Bah, I'm such a bad CoGM. I feel I'm too blase' about most everything.

Either way, it's my job to stand by the GM's decision. So, I shall.

I was under the impression that the CoGM's job was to offer an opposing viewpoint and help the GM to make decisions or in the GMs absence to arbitrate disputes.

I don't believe so. There's no reason we need to have an automated response to anyone who leaves and returns, you can make a judgement on a case-by-case basis instead of leaving it up to they left now they want back in. In a player vs player arrangement I think it's fairly obvious that one member would sit out. Just as any team who advances in the tournament in the RWBY canon sits out all but one fighter. The example you relay about teams ten to fifteen strong are ridiculous and honestly it's pointless to even talk about it.

It's fairly simple, I approached the GM of this RP, apologized that I left without a word and we worked out an agreement. My grandmother passed away and I wasn't putting RPG at the top of my priorities. 

He then decided that he would let me back onto my team, if every single member of my team was alright with it, if not he would've transferred Bianca and that would've been that. But they were alright with it, forgave me for my absence and it ended. If you disagree with Lug and you think that a five man team threatens the fabric of the RWBY universe and the RP, then you will have to appeal to him.

He's the GM he makes the rules and what have you. But I do want to be clear that as I stated to Lug before, I've already told him that I will be flexible with making it work. If that means I have to sit out of Vytal, so be it. I asked Lug if he could see it working and he said he could. So that's where I'm at with this right now.

This'll probably have to be my last post on this topic, I don't want to add fuel to an unnecessary argument and I appear to be speaking to four or five people who share an opinion which means I'm not going to do anything to sway you.

I'm sorry about your Grandmother, I hope your family is doing alright.

The ten to fifteen strong was an over exaggeration to make a point. The real problem with this is that there is no such thing as an exception. If Bianca is allowed to return to her old team then what grounds would we have to deny Trad the same right. Not to mention the IC reasons for the exception. I realize that in IC Bianca had a family emergency which I think would be grounds to let her return to Beacon once the crisis was past but as far as Ozpin's decision making skills go I don't think there is a valid reason for him to let Bianca return to her old team. The entire training course of the Academy is designed around four man teams. Having a person with five people disrupts that.

And I'm not calling you a liar or anything but we haven't actually heard a final ruling from Lugubrious. We have only your word that he did approve of this. I'm not trying to start anything and you don't need to defend your integrity but that conversation also took place before a plethora of objections from the rest of the cast which may alter the ruling somewhat. My point is that until Lug actually says something in the OOC Bianca returning to VGNB is not set in stone.
