Many may have slower posting rates than the rest in a team (or higher)<br/>and will likely be moved to a team that has a simular rate (may make sense to have a quick first two missions to see this - but that is pixies choice I guess).<br/><br/>Peeps drop in and out all the time due to RL issues - so however perfectly balanced starting will be its not going to stay that way for long - on average I think pixie will keep things balanced where she can when she can - with the GATE allowing clean changes of groups - it really is a story line more plyable for group swapping than most<br/><br/><div align="center">* </div>As far as posting goes to leave it in a state where your not waiting or trapping another<br/><br/>what veterans do is end conversations they start in<strong>third person dismissive</strong><br/>(dismissive is your not touching on the outcome) - ie without implying what the resolution was ... that way its easier for whoever is online to jump in without chronological synchronization issues.<br/><br/>EG<br/>-<br/><div align="center">-person Y's post---</div><br/><strong>"Hi ... how are you going did you get my sandwich?"
