CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE
will the real slim shady please stand up Quick announcement.
The RP character roster is starting to get stupidly bloated again. In the interest of Romance Dawn not winding up as another Deluge, everyone will now be limited to one character per player unless stated otherwise by the GM in question.
It's either that or outright tell some people to leave, which will likely have the same effect.
I mean holy shit, do you guys remember how fucking painful Deluge was? Or was that just me because I had to GM it.
There are just too many players and too many characters. We can't really cut down on players because no one will want to actually leave, so this is the alternative.
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying with 2, though, since it's kind of worded funny. Please clarify.

That seems to be most people's plans. (I'll fully admit it was actually mine at a later point after Certain Things happened as well.)
But this is what likely needs to happen, unless you can come up with a better idea. If you can, by all means share. I know this kind of sucks but it's really the only thing I can think of that would circumvent telling half the playerbase to temporarily leave and sit certain plots out, which I'm sure would go over swimmingly.
From them. This isn't an arbitrary decision I've made.

GMing is not an exact science. What works for one plot won't work for another. Spaz's plot suffered from the number of players, Ramuf's didn't. It's all down the the GM's discretion.
If Riv and Duff feel they can't run the plot adequately without us slimming the roster down, that's their call to make.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?I'd honestly like to hear more people's opinions from both sides, because this really does need a solution even if it isn't the one I've proposed.
Doing this cuts the cast size down a much more manageable twelve characters, give or take.
@Seer: That depends. Personally I'm in favourite of permanent, because Deluge was a fucking torturous slog that ceased to be fun for almost everyone involved and I'm not wishing that on anyone else that bites off more than they can chew. But again, I'm open to debate here.
@Riv and Duffy if they're still online: you guys wanna say your piece?

P much
that's what happens when you pour chemicals on random rats and adopt whatever survives.
