I assume the former. But since I'm already putting myself out there. (I know, no likes 'the questions guy'. But I ask, because I want things to be fair for everyone.) I hope (and politely suggest) whoever isn't originally selected, can still take part in the RP. If someone ghosts, or decides to drop out early. So the RP doesn't die.

And with that said, I hope everyone is able to take part as well.

Oh! I'm sorry, I actually got an answer on this because I'm in a discord with NoCo for a different RP. I should have shared the answer here as soon as I got it. Yes, the GM and Co-GM's characters are automatically accepted, and yes they count for the character limit, so in total there's space for seven other players.

I'm really hoping now that it's been 24 hours since NoCo said there would be a 24 hour window that we hear who's accepted soon. This process has been a lot worse for my anxiety than I thought it would be. X.x
