[quote=@Lugubrious]Next time there's the chance of a collab, however, I'll make an announcement post about it on the OOC, and anyone who wants in can come in. That's the single way it could be easier for other people to get involved. [/quote] It's not the single way: the much easier one is to not have a collab at all. This [i]did[/i] cut people out, because there's an assumption nobody would've intervened and that all characters are happy to stand around being a cheering section. When I said 'the roleplay's barely started', I meant in the sense that the story's barely gone anywhere. It's still a fight for the sake of having a fight. EDIT: Not to say that the fight doesn't have a point, but that it [i]was[/i] a fight.
