In reply to KingHenryBlack (msg # 47):
Most of the time, I could actually handle more games than I do now. In a normal week, there's only one game I'm in where I'm not generally waiting for someone to post. However...I've learned the hard way that sometimes, all my games will have flurries of activity at the same time...and it's also usually during a stretch of time where RL demands on my time mean I've got lee-than-usual amounts of time to post.
'How many is too many' can only be answered by the individual player...but it doesn't hurt to ask yourself, If all these games go really active at the same time, can I keep up? If you can't give an unequivocal 'yes' response to that, you may want to look at just how you've committed yourself. And if can answer yes, more power to you. *grin*
An interesting point - thankfully the 4 games I'm in haven't had terribly much in the way of posting 'frenzy' at the moment. (Suppose that's a blessing for the moment) I'm usually on 2-3 times a day, so I can nip any particular sprouts in the bud. If it all goes haywire, I'll have to prioritise, to be sure. Thankfully, most games give you a couple of days to read over things and comment. I *should* be fine, but I guess I'll know when the 'rubber hits the road."
I'm also specifically holding back on the Game I want to run to see if just such a thing happens, and how I can handle it before committing to running anything. "Be prepared" is more than a Boy Scout motto for me.
