Mini Hiatus

I'm just putting a small note out here that I'm going to be pretty scarce until after the 1st weekend in August.

So Recycled Art comments will be answered but just when I have time. You can post no matter what if your week is up. Just make sure to look over comments and everything else to ensure that you are not taking something that someone else has taken. Also if you want have back-up cards. So Say you want 3 cain03s, 2 world14... put underneath there what you would like in case those cards have been claimed. As I said this is only for a couple of weeks.

My biweekly games will be posted as usual but they may not be answered until the week after. I will have to see how much work I have to do by then so I have no clue right now.

Also please DO NOT trade with me at this time. I do not have time to update or anything else right now. I'll make another note here when my post is up to date and I"m ready to be traded with.

Thank you all for understanding and being awesome people.

I've said this aloud, but I'm posting it here to see if people agree with me, just because I think it's the best idea in the best interests of the entire community.

I think someone should cover RA for the two weeks+ that you're unavailable.

You're going to be gone for just over two weeks, but we still have a lot of stuff to focus on finishing, and on top of that you're going to be working. This means that RA comments might take that entire two weeks to get answered. In my honest opinion, I think you should take this time to focus on IRL for a bit, and leave RA to another mod just for the time being.

You were saying that you needed PoG to be covered next month anyway, so it wouldn't be too much trouble to make a post in the mod community asking both things at once. Things are pretty mixed up right now, but that doesn't mean you should feel obligated to work on this and not take any time to yourself, especially when we have so much else to worry about.

My two cents!

I'm seconding this statement.

I'm thirding this :Ob! I'm sure there's a mod that wouldn't mind taking it over for that period, and it would give you a lot more room to focus on your RL stuff.

I'll agree with this because I know at the end of the month, people are trying hard to complete tasks for PoG at the last minute and those cards from RA might be the ones to help them along (for the Initiative task, the Level Up task, possibly the beach cards and the other specific cards tasks too). Not sure if they will be penalized for not getting the cards into the proper places on time since there was a delay in receiving said cards so...

My two cents too :3 ;;

I suppose the good thing about the situation is that Chikky runs that round of PoG too, so I don't think she will penalize people if their reasoning is because she herself is busy! But at the same time, this doesn't make me change my stance; I still think it would be more efficient to get the cards on time! ;w;

I'm fourthing this ;w; RA is something most of us look forward to each week after all!
