Most likely yes, though it's not intended to act primarily as a waiting list or anything like that. I'll consider anyone in the part-time list for a primary position just as much as I would someone who messaged me privately and said they would like to join the main group if a spot opens up or if we decide to expand the group.

But yes, if a time comes when a spot opens up or we are expanding the group, and there are multiple people wanting to join, then I will more likely accept someone who already has a part-time character, or someone who has previously expressed interest, over someone who just after I open registration back up says "Hey I'd like to join"
