Oh sorry, I opened that when I was half-asleep last night and then had forgotten it by morning. I do that sometimes, if it's ever been more than a day since you(anyone I mean, not just Reverent) PMed me and haven't gotten a response don't hesitate to poke me about it.<br/><br/>I appreciate the effort but I reeeeaally don't think having the back-up players in a separate chain would simplify things. It would kind of do the exact opposite in fact.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">The only characters that can possibly be in a given session are the ones who were created through ectobiology in that session. After Entering in the first place, surviving long enough to figure out and implement the ecto-bio-baby-making is the second big hurdle players have to overcome, and in one of Karkat's conversations with John he flat-out states that that's what most of the puzzles and stuff are leading the players to figure out.<br/><br/>The Guardians in John/Rose/Dave/Jade's session had to lead John to the machines and set everything up for him because he didn't have time to solve the puzzles (because of Jack started the reckoning WAY earlier than usual.) In a session that isn't massively broken that's something the players have to figure themselves out.<br/><br/>If the possibility of your character's chain link being in line after or before an NPC's is bothering you we can just make sure you're in the middle of the current chunk of PCs.</div></div><br/>Just for reference, is there anyone who's starting off as a Client who'd be okay with their character being the server for an NPC, and anyone starting off as a Server who'd be okay with being RR's or another NPC's client?
