I've roleplayed with so many people that limits almost seem hilarious to me. The best part about RPing is the characters, so the more the merrier! If the vote is to decide whether we allow everyone interested in, then I say full steam ahead! If I were in your position, here's how I would do it: By March 21st, or in 3 days (It just turned 1AM here), all the characters completely finished, no revisions done, are in. If a person needs to get their character revised, but they didn't make the IC deadline, then I'd throw them. Although I want to see as many RPers as possible, I only want to see the dedicated ones. If you aren't dedicated enough to finish a character sheet in three days, when I finished mine in an hour, then I don't want to have to plan the plot to explain why so-and-so character dropped out. Only commit if you plan on going through all the way, alright? No shame in dropping it now.

tl;dr, If all the people interested so far finishes by the IC post, they are good. No new people besides those, though. We are too close to the deadline for that.

And yes, I am Russian. Technically not born there, but that's where my heritage is. Though I don't have the look for it, people always give me an odd face when I tell them that. "Are you sure? You don't look Russian to me. Maybe you're wrong." Like lol people, I think I know my family.

EDIT: Wow, two posts in the time it took me to write this. That's a new record.
