No, part-time members

[quote=@Bell]
'parttime members' which as the main OC post explains basically means you can do quests as you wish for a little RP but won't be involved in the main plotlines.

Part-time positions are for people who want to do quests when I get them listed for some one on one RP within the universe without taking part in the main plot. They have no ties to the main plot, however if at some point someone has to drop out of the RP a part-time member can switch over into the main group if they wish. 

If you want to be a part of the main group, the part-time position is not meant to tide you over or act as a 'good enough' deal until then.
