Usually, if a player knows they're going to be away, we have a specific board for posting absences. If the player goes MIA, then the storytellers might make a move to keep things going.

So how does one know when a round is over? If a player were to leave the boards for a bit, I would think that the other players would be allowed to start another round without that player after a certain amount of time, right? So would there be some sort of time limit or something like that? Otherwise the boards could freeze while they wait for a player to take their turn, especially if someone leaves for a long period of time and forgets to let everyone know. <em>Allison's last blog post..<a href='http://sushiday.com/archives/2008/05/25/orange-flavored-mochi/' rel="nofollow">Orange-Flavored Mochi</a></em> Interesting.
