I'm in agreement with Pach on this one. I personally don't feel comfortable with there being so many characters at one time, but the fact that every single one of those characters, even the two new "NPCs", have a regular-sized post (or longer) dedicated to them is making it take much longer to catch up on the IC than I'm used to. Like, a lot longer.

As for Delilah, I'm okay with being able to see her dialogue with Lute, but considering Lute should be the focal point and the other characters can't hear Delilah anyway, I could see how it would be simpler to not write out her dialogue at all. It's the exact same outcome but with less writing, right? And it might be favorable to Lute as a character to hear his responses out of context.

I wouldn't mind guests being in the OOC if it was just Neobullseye, but I'd hesitate to allow it because I wouldn't be okay with more than, say, two guests being semi-active in our OOC. One post a day max would be alright with me. /shrug
