The Nchi'mahadhi are a very event-centric pride, with many gatherings and lots of activity. There are times it's both expected and realistic for certain pride members to be present in ORPs. For example, what's a drum circle without the drummers?
But Real Life is A Thing and sometimes plots briefly take characters with important ranks away from the pride. If you're on a hiatus or your character has taken a leave of absence (or leaving their rank), just post here.
There is no penalty for not doing so, but your character will be assumed to have been present for any ORPs that would require their attendance unless stated otherwise, even if you don't post in them. If you're fine with that, don't sweat it.
