It kind of irritates me when someone that I am roleplaying with just won't post. I send them a reply, and see that they're online, but they won't post back. I understand people are busy with other roleplays, but still.. It hurts Miss Sin. D:

I've had a lot of people do that to me. I don't get it. If you're busy, just say something. >_<

How long's it been since they've posted? I know that sometimes I come online to see what's happening, check out whichever RP's im in, and catch up with the latest developments.

It's not unheard of for me to read through everything and log off without typing a word. Later that day I'll come back, having given the ideas time to percolate in my head, and blitz out a couple thousand words in an hour.

Course, if you want them to post, send them a PM. Dont beg, dont harry or chastise, dont irritate them, just ask, in a nice friendly tone, why they havent posted lately. We all have lives after all. Not everyone sits in front of the screen waiting for a new post, and sometimes people just forget.
You know the goal. You know the path. The only thing that can stop you now is complacency. Go take what's yours.

It happens to me all the time, unfortunately. I reply to something and see them constantly online but they never make any moves to reply. I don't always understand what's going on, and for one reason or another, it does kind of bug me. I have learned that if they do that and reply at some point during the day in question it's still pretty much alright. If more than two days go by and still nothing, I'd PM them.
