[quote=@Retired]As for a case-by-case basis, I definitely understand where you're coming from with that. And my comment of it always causing issues wasn't to infer that everyone who multis causes a problem, but that in each game there are enough that do for it to matter. 

In regards to villain PCs, every single comic game that I've joined since 2012 - using that date as that's when I first applied to ASM and began RPing with this loosely-defined group - there has been one or two people who apply as a villain, and then either immediately or after a handful of posts flounder on what to do. They have their original concept, but as soon as it comes down to hammering out posts, there's either one issue or another. Whether that be losing direction, having no one to interact with, trying to start inter-player events that no one responds to, trying to just jump into someone else's arc to try and get that interaction, etc. In that first ASM I joined I did the same; as Tombstone, I had a clear plan I wanted to do that would take him on his journey of running for mayor of NYC to use his political power to supplant Fisk as Kingpin. Instead, after a couple posts, I floundered. 

Of course, there are going to be exceptions. But, generally and largely, I find this to be the case in each and every one of these games.

We'll see, for sure. I definitely don't worry about that at the moment, due to the fact that I'm very hardline committed to never allowing second characters and PC villains into this season. But you may be right and it may be something to more carefully consider for future seasons than I might've previously thought, because I am starting to reflect on some games I've been apart of in the past and see some of the same issues pop up in my recollection. 

Maybe if a compromise can be worked out that limits the amount of play that secondary or villain characters get? I don't know. 

That's honestly a problem for another day, and I'd like to work it out with the community rather than just dictate what the game will be if we get to a Year Two. Once we cross that bridge, I'll open up a dialogue about it and see what everyone thinks to weigh out the pros and cons. But I am definitely starting to think it's an issue to be considered more seriously than I had before.
