OK, I'd like to get this game going at a decent pace, especially since we have an encounter coming up.  Towards that end, everyone has until Sunday midnight to post their response or say 'I pass' (explanation not required, just an explicit statement that you pass).  Anyone who does neither will be skipped and given a strike.  Three strikes will result in you being removed from the game.  They will be removed at the end of an encounter or if you have a valid explanation, like a medical emergency or a family crisis.  I won't give strikes to people who pass, but waiting on people and wondering if they have nothing to say or if they're just too busy to post is really pissing me off.
