that's just being respectful of other people's time and polite, but that's just my take on things.  Posting an update, even if its a simple one-paragraph every two days lets people know that I haven't been hit by a truck and am unable to finish my turn due to coma (or something). 

Incidentally, I'm not in school, so I'm as busy (or not) as I usually am.

I'm not in school either; University doesn't start until March, and I wasn't studying this year.

Whoops, I totally forgot. I literally have not thought about this thread once. Sorry. I'll give up my turn, I guess. Alternatively, I can start working on it at this very moment, if that's preferable.

Edit: If you're having serious issues with people responding, try editing the thread icon so it stands out a bit more. Also, maybe send a PM ~24 hours into the person's turn if they haven't posted anything?

Well it appears that HugoLuman won't be able to go right now, so yes, you can start working on it. We've reverted to an earlier save: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=9812

Please post some sort of update within the next two days or you will be skipped.

Sure! I'll post something tomorrow. For real, this time.
