Frequency: I know that everyone gets busy and misses a day here and there, but it is expected that you post at least once a day under normal circumstances. If you don't think you will be able to post every day, you should consider a slower game. I try to update my games every day and if you are not able to keep up you will not be interacting with the story or with your fellow agents enough to earn your XP.
Posting Quality: Please try to bring your character to life! Play-by-post may be slow but it has the advantage over tabletop games in allowing players to give full descriptions of their characters looks and actions and it gives you the time to put thought into those descriptions and into the dialog you write for your character. Please take advantage of the medium and spice up the game with some description and dialog. Interact with your fellow agents. That's what role-playing games are all about! I should never ever see a post with just dice rolls; we are not playing Yahtzee! The out-of-character chatter should be kept to a minimum in the Gameplay thread.
I know it sounds harsh, but when I started implementing these rules guidelines, my games became much more enjoyable. The more you put into a game, the more you will get out. If everyone posts minimal description with dice rolls, the game will get boring really fast. If everyone makes an effort to write engaging posts, the characters will become more dynamic and the game will be much more enjoyable for everyone involved and your GM will be much happier.
Thank you!
Your friendly halfling Venture-Captain hops up on his stool and raps his knuckles against Ace's new bar to catch everyone's attention. "If I am not mistaken, we have a few fellow Seekers in this Lodge and I will need to speak with them urgently! It seems the Society is looking for agents with plenty of experience for a delicate matter in Thuvia!"
As the more experienced agents work their way through the crowded common room towards Trotter, the halfling calls out another announcement, "Now I haven't forgotten about our newer agents either! I'd like to give you some more experience in the field as well, so that you might one day be called Seekers too! It seems there is plenty to do in Thuvia so I'll be sending you along with a slightly different task."
Bah, I don't have a Seeker... yet. Working on Faldoc, as you know.
I'll try for this other one, though...
If you go to the 'parent' board of the gameplay, you can 'hide' the thread? (Little circle doohickey on the right.)
If you do it right, it will vanish. I did this last night for a PbP I wasn't in anymore.
As far as 'wrapping up', what was the resolution of the scenario, did it complete, did someone else run it, etc?
I have (as too many have experienced!) jumped in and helped a bunch of tabled finish up (some got dropped at the VC brief..!) and can confirm that the best solution for you is to send a quick email to customer service and ask for the thread to be closed. Takes a couple of days.
Sadly, as six weeks have gone by, I doubt you could salvage that group.

You'll probably get the delightful Cort looking after it for you in short order.

A slim, wiry woman dressed in baggy silk trousers and scarred leather armor enters the lodge, followed by a larger man. There is a family resemblance between them. The woman might be Katapeshi by her complexion, but rather than the black hair common to that region, hers is a burned copper red that almost seems alive. Her eyes are also a coal-red. Her movements are animated, and she's eagerly talking with her companion, while flipping a dagger in mid-air and catching it again.
"--so I told him where he could stick his contract, illustrated it with pictures, knocked out two of his guards, ran down the hallway, escaped through the window, landed on my feet, and won the admiration of the town and the love of a fawning populace," she rattles off. "What'd you do with your weekend, brother?"
Not really waiting for an answer, the plane-touched woman saunters to the board where missions are often posted, scrunching her nose up as she looks through the options.
I'm also recruiting for 07-21 The Sun Orchid Scheme for levels 1-5. You can sign up here. I will roll a lottery for winners some time in the next few days.
24 sign-ups in 9 hours. Well done, sir.

A lean man follows behind the copper-haired woman, baggy leggings slapping the door frame as he follows in her wake. Bright red hair and eyes like burning coal give away the family likeness.
"Always had to have the eye of everyone in the audience, didn't you Faiza?" Cinder sighs "I spent a week getting that job lined up. Now we have one more person to worry about coming after us."
"As for my weekend," he pulls out a small sack of coins, "there's a gym down the street, and when the students got wind of our last gig, they paid me for a few pointers."
He watches as his sister heads off to find a job and then heads off himself in search of a savory meal.

Belondia dropped his packs and barrel of his equipment next to a stool at the bar and took a seat upon it. He looked around the room, watching the hussle and bussle of all these Adventurers, coming back to missions and some being recruited and heading out to do their own jobs. Looks like he's found the right place for him.
"I'll take anything strong and fill it to the brim." He called over to the barkeep before turning to the closest table to him. "You guys heard of any beginners contracts? I'm looking to smash some undead"

"Hey man, before you go can I bum a light off you?""Sure," Ember said with disinterest, and dug out some flint and steel from her pack, which she used to light the scruffy man's smokeable. What, you were expecting something else?
"Thanks." Says the man. "A man can only abide for so long you know."
"Dude." The Dude says.

"Yeah, sure," Ember says in response to the bathrobe fellow, her attention already back on the missions postings. "Oi! Cinder! Get back over here, you can stuff your face later-- this one might do--!"
She snags a piece of parchment off the wall and squints around the room. "Hey dwarf!!"
She whistles sharply, and then waves her hand until Belondia looks over. She holds up the parchment. "Oi, you want to go into some crypt? Probably undead there by the name, right?"
She scrunches up her face, counting. "You, me, my brother, that's three-- we need some god-botherer for the fourth, and that's good enough for dinner and drinks, I'd think! Any takers?"
Cinder, Ember, Vigny and Belondia - Check in here, please!

"Yes, Grandmother. I understand, Grandmother..."
A somewhat uncomfortable tengu wearing mountain pattern armor strides in and looks around, sighing a bit.
"Grandmother Crow said there were some children that needed watching over and or helping out here, so if that's still the case, I'm here to help."
First steps part 1 is still re-playable. (I think parts 2 & 3 were retired though).
The Crypt module is also replayable, and normally I would offer to run more than one table, but I think I am at my limit right now.
Regarding space, it looks much better suited for 4 players, so I think I will limit to that for now. If things lighten up, though, I will get another table going.
