Please be considerate when you apply for a game. Ask yourself if you have the time and energy required to add it to your line-up of life. Each GM will have specific requirements, but a good rule of thumb is that you should be able to post 2 or 3 times a week, and stay caught up with the story. In a game with a fast pace, or players who like to write a lot, that can easily add up to several hours a week. We're always understanding of real life commitments, and real life always comes first! ...but we do ask that players realistically consider their game commitments, do their best to meet the expectations that the GMs set and do their best to communicate with the GM when real life makes participating difficult or impossible.
