Some sort of policy as Erich is suggesting sounds wise. For my own part, I'll certainly hold no grudge if the GM wishes to post for my character in order to keep things moving. Unless the actions taken are truly grossly out of character I'd rather the momentum were maintained in the event that I'm unexpectedly unable to write.<br/><br/>Keeping communication lines open is also crucial. I find that some degree of socializing and kibitzing in the OOC thread tends to help keep people involved.
