Hmm. The more I read into this, the more this seems like a general miscommunication problem. When I went on hiatus, I actually made a big deal out of Sharrkan going into synodic and Shikamaru being on auto, because I mulled over it for like a week and discussed with people what would be best. I didn't post up an OOC notice because those always annoyed me when it popped up on my flist, but I did mention it on plurk -- probably not the best move on my end. I'll try to be more clear next time. ;A;

I think I kind of get the gist of the problem, so I'll send you a pp so we can talk more directly. (blush)
