This. A thousand and one times, this. I've said repeatedly IC and OOC for people to please contact me OOC(preferably via PM) about this sort of thing. I am not available 24/7/365, and my work has been giving me more hours, so my time is even more restricted.
If you expect me to respond at all to a plot point, then send me a PM. I have a reminder in my signature for exactly this purpose.
