Sorry everyone, I want to be clear that I'm not blaming the hosts for my own inability to keep up with the game. Truthfully, I didn't know the size of the game I was signing up for, and I expected things to be easy because I know the theme very well. Especially with me being late to the game in the first place, which happened because I don't normally check WG very often, it's been very hard for me to keep up.
I was disappointed to see that we're still on day 2, because it was basically my day 1 and being present for a few cycle changes will help me acclimate. I'm really not able to spend a lot of time going back over the posts I missed, but I am now giving this thread several hours of my time every day which is the best I can do. Please just let me stick around long enough to actually become involved with the game.
