I think there is a reason for a kind of "double standards" here. I do agree with Sauce and others in thinking, that people should not rush from one game to another.
But then again, there's a kind of difference between people playing: when f.ex. Roa or myself (or Lommy) says, one can't be in wholeheartedly, it means they only post 5-10 posts / day - and having Gil-Galad post more than once / day, would be a miracle. It's not so easy, as quantity making for quality... but most of the time, people posting more are posting substantially, whereas people posting once aDay seem to be those just hanging on.
So, we have different timetables, we have different time-zones, but we also have different dedication to playing the game. So it isn't right to judge people by their willingness to participate on another game as such.
I myself admit having written a very bad post concerninig Valier's game (thinking I would be killed very soon with my tactics of playing, and thence being able to join Farael's game), but that's something is luckily behind now, as the "cats" thought of killing me the first night. I hope, I have learned from this.
I hope also, we all should see the point here: let the people playing wholeheartedly play the game/s (in TiG or TiGJ, one or two games at the time)? If there is clearly a lack of commitment, let us then be critical, and the person her/himself should learn from it.
Everyone should be wise enough to see her / his own limits: not assigning to more games (any games in BD or otherwise) that s/he can manage, but also taking advantage of several games, if there are resources for really playing them... I wouldn't even think of beginning two games simyltaneously, but might consider joining one when another is ending.
Just tact, or good judgement required...
EDIT: X-posted with Diamond: just applauding her post! She's got reason.
