If you're in the game, and are worried about hurting my feelings, first find the honest answer and then keep with that and let me know in the most patient and then kind way you can what you really think. Two examples are these:

1. You don't want to see group 0 content.
   
   • Just ask me to remove you from group 0, and we'll move the game proper to group 1 and anyone that wants to see it, from a visitor stance, can ask to lurk.
   
   
2. You don't want to participate in the game any longer.
   
   • Really, just decide if it's now or never. If it's truly just now, then I'll keep you in the game. If you're looking for an excuse. You don't need one. :) Seriously. You don't need a reason. If you want to give one, that's appreciated, but you can just say it's slow, or not what you expected, or doesn't have enough action, or has too much combat; or just you don't like my version of canon. No reason is fine too. :) If, however, you are just busy; new child, new event, death in the family, new job, lost job, et cetera; just let me know you need some time. It can be weeks, months or years. I've kept people in my very longest running game for ten years and I'd see them log in but never post. That's fine!

My text etiquette will be all over the place. Please excuse it if you can, or ask for clarification if you need to.

I will have...

• typos
  
  • including one common "quirk" of repeating the same word, replacing one word for for a second iterative of another word, and just entirely omitting words. This is just how my neurological disorder manifests.
• also have long-written words; such as saying "a Hundred and Twenty Seven" instead of 127. It depends on how the text is being inserted. Be it dialogue or innumerable amounts, versus those discretely cardinal (or ordinal).
• Finally, use abbreviations when not in game proper threads. ATM is my current usage, but as time goes on that may fall off, and another habit replace it. I don't see any reason I would want to put that in narration or dialogue. So call me on it if, in the event, I do let it slide into the proper.
