Please let your group and me know if you will be gone for more than 24 hours, either because you know it beforehand already (vacation, business trips, etc.), or to give an update due to an unplanned leave of absence once you know that your posting will be delayed (if you are sick, please try and take the 30 seconds to give us this info). This is especially important during combat encounters, when daily posting is a must under normal circumstances!

Thanks a lot in advance! It will go a long way if you are considerate and respectful of the time that other players will have to wait for you in such cases, so I hope a quick post in here is not too much to ask.

I'm sorry guys, my parents are in town for thanks giving and I've spent most of the last couple of days with family. I'll post as often as I can in the next couple of weeks, but I'm most likely going to prioritize spending time with family.

I'm sorry everyone, but I'm afraid I have some bad news.

I had a doctor's appointment this afternoon due to abdominal pain and it turns out I have to visit the hospital rather soon to be on the safe side. As this is rather unpleasant and I would like to take care of this before the upcoming holidays, I'll have to leave and won't be able to update here for a while. I cannot promise when exactly I'll be back, hope it's just a week or so, but I completely understand if this is too uncertain for some and you prefer to look elsewhere for a different game in the meantime. No hard feelings.

I know it's bad timing (when is it not?), but it cannot be helped. Thanks for understanding and hope to talk to you soon again!

Dear Aenarion, so sorry to hear this, I hope you get well soon.
RL comes first as always, and health even more so!
In a few months here I’ve found you one of the best GM I’ve had in 15 years of rpol (and I’ve had a few!), so I’ll selfishly stick around for as long as it takes for you to get better (and back!)
Take care, we’ll read you soon.

Sorry to hear that, and I'll be praying for you.  I hope all will be well soon & I'll be hanging around for your triumphant return.
