Re: Steve/NiceTXguy - there should be a bit of time on the ground so if by take-off he shows up again, shiny. Corvus/PearlRuby are doing great with the 'we'll figure it out and make room later' plan as far as his rejoining if it is after take-off when he next shows up. No reason not to let him play since we all got along with him and liked the character concept. However,<br/><br/>Re: other characters - if the GMs say we need another character to fill things out aboard ship, that's up to you two. I am happy to trust in whatever crazy-ass plans you have for the Gamble. Hell, I'm just along for the ride. I know Corvus had a smattering of other male character ideas that have not yet been picked up - perhaps one of them should fill in (played by whomever, GM or otherwise) until he gets killed or turncoats against Griff or smarts off to Sasha in some disrespectful manner and gets his ass beat. Then there would be room again for Steve/NiceTXguy or a more permanent player.<br/><br/>Imho, I love each and every one of our players and their characters - what a misfit lovable bunch we have! Can't wait to continue.
