How about a split then? Make two rps, set in the same setting, but at different place? Kinda like a split-off of a popular series! Both are looking for the Avatar, yet both do so for different reasons!

Hmm, issue with this is, I'd have to basically GM two games at once while still coming up with an overarching plotline and how to tie both groups into it and also deal with any drama and or IC issues. If I were to give the GMing reins to someone else and run the other myself it would take a crapton of effort to make sure that their GMing follows the established canon of the other RP.

And if one RP dies, what does that mean for the other one?

Well, you could close [i]applications[/i] and then give everyone from this thread four days or a week or something to put a character together - if they haven't got one by then, they almost certainly wouldn't have had one ready for a timely start [i]anyway[/i] even if you were just accepting everyone.

I'm thinking about doing this actually, but there's the issue if enough of the 14 show up to make it clogged up anyway...

Alternatively, you could put everyone's names into a hat/assign everyone a number and then randomly select a group of your preferred size. Personally I prefer a merit judgement, which is why I initially suggested a decision based on quality/depth/potential of character sheet, but at the same time this [i]is[/i] casual, so maybe requiring high standards of presentation and characterisation isn't the most appropriate. On the other hand, you don't have to make your standards massively high, if you're just determining [i]between applicants[/i]...

Etc. etc.

And then you provide an answer to that concern anyway. Definitely not doing the random choice option, lol. I was hoping on high-casual anyway, so maybe I should go with this, maybe put a sample post section on the CS to judge whether someone's up to snuff. I do hate doing that but it may be a necessity.

I'll think about it. Keep making suggestions guys, they're really helping
