Let me clarify a few things:
1) My summer job is the same job I've done for the past three summers. I've been gone for relatively the same timeframe every time. This summer I'll be gone again. What we know is that despite being going for the summer, I'll for sure be back come mid-august. As HF17 pointed it out, I had a set amount of time before I returned, whereas you are unsure of when or if you will return.
2) I've never asked to be NPCed. That was something staff GENEROUSLY put on me due to the fact that I had proven that, despite leaving for the summer, I'd be returning. Yes, college only lasts a semester, and then there's a 6 week break. What's after that though? Another semester. What's going to make this semester any different from the one you're currently in? How is being an active member of Chubbs in February not going to affect your courses of that semester if it's affecting your grades now?
3) I've been a member for YEARS. Rei, Veggie, Rad, Waffuru, MK, and Kami have been here longer than me, with 18 having joined around the same time as me (correct me on that 18, stretching the memory). If anything, I've earned an NPC role during the summer.
4) There's been obvious times when I haven't had time for the RPG. My personal saga is enough proof for that with the sparity of roleplays that occur. If you really want to keep your character, make a post every few weeks. 300 words can be done in 15 minutes. If I did it, so can you. Broli was worth enough for me not to just forget it all and let him fall into inactivity. What's Super Buu worth?
5) If anything, I'd be fine with the MIA rule being waved for the next 4-6 weeks. From there it should be clear if you are able to stay an active member or not.
