Okay so it looks like its down to four of us: myself, Sessha, Akira, and Catherine.  I was thinking of trying to recruit some new players but perhaps its best to stick with the group we've got rather than bringing in untested players who may or may not be very reliable.  Four players should be enough to have a good game if all of them are committed.<br/><br/>Now since we've lost one, possibly two key players, we're going to need to start over (I am thinking of starting after Kayaba's announcement this time in order to avoid replaying the parts before it).  And if we're going to be doing that, I think it would be a good idea to make some revisions to our characters.  In particular I think it would be good to create some new connections between the characters so that it makes sense for them to come together at the start of the game.  Perhaps the group is mostly students from the university Sara attends or something.<br/><br/>What are your thoughts on these matters?
