(Where to begin?  So many issues to address.  I believe I will stick to the main issue, the flow of an RP.  It IS difficult to have an RP flow swiftly when people have RL's and different time zones.  Patience is of the essence.  If you are not patient, you can't make it work.  I usually do something else, such as play Skyrim or do screenshots and just refresh until a post pops up.  If it's something I can work with, I answer.  If not, I wait some more.  Most RP's die due to lack of patience.  I believe the GM must help move things along also.  If someone is absent for a long time then he or she must either control that character or create an event which forces the others to act in the absence of that character.  There is also a shakedown period at the beginning when dozens of people join and then drop out.  Look at how many have dropped out of this RP within the first couple of days!  They lost interest. They lacked patience. So I would say, have patience.)
