Status Updates
There should be a way for members to post a status update on their profiles with notifications sent to all the players/narrators in the games they are in when they change their status. This would allow players to post things like "Going on vacation, so I won't be posting for a couple of weeks" or "Work has been busy. I'll catch up on posts for all my games on Friday" once instead of posting on the comment section of each individual game.

I was just thinking about this too.
A Player Status which would be posted to all or select games (checkboxes) with a message.
Perhaps the profile would have a few default statuses: busy, vacation, suspended, MIA. These could also be triggered by a set time of absence too. Perhaps with no posts 3 days it could be set to busy, 5 days it could be set to Out, 2 weeks it could be set to MIA.There should also be an area for expected return, so people can know this too, which is really important. This could also change the color of their character cards or game descriptions. Perhaps the background of the character cards could change to yellow for busy, orange for out, or red for something else (retired, MIA, etc)
