I seem to still be missing the point on the AC thing, since anyone who needed more activity under the new requirements would also have needed more under the old ones. The new requirements didn't affect anyone. They are lower than the previous requirements. I can only apologise for how things with Sandy have been handled, but I'm sure that you can understand that Kira and I were (are) worried about her and felt it would be distasteful to make a big deal of it. Should anything similar happen again, we will be sure to do things differently.
I would like to point out that - as far as I can recall - we haven't missed any deadlines over the last two months. Plot posts have gone up on time. Plot events have happened when we said they would happen. Echoes have been dealt with promptly. Player questions and plotting concerns have been processed swiftly too - usually within a day. Our largest sticking point has been slow tagging on NPC threads (on my own part, not Kira's), and this is why we recruited a helper for that purpose. If we've been late with anything else recently that I haven't addressed, do tell (this isn't me being snippy, this is me genuinely not remembering).
WRT aliens/the car: this is an entirely valid point. Sandy was in charge of this plot, and when she disappeared this fell by the wayside. The aliens will be becoming relevant again shortly. Ditto NPC guest star plots - this is, again, something we're going to pick up now that we have helpers in place. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
Finally: I'm sorry, but since plenty of characters (powered and not) have faced consequences from the mafia (beatings, threats of being "outed" as Numbered, property destruction, kidnappings, murdered/threatened family members) I think we'll just have to agree to disagree.
