In the absence of a specifically established posting order or skipping protocol (i.e. “skip if it’s been more than 48 hours”), most players will default to the initial posting order and skipping if it’s been over a week or so. However, posting order is a more universally agreed upon standard than skipping protocols, so different players may have a different idea of when it’s appropriate to skip.

Still, 48 hours is probably a good baseline threshold for skipping. If you’ve been skipped and it’s been less than 48 hours since the prior post, you can politely alert the player who skipped you of standard post order etiquette, as they may be unaware. If you were skipped and it’s been more than 48 hours, you can still let the person know about post order etiquette, but you may also want to let your thread partners know you’d prefer to stick with the posting order, even if it takes a little longer for you to respond.

As always, it’s best to communicate openly with your thread partners. If there was nothing agreed on beforehand, no one’s really in the wrong for posting out of turn or skipping (basically a free-for-all, yes), but if it makes you uncomfortable or messes up your groove in the thread, it’s certainly worth pointing out!

"Everyone seems to be in distress...Let's all try to calm down and...try to think of something else other than what the bear said. You know what they say, taking away the negative in a situation would only leave the positive right?"

He made his voice louder so that everyone in the house would hear his declaration. As the master of the house, he's gotta be the one who's in charge and to keep everyone together.

"Something to distract ourselves, to help us bond with each other to lessen the likelihood of us murdering..."

He tapped his chin, trying to think of something that could actually work in this situation. Then it hit him.
