I think... that this one is a lot easier to follow/understand, and appreciate that you took the time to elaborate a little bit. @Kitty - You're generally awesome and I don't get this vibe from you in specific, actually. What I meant , and quite honestly failed to call attention to was that elsewhere...

And to be frank, if we want to talk about social pressure, we can also talk about the OOC pressure those of us trying to timebox our play receive from others, as well as the strange IC reactions we sometimes receive. It has not been a welcoming environment. I, uhm. I... am sorry you have received s...

At the same time, we cannot say, "Joe absolutely must play this way because certain people in the game have less time in the game than others."

I will also note that it feels like this has strayed a long way from, "People who idle out of scenes constantly," to "people that don't pose fast enough." While both were mentioned, it wasn't saying people weren't posing within 2 - 5 minutes, it said they weren't posing for 20. They are two entirely...

To put all that together, how about we time people emotes when they have whererp on (either by location or by manually turning it on) and then if that counter is under 4 minutes they will get tagged like [SLOW], akin how [IAW} shows next to names.
