I mean, wasn't his ban because of an out of character dispute? He's not causing any trouble OOC on the forum regardless of whether or not I continue to keep his character "alive" as an intermediary and present in the RP so that he can resume play when his ban is lifted in about two weeks. If I'm specifically told to stand down by a mod, or if it makes the other people in the RP uncomfortable, of course I'll stop, since I don't mean to violate any rules or cause any inconvenience out of character by making things easier on him to rejoin. But if nobody minds, I'd rather just uphold the status quo. Admittedly, that's for selfish reasons, since we kinda did a lot of planning for goofy shenanigans and stuff and I really don't want to have to rethink Nephy's entire arc. ^^; But regardless, if it's alright with everyone else, I'd prefer if we didn't completely leave him behind.
