Desmond Morris zoologist, ethologist, sociobiologist.
One of the most influential and underrated thinkers of our time. 
I always link this short opinion piece of his from +20 years ago, still relevant today as we continue to learn more about animal sentience and linguistics. RIP naked ape, your understanding of how unspecial we are as a species made you special among our kind.

Brain meats failing happens.
More and more frequently, as the decades continue their inexorable march…
@sao I’ve done that very thing myself.
Brain meats failing happens.
@MisterBoring This was me at one point. Did the prep, did RP about the thing in advance, did the request. I was excited to play it!
Completely flaked on the event. Why? Forgot about it. Completely spaced the time and date until after it had passed.
I was so embarrassed by myself I ended up vanishing off the whole game after that.
SOMETIMES THERE’S NO REASON AT ALL.

Honestly, I don’t think anyone really expects people to be online and available every single day anymore.
Totally, the only expectation I have these days from fellow MUers is that if you sign up for some special event in advance, and do a bunch of RP prior to that in preparation for that, then no showing it (or even worse, jumping into a totally unrelated scene at the same time) is pretty uncool.
There are exceptions of course, but if you don’t have any emergencies or OOC drama on the game, why for aren’t you in the planned scene?
@Aria I can see there being that immediacy/need/“obligation” happening with games as they first open especially, but agree, after things get going and chill out~~ we’re all just trying to fucking exist. I say, returning to rp after a flakey stint being burnt out by rl.

I think most games these days are open to whatever your schedule is. Just explain it in the OOC comms channels before you get super deep into it so that nobody’s setting incorrect expectations for your attendance.
Honestly, I don’t think anyone really expects people to be online and available every single day anymore. I could be wrong, but if that’s the sort of pressure you’re getting from someone, direct them to the immortal words of Taylor Swift:

@Cobalt A fair number of our players favour the 1-3 times a week playstyle for what it’s worth.
I’ll have to poke in!
