With all the pairings issue..

I hope it really does challenge each individual player and character because then it's harder for the RP to die if each and every one of us feels challenged and needing to make it work (with their character's partner at least.)

Also, 

I believe the connections web should be complicated and developed. 
So we don't just worry about the one our character is paired with but rather everyone.

Basically a real court with real drama as expected with 11-12 nations put in one place. Doesn't have to be only romance-based.

Or so I believe. Just my 2 cents for this RP because I would like to see it actually live and succeed in giving us all a marvelous time.
