So...any ideas on how to handle things? Should we seek them out and ask permission to take over their characters, or at least to turn them into NP Cs? I'm honestly a little scared that, with so many people dropping out for one reason or another, that this RP will shrivel up and die before the real action can begin.
Honestly? I'm like Endark, In that I'm scared that the RP will die before the action begins. I think that what Endark said is the best initial Idea but if we can't get a hold of them or they are refusing to let the characters become NP Cs (If it is a permaban) that Ud's idea of recruiting more people would be best and I am really hesitant to say that as I really don't like Retcon's or booting people out but if that's what has to be done to save the RP...
Zehi Ni Oyobazu... - Oda NobunagaIn the event that a Retcon is unavoidable, though, I suggest we make the dropped characters into Leaders-In-Training (or at least regular squires) rather than editing them out of the plot altogether. That way, in case the ban isn't permanent and the returning players want to resume their positions (and if it's okay with whoever took their places), we can have a scene of their replacements passing the torch and avoid introducing the characters all over again.
...Of course, this is all assuming that we actually get replacements before the ban is lifted. I've got a link in my signature, but really, there's not much you can do to advertise an RP.
-Waves enthusiastically-
OP is up. A little laconic, but there isn't much to say.
It doesn't matter if it is laconic, what is important is establishing the character.
Zehi Ni Oyobazu... - Oda NobunagaIndeed it does. Though the real characterisation would happen when he interacts, of course.
On empty crossroads, seek the eclipse -- for when Sol and Lua align, the lost shall find their way home.Of course but how a character communicates to another tends to be dictated by how one establishes their characterisation (We also have this in real life, known as a personality)
My god I'm getting psychoanalytical and philosophical now maybe I should stop...

Zehi Ni Oyobazu... - Oda NobunagaWell, it's been almost a week since the last post, and I'm not sure how to reply to it without repeating something already stated. Psyga, if you're reading this, I'd suggest that you have the Gold Knight come back to the dining room and start talking about the main plot before anyone else loses interest or becomes unavailable to post. Otherwise, I'd say that my fears have been realized and that this RP is finished.

Apparently because of what Maddy said
