And yes, sometimes it may be difficult to make things happen when you have to remember all the "passive" people that surround me.
To take a recent example of how you might take care of that...
Once upon a time, there was The Jolly Roger Bar. A tavern thread of which Cool.One was the founder.
A lot was happening at once. And I felt I should reply to everyone at once, being after all the barkeeper. (Yep, being extremely modest here again, to take one of my own posts as an example...)
Someone by the name of ScareCrow asked me to show him his room, but he was still sitting at his table. A little bard had just entered, and needed medical attention (amongst other side-plots...) So I had to find a way to get to the rooms for ScareCrow, then down again to hand out orders, all in one post, because if I had to wait for ScareCrow to answer first that indeed he had found his room and entered, downstairs things might have got out of hand.
This is what I posted:

With that said, Cool.One left his bouncer, and returned to the table in the corner. He grabbed a lit torch from the wall and spoke.
"Your room, sir... Follow me..."
Cool.One mounted the stairs, and with a vague gesture of his arm motioned towards the long corridor with doors on both sides.

"They are all empty... Just choose one... The lock is on the inside, no key needed. However, if you choose to stay for a longer while, you can come to me and ask for the key so that you may close the door when you go out without your belongings...
Now if you'll excuse me... Sounds like things are going on..."

Cool.One bowed shortly, and made his way downstairs again.

I could have said that ScareCrow was right behind me, but I didn't. He could still be at his table, or he could be behind me on the stairs, or already ahead of me in the corridor. That was up to him in his next post...
