I have a suggestion - from a D&D 5e game which I'm playing on GP and is going at a much better pace.
How about you BlackStork commit to post at a certain time each day (convenient for you). We the players then have about 24 hours to post, knowing that you will post again at about the same time the next day and keep the story going.
If people don't post, their character just does the most neutral thing - moves along with the party, takes the Defend action in combat etc. But in any case the game moves on.
I have found this both a motivator to post on time in that other game, and I'm really enjoying the pace of that game.
Edit: One additional idea I've had (not tested in gameplay) is that players could give 'standing orders' for their characters, like "in combat I will attack the biggest threat" or "in combat I will provide support with numenera and cyphers", and then if players skip a turn the GM could follow these standing orders for them. There could be a Standing Orders thread for this, and players can modify them when they want. It could also work well for dealing with holidays/vacations.
