1. So, I openly admitted this on plurk, but I try to space out my top levels to different days - I did a top level on the opening log and was the first top level, so I didn't want to be the first one again to top level, so to speak. Not to mention that there was going to be an IC announcement that I was waiting for.
In terms of my personal participation, a lot of my inactivity stems from personal things that happened outside of the game, so that's entirely on me and not you guys.
2. I personally don't mind the 1:2 day schedule all that much, so I'll leave it at that.
3. I have a personal preference of noon or later in terms of the investigation + trial times, just as long as it's consistent. I'm in PST, so any time earlier than that is going to be ridiculously early on my end, and I'd prefer to participate in the trial.
Other things: Also, I might be the only one who missed voting and that's entirely on me, but I'd like to suggest a reminder closer to the voting time when votes are due, especially since they're done on a separate screened post instead of a top level. I honestly thought that since I actually missed voting that Sakura was going to get punished for not voting at all due to the warning of 'refusing not to vote is not an option', so I was honestly pretty shocked when she wasn't.
I also agree with the above re: debit cards - mostly because there's not really a way to check how much of a balance a character has, whether or not it's infinite or not since there's no banks around and therefore people wouldn't have known if there was money or not unless they tested it or heard from the Sergeant. But having an infinite amount means that everything is essentially free, not to mention that it doesn't really seem to play a part in the plot all that much; although I can definitely see it being used for a potential motive.
I don't have much else to say that hasn't already be said but thank you so much for running this mock round and hopefully this helps a little on improving and streamlining things so that the main round does well!
