<Snipped quote by Plank Sinatra>

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.

While I don't doubt that's what happened in the PM, I literally got on Guild this morning and read through four pages of Gratia/Napoli puns and "Give us Vignoble Brave" rephrased a few different ways. So the team was really, [i]really[/i] clamoring for it in a way that made it sound as though it was you guys lobbying Lugu, and not the other way around. 

And either way, it's a reversal on the very same decision that allowed me to get into this game in the first place after Trad was dropped from Bastion - a team which was [i]itself[/i] nearly dropped [i]entirely[/i] based on activity of the players involved.

EDIT: ayyyy seraphs thanks for saying most of what i wanted to say more eloquently and from a co-GM's perspective
