both are good points. honestly I'd like to get this tournament stuff done quick so everyone can interact. Either that or the GM starts off the 'arc' plans and the audiance members can start on it first to give them stuff to do.In fact that would solve both problems. Get the arc started with the audience members noticing something off and work that angle with them while the tourny people are still in the tourny and join later or whatever when things hit the fan.

This would be fine by me if it solves everyone's problems. It's not like I like the situation either and hopefully it'll be better once this is over with, but forcing collabs wouldn't fix things at least on my end.

Or, you know, he could give us something to do? Not everyone needs to be gathered at the tournament, it's not impossible to have something happening elsewhere to give the rest of us something to do. Just saying.

Again, that sounds fine by me if it makes everyone happy, but take it up with him. I don't have anything to do with how this stuff is organized, y'know.
