That was in reference to:

The problems is that there is often a grey period where the immortal seems to be active, logs on reasonably often, but just isn't pulling their fair share of the load.

And if the immortal isn't logging on and isn't answering their emails... it's a bit of a challenge to get a dialog going about what's really going on. And considering that we're all volunteers, it is a delicate balance between luring someone back into playing that immortal we all love and/or hate and driving someone off by reacting too strongly to a week or two's vacation combined with some less active playing.

What you quoted was me trying to come up with an explanation for why someone would do something like this other than it just being accidental. Wasn't trying to imply that you guys get the axe for taking time off.

Really, I have zero problem with an immortal going inactive for weeks at a time, with no notice, and for any reason, as long as his or her status is clear to any morts seeking empowerment.
