The 761-hour rule

By my estimate, that's how long it's been since the last post in the attack on Tammar - or if you preffer, a solid month. It's been 26 days since the last post in the attack on Kubindi, and even though I know I've slipped up and left a couple days between posts before, it just seems as though the whole war is dragging to a bit of a halt.

I am willing to wait, certainly, but not indefinetly. Can I even be sure there will be posts in the two Union attacks? What about the issue of Phage, which has always been difficult to tackle? Am I allowed to start writing about its' effects and my counter-measures, or do I have to wait until it's my 'turn' and someone's described its' effects, or something?

I understand everyone shouldn't have to build their scheduals around TRF and making time to post, but not posting at all is equally problematic, and it sometimes feels as though things have been downright forgotten or abandoned. In the days of the 72 hour rule, giving a few more days or even a week was seen as merciful, but I still remember Gash raging over a mere 160 or so hours, and the devastation that came after that.

I'm just looking for some assurances, and perhaps some evidence, that things will in fact still move forwards. Leaving things on neverending hold is a pain.

Just go ahead and post. Unless there's a thread somewhere stating that someone would be gone, but I don't remember that.

Oh well at least its better than the pre-72 hour rule when somebody would just be like. Ooh look, no posts in the thread today, guess I can post again.

This thread's a bit more general, meant to include people such as you and other BDE posters. I myself am defaulting in the Mon Calamari thread, but the issue we've been dealing with has not been satisfactionally dealt with, as far as I know.

There isn't an issue... we're going to work something out over AIM before I edit. There's no point arguing because you are actually pushing for a weaker position, and one which I am not of mind to refuse you.

It's been another two weeks without posts in either Union thread. I haven't heard from Estro since, and the last I heard of Brutus was now roughly a month ago. Can anyone suggest resolution here, or am I just going to have to wait in limbo? It's getting a little slow...
