While I ain't in favor of kicking anyone so swiftly, it's also been years since last I've seen a group campaign with no early dropouts at all. Better to reward those that stick around, though I can understand you wanting to encourage activity over all.<br/>Sometimes the chemistry just doesn't fit or you don't get a proper feel for the character. But the housekeeping allows us to easily keep track of this, so you could etherialize folks that've been gone for two, and if for example, someone doesn't reply to three DM posts in a row(which would be almost ten days), or perhaps four out of five it'd be clear they can not, or want not participate further, with perhaps some additional leeway if people give note of being oocly busy.<br/><br/>*shrugs* my approach either way.
