If it really is so bothersome and enough people really lack the patience I can come up with something meaningless and irrelevant to the plot for the non-tourney characters to do. In fact that is so easy anyone can literally come up with an idea. As for something meaningful for them to do it isn't so simple to "come up with" an idea for. I'm open to suggestions but I'm getting tired of pointless complaints. Refer to the rules in the OP. If anyone has any ideas for something fulfilling for non-tourney characters then by all means don't keep it to yourself. But if you want to just complain about a lack thereof then by all means do keep it to yourself.
