[quote=@Plank Sinatra] t h i s h i s RWBY's one cardinal rule in an entire host of contradictions and loose lore elements is that at academies, all teams have four members. If that's changing, then I don't particularly like it, but whatever. It's the fact that up to this point, every other person who has disappeared from the game, with advanced warning or not, has gotten totally screwed out of their spot and replaced, and the fact that VGNB filled up OOC with "please please please please please" until they got a fifth member doesn't sit well with me. A lot of those guys are my friends, but it's the truth. It doesn't sit right with me. But if that's changing, officially, then fine. As long as, after this point, people who fall off the map aren't summarily replaced and assumed to be dead, missing, or dropouts wandering the streets of Vale penniless, and are left available to return in the exact same way. If that's not the case, then this decision was made in pretty poor taste, in my opinion. [/quote] I agree with just about everything you said there should be consistency. I will say though, you don't make the old way sound very appealing: people getting screwed out of their spot but that is neither here nor there. However I'll let you know that me and Lugu actually spoke in PM about different ways for me to come back. Originally he asked if I wanted to make a senior character, or have Bianca transfer teams. I told him I'd probably go the senior character route as a five man team wasn't really a possibility. He told me that it was possible, just that the other four needed to be alright with it. We didn't fill the OOC with please please please. I went to the GM and discussed it.
