Supremely disappointed that this looks like it's closed. This is the most creative and endearing idea for a roleplay I've seen in a long time; it reminds me strongly of [i]A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,[/i] one of my favorite novels of all time. Ever. 

Would a 'pretty please with a cherry on top' be enough to convince you to [s]wildly overextend your capabilities[/s] slightly expand the crew one last time?
